Garland, Texas: Unidentified Woman’s Body Recovered from Lake Ray Hubbard
Authorities in Garland, Texas, have recovered the body of an unidentified woman from Lake Ray Hubbard. The discovery was made on Tuesday morning, November 25, 2025, near the 4900 block of Scenic Drive, close to Interstate 30 and Highway 66, just east of Dalrock.
Dallas Fire-Rescue crews responded to a 911 call at approximately 10:09 a.m. reporting a body floating in the lake. Technical rescue teams from multiple agencies, including Dallas police and fire departments, worked together to retrieve the body from the water. The woman remains unidentified, and no further details about the incident have been released. It is currently unclear whether foul play is suspected.
Lake Ray Hubbard, spanning about 22,000 acres, is located northeast of Dallas and extends throughout Dallas, Kaufman, Rockwall, and Collin counties. This area has been the site of previous incidents involving unidentified bodies. For instance, in 1998, the body of an African-American woman was discovered in the lake. She was found wearing a black teddy, dark blue Adidas jogging pants with white stripes, gray socks, and black Adidas athletic shoes, size 7½. The cause of death was determined to be multiple gunshot wounds. Despite extensive efforts, the woman’s identity remained unknown for several decades. In September 2025, DNA testing identified her as Penny J. Gunn, a 35-year-old woman at the time of her death. The case remains under investigation, and authorities continue to seek information regarding her death.
As investigations into the recent discovery continue, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in identifying the woman and determining the circumstances surrounding her death.
