Body of Missing Texas Mother Found

Update 7/31/22: The New York Post reports that security camera footage from a jewelry store shows Powell's car pull up to the parking spot and she never got out of the car. Security footage shows her being along in the car when she pulled up.

No official cause of death has been determined yet but the Bexar County Medical Examiner says the cause may be related to hyperthermia or overheating.

Records show that temps reached 100 degrees on July 5, the day she was last seen by the Ring doorbell camera.

Powell's mother, Claudia Mobley, is still searching for answers as to why it took two and a half weeks for a security guard to approach the vehicle. Signs say the mall is under 24/7 security while business owners say mall security guards are on duty from 10a-midnight.

The family still has lot's of unanswered questions.
