A man who answered the door when deputies went to the woman's home was arrested on an unrelated charge. Investigators said it appears something was dragged into the water in her backyard.
Murder charges could be filed as crews resume searching for the body of a missing grandmother in Liberty County.
Investigators say they discovered a bloody knife and bloodstains in her home, but there has been no sign of her body, which they believe could be somewhere around Horseshoe Lake. Horseshoe Lake backs up to 57-year-old Sheryl Ann Siddall's home. Family members said they haven't heard from her since Sept. 12.
Captain David Meyers with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office said after boat crews with sonar equipment, cadaver dogs, and game wardens searched the area on Tuesday, investigators will now focus on going door to door and looking for surveillance video.Investigators are zeroing in on one suspect in Siddall's disappearance -- 52-year-old Donald Lee Hassler. Deputies said he and the victim became friends two years ago.
Officials have been pretty open about the fact that they believe Siddall is dead, despite her body not yet being found.
