Garland Police Seek Public Help Identifying Man Found Dead Creek

Garland police are seeking public assistance to identify an adult male whose partial remains were found in a creek under a bridge on Anita Drive following heavy rains in North Texas. The body, discovered entangled in debris, is believed to have been carried downstream from a location north of the discovery site due to recent flooding. A distinctive tattoo on the man's upper left thigh, featuring claws and possibly a wing or similar imagery, serves as a key identifying clue despite the condition making details difficult to discern. Authorities, including the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office, are investigating the cause of death, which remains unknown. Police urge anyone with information to contact Detective Lingenfelter or the Garland Police Department to aid in identification. The investigation is ongoing as officials hope community input will help solve the case.
