Services set for woman found in river last week

Funeral services are now scheduled for a Cameron woman found dead in the San Gabriel River last week.

Services for 55-year-old Christi Michelle Coufal will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18, at Marek Burns Laywell Funeral Home in Cameron with burial at a later date. 

Milam County Sheriff Mike Clore said there are no updates in the case.

Clore said deputies recovered the body of Coufal on Dec. 5 from the river. Deputies had received a report she was missing about 8 a.m. that day and began investigating when the body was discovered in the San Gabriel River.

Clore said the death is being investigated as a homicide until evidence determines otherwise. 

Her son, Colton Coufal, was arrested Dec. 8 on a bond surrender unrelated to the death. He is currently being held in the Milam County Jail according to arrest reports.

Memorials can be made to 3P Cowboy Church Youth, care of Buckholts State Bank, Box 711, Cameron, TX 76520. Marek Burns Laywell Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
