Man arrested, accused of killing woman whose body was found in Grapevine Lake last week

Authorities have made an arrest in connection to the woman’s body found in Grapevine Lake last week, police said.

Around 2:30 p.m. Thursday, a 911 caller reported a possible body floating near a spillway of the lake, police had said. Officers later found the body, which was recovered by emergency crews. The woman was identified the following day as Jennifer Anne Holmes, 36, of Lewisville, according to police.

Police had said Holmes’ body had “signs of trauma inconsistent with drowning.” In a news release Sunday, police said Holmes had been shot multiple times.

During their investigation, authorities found “key evidence” pointing to Daniel Burch, 35, being responsible for Holmes’ death, police said. He was arrested Saturday, and was at a Tarrant County jail Sunday, online records showed. His bail is $150,000 and it is unclear if he has an attorney.

“Some of the evidence in this case was discovered more than a mile away from where the victim’s body was recovered,” the release stated.
