Austin Man Arrested in Colorado Tampering Case

Daniel Strong Jr., a 73-year-old from Austin, Texas, has been arrested in Travis County on charges of tampering with a deceased human body after the body of Brenda Jackson, also of Austin, was found near I-25 in Larkspur, Colorado, on June 15. Authorities believe a dark gray Honda Odyssey van with Texas handicap license plate 1SGSC was involved in the incident. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office, working with Austin police, is seeking public assistance to trace the movements of both Strong and Jackson prior to the crime, with particular interest in dash cam footage from commercial drivers in the area. Community tips and submitted video footage have been pivotal in the investigation, which remains active. At this time, Strong faces tampering charges but no charges of murder have been filed. Authorities continue to investigate and urge anyone with information to come forward.
