San Antonio – Bexar County Sheriff’s Office investigators are working to identify a woman whose body was discovered early Tuesday morning along an I-35 access road in the county’s southwest quadrant. The discovery was made by utility workers from Von Ormy around 6 a.m. near the 13,800 block of I-35 and Benton City Road.
Details of the discovery
The woman appears to be in her late 20s or early 30s, according to Sheriff Javier Salazar. He noted that the scene showed no obvious signs of trauma, suggesting the cause of death is not immediately apparent. Investigators believe the victim had been at the location only a few hours before she was found.
Possible connection to past incidents
Salazar warned that the stretch of road has historically been used to discard bodies linked to smuggling operations. While the sheriff declined to confirm any direct link to that pattern in this case, the remark underscores the area’s reputation as a potential dumping ground for illicit activity.
Ongoing investigation
Law enforcement officials have not released a name for the deceased, and they are actively seeking information from the public that could help identify her and determine how she came to be in that location. The sheriff’s office is urging anyone with knowledge of the incident or who may have seen a vehicle or individual acting suspiciously in the vicinity to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
Updates will be provided as the investigation progresses. Residents are encouraged to stay tuned to local media outlets, including 550 KTSA and FM 107.1, for further developments.
