They\u2019ve lost their mother and were informed of that pretty close to Mother\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Davis says she got the news from the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office last Saturday, two days after investigators found Proctor\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">She described her sister as a loving person, a mother of two children, a U.S. Navy veteran, and an entrepreneur. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">BCSO said in a statement that Proctor was found dead in the back of her white van, parked at an apartment complex on Cinnamon Creek Drive near Fredericksburg Road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Proctor and her van were both part of a missing persons report filed the same day she was found, on May 7, by someone at her home in southeast Bexar County.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Proctor was last seen on April 27, the sheriff\u2019s office confirmed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cNo real information has been given to us. I understand it\u2019s an active investigation, and so I\u2019m sure that\u2019s part of the reason,\u201d Davis said during the interview Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">BCSO homicide detectives were back at the apartment complex on Friday, searching a wooded area nearby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Julius Hampton, who lives in the complex, noticed the commotion from his balcony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cOnce you see a caravan of vehicles pulling up to an area, you kind of feel like something is going on,\u201d Hampton said. \u201cIt\u2019s intriguing, very concerning, because there are a lot of little kids out here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Hampton said he only learned about Proctor\u2019s death after seeing detectives arrive for their follow-up search.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">He missed seeing the initial investigation last week, when her body was found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Another neighbor spoke to KSAT 12 News off-camera Friday, pointing out the parking space where the van was found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">That neighbor said she had noticed the van parked in the same spot for several days, and only later noticed an odor coming from it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">BCSO investigators say they are awaiting additional autopsy results to determine exactly how Proctor died.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">In the meantime, they\u2019ve released grainy photos of a \u201cperson of interest,\u201d who appears to be a man with his head and face concealed by clothing.<\/p>\n<p>BCSO released grainy images from a security camera of a &#8220;person of interest&#8221; in the case.

I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s any justification for her life to be taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">BCSO asks anyone who may recognize the man in the photos or have additional information about Proctor\u2019s death to contact them at (210) 335-6000 or bcsotips@bexar.org.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Read more:<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by KSAT &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO \u2013 It has been nearly a week since Kirsten Davis learned of the death of her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[4755,294,4667,4471,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-295334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-bcso","tag-crime","tag-crime-fighters","tag-northwest-side","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
