Body of missing man found floating in Port of Houston.
HOUSTON - The body of a 26-year-old man missing for almost two weeks was recovered from the Port of Houston, according to medical examiners. An autopsy is due to determine his cause of death.
A tugboat crew found Burkes’ body Friday in the Houston Ship Channel, roughly 12 miles down the White Oak Bayou from where he was last seen. A Houston Police Department dive team recovered the body. “We put a lot of effort in that search,” Miller said. “We knew that it was him, but of course, we had to wait for positive ID.”Police have not said if they believe Burkes fell in the water on his own or if foul play was involved. The case has been turned over to HPD’s Homicide Unit, but that’s standard any time there’s a death associated with a missing person’s case.
Meanwhile, Burkes’ family wants answers about what happened to the 26-year-old. His mother, Karen Jeffly, begged for the public’s help in the search for her son last week.His family says Burkes’ friends left him without his car or ID, and his cell phone ran out of battery. In surveillance video, he can be seen stumbling near McInytre’s after he was apparently asked to leave the bar.
