Missing woman identified: Body found in Azle’s backyard – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

An Azle man is being held on multiple charges, including murder, after the body of a missing woman was found in his backyard.

Shane Breshers is charged with tampering with evidence and murder in connection with the death of Heather Treibly, a woman who has not been seen since May 27, Azle police said in a news release.

Azle police said they launched the investigation after receiving a missing person report about Trebily on June 1.

On Wednesday, June 12, officers responded to a home in the 100 block of Ty Lane after a suspicious incident was reported. After arriving at Bresher’s home, officers say they found an unidentified body in the backyard of the man’s home.

Based on her tattoos, investigators were able to confirm and presumably identify Treibly as the deceased, authorities said.

According to police, Breshers was named the prime suspect and detectives found additional evidence to issue an arrest warrant for the man.

Breshers was arrested the same day Treibly’s body was found for tampering with evidence and was charged with murder the following day.

Booking records show Breshers is being held at the Lon Evans Corrections Center and bail is set at $650,000.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Azle Police at 817-444-3221.
