A 42-year-old scientist and mother of two was found dead near a creek in Plano, Texas, on Saturday morning after going out for her regular morning run.
Sarmistha Sen got up real early to go out on her morning run and at some point, came across her murderer, according to Plano Police Department public information officer David Tilley.
Less than two hours after she was killed, a witness saw what she thought was a body near the creek and called police. Her death is being classified as a homicide and still being investigated. A person of interest is in custody for a burglary that happened nearby, according to a press release from Plano Police Department.
