The body of 81-year-old Doris Phillips was discovered by the Ellis County Sheriff’s office late Friday night at a location near Bardwell, off of Farm-to-Market 984.
The sheriff’s office has been processing the scene throughout the night and will hold a press conference later this afternoon.
The family has been notified.
Officials were notified by family members about the missing woman after the Reagor Springs resident could not be reached at her home on Tuesday, July 25 and July 26.
Phillips lived by herself on Old Church Road between Ennis and Waxahachie, near the Texas Motorplex.

It seems my idea about increased advertising dollars at our state’s public schools wasn’t very popular.
But here’s another idea, from former State Comptroller John Sharp.
Sharp recommends negotiating with Oklahoma and Louisanna to have them give the State of Texas, 5 percent of their casino revenues – considering the billions of Texas dollars that go to both states in their casinos.
In exchange for the 5 percent of revenue, Texas will promise to never open casinos in our state.
