The Texas mother-of-two who vanished three weeks ago after doorbell camera footage filmed her rushing out to work without her cellphone or medication has been found dead in the front passenger seat of her car at a strip mall four miles from her home.
A security guard at a San Antonio strip mall found Christina Lee Powell’s body after noticing a foul odor coming from a car which had been ‘parked in the same location for about a week’, police told Fox News. She has not been seen since her disappearance.
The 39-year-old was last seen on her doorbell cam leaving home in San Antonio at 10:34 a.m. on July 5, after calling in to her job as a paralegal to let them know she was running late. The police started a three-day search after she disappeared.
Powell’s body had no visible signs of trauma and was located in her Nissan Rogue at Huebner Oaks Center. It is only a 10-minute drive from Powell’s home.
Fox was told by a law enforcement source that she was alone when found and that all windows were shut in her car. It was 100F in San Antonio most of the week.
The shopping plaza where she was found is located along the same stretch of interstate as her job at Sanchez & Wilson, a law firm that handles cases such as personal injury and unfair dismissals.
The Powell’s home is eight minutes away from their offices. Websites of law firms greet visitors with messages asking for details about Powell’s disappearance.

Fox News reported Mobley that her daughter was with Mobley the day before she vanished.
‘We didn’t really have any kind of in-depth conversation,’ she said. She said, “Good Morning.” She said she was late. After that, she left for work and I warned her not to panic. She probably said, “I love you.”
Mobley added, ‘I felt like she was going, I believed she was going to work — and I think she felt like she was going to work.’
