Bexar County authorities are asking the public for help after Krystle Janay Proctor, 37, was reported missing and later found dead in a van on the Northwest Side along Cinnamon Creek Drive near Fredericksburg Road. The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says she was reported missing by a relative, who said Proctor had been gone since about April 27, and the discovery came after an investigation into that disappearance. Officials are seeking tips about a person of interest, a white Ford E250 van with Texas plate TXR4158, and anyone who might have seen unusual activity in the area between April 27 and May 5.
The sheriff’s office says Proctor was reported missing on May 7, after family members told investigators she had last been seen at the end of April. Authorities emphasize the gap between the last known sighting and the report, and they are treating the case seriously as they try to piece together movements and contacts in that window. Local residents in the Cinnamon Creek Drive and Fredericksburg Road area say the news has shaken neighbors and drawn attention to the investigation.
On Thursday, deputies found Proctor deceased in the back of a van parked in the 8800 block of Cinnamon Creek Drive, according to law enforcement statements. The discovery prompted detectives to canvass the neighborhood for cameras, eyewitnesses and any scrap of information that could explain how she came to be there. Officials are examining the scene and following leads, and they have asked anyone with footage or memories from that stretch of road to come forward.
The sheriff’s office is asking the public to be on the lookout for a person described by investigators as “seen to be possibly associated” with Proctor, wearing a green long-sleeve shirt, blue pants and a red head covering. That clothing description is specific and may help jog someone’s memory if they think they saw a matching individual around the end of April or in early May. Anyone who recognizes that description or remembers a person acting strangely near Cinnamon Creek Drive should contact authorities immediately.
Law enforcement also wants information about a white Ford E250 van bearing Texas license plate TXR4158, which could be tied to Proctor’s movements or the scene where she was found. A vehicle like that stands out in a residential neighborhood, and deputies say even a brief sighting could be crucial. If you noted the van parked overnight, driving slowly through neighborhoods, or stopping at unusual times, your tip might be the missing link investigators need.
If you have any information or think you might have seen something suspicious between April 27 and May 5, the sheriff’s office urges you to call 210-335-6000 or email [email protected] and report what you know. Even small details that seem unimportant could help detectives build a timeline and identify potential witnesses or suspects. Law enforcement says tips can be submitted anonymously and that community cooperation has helped solve cases in the past, so they are asking neighbors to check phone footage, doorbell cams and dashcams.
Investigators continue to process evidence from the van and the surrounding area, working to establish a sequence of events that led to Proctor’s death, and they have not released details about a cause of death pending further examination. Detectives are coordinating with medical examiners and forensic teams to ensure the investigation follows every lead and that any criminal activity is thoroughly explored. Officials stress that the case remains active, that resources are assigned to it, and that tips from the public are central to moving forward.
Community members near Fredericksburg Road say the sheriff’s presence and the flurry of questions have made people more alert to their surroundings, and neighbors report checking cameras and reaching out to friends for any recollection of a white van in the area. Those informal canvases can turn up small but vital facts, like an unfamiliar vehicle, a face in a neighborhood clip, or someone asking odd questions. If you harbor a memory that seems trivial, pass it along to investigators; the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is building a picture and every piece helps.
