Investigators were working another case when they found the other body. During last Friday night's torrential rain, Travis County investigators got a call from a witness along Spicewood Springs Road. That person saw a grey sedan get swept away by flood water.

Search teams looked for it on Saturday and found an empty pickup truck. Then Tuesday, they discovered the body of a man in his 40's, 100 yards away from where they found the truck. He was tangled in brush and trees.They believe the man may have lived in the area .

On Wednesday, Investigators will continue looking for the grey sedan that was originally reported. These two cases are unrelated.
