I can't seem to find anything on her aside from the recent news articles. I'm not the best sleuther though. There is an interesting comment from an RB on this article. He gives a profile of who he thinks they type of perp may be.

Thanks Treelights for joining on and the other users as well. Please help as much as you can if you think you have any ideas/info that could help.

I'm wondering, did she drive from Tomball to Houston and that's where the foul play occurred

OR

was she driven to Houston from Tomball AFTER Foul play occurred?

If she was going to visit friends, I think that she probably drove herself to Houston.

Yup looks like its her. Shows her as having all male friends on the bottom left. Some concern me. I'm hoping she wasn't Internet dating and trusted the wrong person.

Thank you! This is great info

Good Morning All! Looks like lisser found some info last night. I was so tired that I didn't stay long on here last night, but I will look for clues today. I did not find much yesterday, except for what was reported in the media.

 

[Treelights]

I was hoping the links to the news sources would update. There's not much out there for Dora that I have found so far.

Nope I haven't been able to find a missing report on her. Her grandfather said she had been missing 2 weeks and they were worried. That's all Incan find as of yet.

" The cause of death has not been released and a Harris County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said that no suspects are under arrest and that deputies are still pursuing leads in the case. She said that detectives with the homicide unit are currently handling the case."

Killer sought in 2013 slaying of woman, 28
By Dale Lezon Updated 12:02 pm, Friday, October 9, 2015

Dora Lee Hughes was 28

[...]
Investigators have tracked several leads but so far have been unable to identity a suspect, said Sgt. James Dousay, of the HCSO a Homicide Unit.

Dousay said it appeared that Hughes had been brutally killed inside the SUV where the vehicle was found, though he did not reveal how she died because the investigation is ongoing and her killer is on the loose.

Hughes, Dousay said, frequented the area near where her body was discovered not far from FM 1960 and some of her friends lived in the vicinity. She had recently gone to a few pawn shops in the area. He said Hughes may have known her killer, who could likely may have frequented the same neighborhood.
