Authorities in Texas are seeking a person of interest in the murder of a 17-year-old San Antonio girl whose body was found in a drainage ditch Wednesday hours after she left for a night walk with a friend.
The family of the slain teen confronted the friend, who was the last person to see the victim alive, but he reportedly said he did not know where she went.
Police began the search for the missing teen before her unclothed body was discovered in a drainage ditch under a bridge.
“HELP US ID THIS PERSON OF INTEREST: On March 12, 2024, Officers were called to the 7600 block of Dell Oak, after a 17-year-old woman was reported missing by her family,” the police department posted on X along with surveillance pictures of the person of interest.
“Upon arrival, officers searched the drainage ditch and found the body of the woman deceased.”
It remains unclear whether the person of interest is the woman’s friend.
