Sysobjects returning duplicate tables

Question

I have a store procedure that is using a tmp table.   When I run 
SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'ztmp_TRL_Summary' AND TYPE = 'U'
I get 2 tables with 2 different creation dates.
I run this at the beginning  of the SP 
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'ztmp_TRL_Summary' AND TYPE = 'U')
BEGIN
DROP TABLE ztmp_TRL_Summary
END
There are other SP's that create this table, but I don't think  they are currently being used. I think they are previous versions.  But is it possible to create the same table? 
Thanks!

Rudy,
As Ashwin mentioned its really hard to find who is doing what unless you've a mechanism to do so.
Did you get the time of creation of the objects? You can try to see by querying the default trace. 
Change the database name and and time parameter in the below query to see if you find anything.
SELECT TE.name ,
v.subclass_name ,
DB_NAME(t.DatabaseId) AS DBName ,
T.NTDomainName ,
t.NTUserName ,
t.HostName ,
t.ApplicationName ,
t.LoginName ,
t.Duration ,
t.StartTime ,
t.ObjectName ,
CASE t.ObjectType
WHEN 8277 THEN '(User-defined) Table'
ELSE 'Hmmm???'
END AS ObjectType
FROM [fn_trace_gettable](CONVERT(VARCHAR(150), ( SELECT TOP 1
value
FROM [fn_trace_getinfo](NULL)
WHERE [property] = 2
)), DEFAULT) T
JOIN sys.trace_events TE ON T.EventClass = TE.trace_event_id
JOIN sys.trace_subclass_values v ON v.trace_event_id = TE.trace_event_id
AND v.subclass_value = t.EventSubClass
WHERE TE.name IN ( 'Object:Created' )
-- filter statistics created by SQL server
AND t.ObjectType NOT IN ( 21587 )
-- filter tempdb objects
AND DatabaseID <> 2 and DatabaseID=DB_ID('DSSP')
-- get only events in the past 24 hours
AND StartTime > DATEADD(HH, -24, GETDATE())
ORDER BY t.StartTime DESC ;
