Overview
- Officials identified the body found in a field near her San Antonio home as the 19-year-old after discovery on December 30, with a firearm recovered nearby.
- The medical examiner ruled the death a suicide caused by a gunshot, and forensic testing is evaluating whether the weapon matches a previously reported missing firearm.
- She was last seen on December 24 at 6:58 a.m. near her car, which stayed in the driveway while her phone was found switched off at home.
- Sheriff Javier Salazar said the location had been checked earlier and that dense brush likely delayed the discovery.
- Hundreds of volunteers joined local authorities and the FBI in the search, which included reviewing a dashcam video of a woman a few blocks from the residence matching her description.
