NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — New Braunfels Police have ruled out a connection between two deaths in the area of the I-35 Buc-ee's store believed to have occurred in a short time frame.
On Sunday night, officers were called to the Buc-ee's after a 51-year-old woman from New Braunfels was found dead in her car. Police determined her death was "an obvious suicide attempt."
While officers were on the scene of that death, other officers were called out to an RV park a few blocks from the Buc-ee's location after a second 51-year-old woman from New Braunfels was found dead inside her residence. Police said she had been deceased for at least 24 hours. An autopsy is being performed and her cause of death is still under investigation.
Detectives determined there was no evidence of a connection in the two cases.
