So White Rock and Mountain Creek lakes are nowhere near each other. So seems he killed her and disposed of her in Mountain Creek then went to White Rock to suicide, knowing LE would think she was where he was, and knowing it wouldn't take long for LE to locate the vehicle. He was trying to keep her from her family. Sitting on my hands....
MOO

I dunno, I think its strange. His cause of death was drowning. That's a pretty uncommon way to commit suicide. Especially if he was a violent abusive guy. I could see shooting himself at the lake, in the car or even standing on a bridge so that he would fall in the lake after the fact. But straight up drowning seems off. I know everyone has been convinced he killed her, then himself, but I'm not so sure.

My theory is that he got mixed up with a bad crowd and owed them something or wronged them in some way. They took her as leverage, but jokes on them, he was a jerk and didn't care about her and was planning on skipping town to save his own tail, which is why he sent the apology and goodbye message to his family. But the bad guys got to him before he could leave or someone he trusted convinced him to meet at the lake and then they threw him in the lake, maybe knowing he wouldn't be able to swim to shore before drowning or somehow making sure he would drown. Then they still have to deal with her because she can identify them. Too dangerous to go back to white rock lake because the police found his car and are sniffing around so they dump her body in mountain creek lake.

First thing my hubby said when they found her there "He owes someone some money!"

I think suicide by drowning is so strange, I would never ever see that as an option... it’s seemingly happening a lot lately and it screams foul play to me way more than suicide.

Family of Missing GP Mom Found Dead Express Frustration

The family of a missing Grand Prairie mother whose body was found in a Dallas lake came forward today to release tragic new details into the death of the 26-year-old mother of two.

The family of Weltzin Garcia is also expressing frustration at the way the Grand Prairie Police Department has handled the case.

[...]

Garcia says Dallas police, which joined the investigation, did provide the family new evidence found inside Garcia’s Grand Prairie home this week.

“They told us that they found blood in my sister’s room, all the way to the garage,” said Garcia.

Well the water temp was somewhere around freezing at night that time of year, so slipping into that water would make you pass out in under 15 minutes if the cold shock response doesn't kill you first.
