BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — The man whose body was found wrapped in plastic over the weekend after being reported missing has been identified.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as 29-year-old Michael Anthony Poche on Wednesday. The medical examiner said Poche died from multiple sharp force injuries of the head, neck, torso, and bilateral upper extremities due to homicide.

Around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, deputies responded to a home near the corner of Fort Leonard and Yturria Ranch, inside the Weston Oaks neighborhood.
When a deputy arrived, he was met by two young women — one who lives in the home and another who lives elsewhere — who reported Poche as missing.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said the initial information given to the deputy was that the man had experienced what was described as a “night terror” and then left the residence, or they believed he left at some point.
As deputies began taking information for a missing-person report, Salazar said they conducted a cursory sweep of the home and the deputy began finding evidence of blood inside. With the homeowner and another woman present, the deputy continued searching and eventually looked into a closet in one of the bedrooms, where he found Poche’s body.
Salazar said there is evidence of trauma and evidence that someone tried to clean up what investigators are treating as a crime scene. “I suffice it to say, it was more most likely a violent violent attack on this on whomever this this decedent is.”
On Monday, Margaret Brown, 30, and her husband, Christopher Henson, 29, were arrested on charges of tampering with evidence. Brown was identified as the caller who reported Poche missing.
The investigation remains ongoing. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the case to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
