Authorities in Bexar County, Texas, made a heartbreaking discovery as the bodies of a missing woman and her 3-year-old son were found near Tom Slick Park. The pair, identified as Savannah Samantha Kriger, 32, and Kaiden Kriger, were the subjects of an AMBER Alert and their deaths are being investigated as a possible murder-suicide.
Sheriff Javier Salazar of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office revealed that evidence at the scene suggested gunshots had been fired. A firearm was recovered, and Savannah Kriger is considered a suspect in the case. Sheriff Salazar stated that there are no outstanding suspects in the investigation.
The tragic incident unfolded amidst an ongoing child custody dispute between Kriger and the boy's father. A court hearing regarding the custody matter was scheduled for the same day the bodies were discovered.
The timeline leading up to the grim discovery began when Savannah Kriger left work early on Monday to pick up Kaiden from day care for a medical appointment. Concerns arose when family members were unable to reach her, and her phone's GPS signal was turned off.
The child's father is cooperating with law enforcement as they piece together the events that led to this devastating outcome. The community is left in shock and mourning as details of this tragic incident continue to emerge.
