A 29-year old Brazos County man is in custody, charged a double homicide discovered Friday.

29-year-old Danny Carlos Diaz is in the Brazos County Jail—charged with the murders of 30-year old Vanessa Gonzales and 26-year old Ashley Garcia, whose bodies were found at two different crime scenes, 20 miles apart.

Authorities say a trucker spotted Gonzales’ body on the Weedon Loop east of Harvey Road and Highway 30, around 7:30 Friday morning.  Deputies believe Gonzales was pushed out of the car and then run over by Diaz.

Diaz then allegedly went to Garcia’s home, and the two are believed to have left in another vehicle. It's unknown whether Garcia was forced to go with Diaz or went on her own.

The two were last seen spotted in the area of FM 2818 and Sandy Point Road, not far from Lake Bryan.

When deputies got to the vehicle it was empty.  Diaz was found nearby and arrested after a short foot pursuit.

Deputies then discovered Garcia's body Friday afternoon at a home on Pleasant Hill Road near Lake Bryan.

Texas Rangers are assisting with the investigation.
