SAN ANTONIO — BCSO is asking for the public's help in identifying a woman whose skull was found last year.
BCSO released a rendered image of a woman they believe belongs to the skull found at the 7900 block of Serro Medina back in December of 2022.
Sheriff Salazar said it's believed the woman was between the ages of 20 and 35, and that her skull had been laying there for around two years before it was found by a child. He said the skull did not have any signs of trauma.
The image was created by the University of North Texas and a sketch artist from DPS.
Sheriff Salazar said they are not calling this a homicide investigation, yet. However, the investigation revealed a theory that animals may have dug up the remains from nearby gravesite have been ruled out.
“It does not to appear to ever be buried or exhumed so we believe where it was placed, is where we found it," Salazar said.
Missing persons advocate Dottie Laster said it is important to get these images in front of as many people as possible. She said it is likely her family has been searching for her.
“It’s the worst form of torture a family can go through, is to not know," Laster said.
She said sketches like this have helped families in the past and is hopeful in this case, this woman's family will soon have closure.
“Somebody loves her somewhere and if for some reason that’s not the case, I love her, you love her, we want an answer," Laster said.
Officials are asking the public to call BCSO at 210-335-6000 or email BCSOTIPS@BEXAR.ORG for any information.
