HOUSTON, TX (AP) -- HOUSTON (AP) - Authorities are searching for three suspects

after the body of a 35-year-old missing Houston teacher was found

in his abandoned SUV which had been towed to a police impound lot.

The Houston Chronicle reports that officials believe Heladio

Rojas Perales may have been killed at a friend's

Wharton home last weekend, then dumped with his vehicle in a rural

section of Fort Bend County.

Galena Park Police Chief Robert Pruett says Perales' family

reported him missing at 4 a.m. Thursday.

A landowner contacted Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office on

Tuesday about the abandoned vehicle which was towed Thursday

morning.

A supervisor then discovered the body.

Galena Park police and the Texas Rangers connected the body to a

crime scene in Wharton.
