AMBER Alert: Bodies believed to be missing 3-year-old boy, mom found near San Antonio: BCSO
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - An AMBER Alert has now become a homicide investigation after two bodies, believed to be those of a missing 3-year-old boy and his mother, were found in the San Antonio area.
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office says 32-year-old Savannah Samantha Kriger left work early Monday to pick up her son, 3-year-old Kaiden Kriger, from daycare and take him to a doctor's appointment.
They were last seen leaving Kaiden's daycare on Monday around 2 p.m. in a white 2023 Lincoln Aviator that was later found abandoned at Tom Slick Park off State Highway 151 E.
Tuesday morning, law enforcement found two bodies in a ditch on the back side of the park. Bexar County Sheriff's Deputies say the bodies are believed to be those of Savannah and Kaiden.
Deputies say there is evidence that there may have been gunshots fired, and this may have been a murder-suicide. They say they will process the scene thoroughly to make sure that's the case, but they are not looking for any additional suspects at this time.
Deputies say Savannah and the boy's father had been in an ongoing custody dispute and there was a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
