In the link in the last reply on that post, she was ID by dental records so they had to have found her head at the time. but it was same area and on the shoulder of the same highway.

"On Thursday, a badly decomposed severed human head was found south of Hackberry in Cameron Parish on the shoulder of Hwy. 27, according to Sheriff Ron Johnson."

I wonder if the two events are related.

This made an impression on me with the Combs case...

"If her death occurred in Cameron Parish, the sheriff said it would be the first homicide in the parish since 1996."

So, if that's true, then this current case would make 2 homicides in about two years or so. I didn't see anywhere (at least not here) if an arrest or progress had been made with the Combs case. Going hit the internet searches.
 
im looking for missing in Louisiana and the Houston area, but really she could be from anywhere and not reported right? is this road more of a road only mostly locals would use?
 
Detectives with the Houston Police Department are looking into missing persons cases in Harris, Montgomery and Liberty counties. Officials are also working with Cameron Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana after a woman's head was also discovered in a trash bag south of Hackberry on the shoulder of Highway 27.

That would make Beaumont about halfway between the two spots, if they are related. Easy shot over on hwy 90 and I-10. Hopefully word has spread and people are keeping an eye out.
 
April 24, 2018 Investigators probe possible link between severed heads found in Houston and Louisiana

Investigators are probing possible links between two macabre discoveries 150 miles apart, one on Lake Houston and the other on Calcasieu Lake in Louisiana, where the severed heads of two women were found in plastic bags near lakes and RV parks.

The unidentified victims, both white women with reddish hair and good teeth, are thought to be within the same age range and were found in similar surroundings about three weeks apart, investigators said.
Cameron Parish Sheriff’s Office investigator Jake McCain and HPD homicide investigator Michael Perez have acknowledged the similarities in the cases and victims, and agreed to keep each other updated on their respective findings.

In the Cameron Parish case in Louisiana, a prison inmate doing clean-up labor found the severed head on March 1 in a small grocery bag in a grassy marsh next to Louisiana Highway 27, a couple of miles north of the Sabine National Wildlife Park headquarters. The site is about a mile south of a community of recreational vehicle parks in Hackberry, La., and less than a mile from Calcasieu Lake, whose tributaries appear to reach out to the marshes where the head was found.

Based on Louisiana state highway maintenance records, McCain said the last date the lawn was mowed in that spot was Nov. 30. Had the bag been there at the time, mowers would have probably noticed, he said.

Preliminary forensic analysis determined the victim in Cameron Parish to be white, between 25 and 40, with auburn or brown hair 10 to 12 inches long. The advanced stage of decomposition bars visually determining any facial features, according to the Cameron Parish Sheriff’s Office. She had no apparent trauma to her skull.

The condition of the teeth of the woman found in Cameron Parish was good, but were beginning to be affected from deterioration. McCain said X-rays determined the woman had undergone “obvious dental work” which included a couple of cavity fillings.

Cameron Parish has no persons who have been reported missing.

McCain said the medical examiner in neighboring Calcasieu Parish has determined the woman’s remains were not consistent with the profiles of any of about a half dozen people reported missing there.

Police Are Investigating After The Severed Heads Of Two Women With Reddish Hair Were Found 150 Miles Apart

Police in Texas and Louisiana are investigating after severed heads belonging to two women with reddish hair were found in similar settings in each state last month.

On March 1, a woman's head was found near Calcasieu Lake in Louisiana. About three weeks later, on March 24, a woman's head was found near Lake Houston in Texas. The two lakes are about 150 miles from each other.

The women, who have not been identified, were both around the same age, had reddish hair, and good teeth.

Both of their severed heads were discovered in plastic bags, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Investigators in both cities told the Chronicle there are similarities in the cases and the police departments and have agreed to exchange information on their findings.

Officials in both states did not respond to requests for comment from BuzzFeed News, but a Houston police investigator told the Chronicle earlier this month that the case in Louisiana "sounds real similar," but added that he "can't say much without actually meeting with detectives and seeing their crime scene photos."

[...]

Louisiana authorities are still waiting for results from a forensics lab, which could take up to six months as the decomposition of that victim's body was more advanced, according to the Chronicle. She is believed to be a white, between the ages of 25 and 40, with long auburn to brown hair that is 10-12 inches long.

Authorities in Texas are looking for a man in his 20s with short, dark brown hair and light skin who witnesses said they saw throwing a black bag off a bridge two weeks before the head was found, according to KHOU. He was reportedly seen exiting a green Chevrolet truck.

Face reconstructed of woman's head found along roadway in Cameron Parish

UPDATE: Cameron Parish Officials give update on severed head

The LSU FACES Lab has done a reconstruction of what the victim may look like, Sheriff Ron Johnson said. The woman was between 30 and 50 years old, white or hispanic, with medium-length brown hair. The woman is believed to have died one to six weeks prior to March 1, the day her head was found on the side of the highway in a bag.

Also, I noticed this interesting quote: "Parish Corner's Office will be requesting further DNA testing of the victim for identification purposes by a genealogical lab."
BBM. I wonder if that means they will try to ID her using the DNA Doe Project methods?

She's younger than the suggested age (24) but I wonder if this could be Miranda Rodriquez: TX - TX - Miranda Rodriguez, 24, Houston, 25 Aug 2017
