Missing pregnant teen, boyfriend believed to be found dead in possible murder: Police
A pregnant teenager, who disappeared before she was scheduled to be induced, and her boyfriend are believed to have been found dead Tuesday following a days-long search, police said.
The bodies of two people believed to be Savanah Nicole Soto, 18, and her boyfriend were found in a vehicle in San Antonio, San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus told reporters Tuesday evening, calling the case "very, very perplexing."
"Detectives right now are looking at this as a possible murder, but we don't know for sure," McManus said.
The two bodies were found in the boyfriend's vehicle and are believed to have been there for three to four days, McManus said. Their identities will be officially confirmed by the medical examiner, but they are believed to be Soto and her boyfriend, he said.
The chief was unable to confirm if the female victim was pregnant and said that would also be left to the medical examiner to determine.
The vehicle was found on the 5900 block of Danny Kaye Drive in northwest San Antonio, police said. McManus did not know who located it.
Soto was last seen Friday afternoon in Leon Valley, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The agency issued aCLEAR Alert-- used to help law enforcement locate someone in imminent danger or whose disappearance is involuntary -- for Soto on Monday.
The pregnant teen had passed her delivery date which "caused significant concern among her family members after missing an essential medical appointment," the Leon Valley Police Department said in apress releaseearlier on Tuesday.
Soto's mother, Gloria Cordova, told San Antonio ABC affiliateKSATthat her daughter was scheduled to be induced at a hospital this past Saturday.
"When I called her all morning she wasn't answering, was going straight to voicemail," Cordova told the station. "We went to the hospital anyways. She was a no-show, and that's when I called the cops."
Cordova said her daughter's home was clean and had been prepped for the baby's arrival.
"This is not like her," Cordova told KSAT. "She was so excited to have this baby. The house was already baby-ready."
"There's no reason why she would just get up and go off and do that," she added.
Cordova said the family is already reeling after her son, Ethan, died last year. The 15-year-old wasfatally shotat his home in San Antonio, police said.
"[Savanah] knows what I went through with Ethan, and I know she doesn't want me to go through this again," the mother told KSAT.
Amid the search for her daughter, Cordova said she did not know where the father of the baby was either.
"I just want her home," Cordova said. "I'm worried about the baby, if she's even had the baby, if she's in danger."
The Leon Valley Police Department said Tuesday morning that it was actively investigating Soto's disappearance and seeking additional witnesses and information.
