Young mother found stabbed to death on bank of Denton Creek

A 20-year-old mother from Denton County was found stabbed to death outside Ponder, and investigators are looking for her killer.

Jade Harris was last seen Oct. 25 and was reported missing Sunday by her family. A few hours later, her body was found on the bank of Denton Creek, near FM2449.

Her mother, Sorena Herrington, told KTVT-TV (Channel 11) that although no one in the family had heard from her, they didn’t realize she was missing until her husband, John Harris, found her car abandoned on the side of a road in Carrollton last Friday.

Herrington told Channel 11 that she has suspicions about who killed her daughter.

“It’s somebody she knows — period,” Herrington told the station. “That’s all I know, and that’s where I’m keeping my mind or trying to.”
