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.<\/p>\n

When a deputy arrived, he was met by two young women \u2014 one who lives in the home and another who lives elsewhere \u2014 who reported Poche as missing. <\/p>\n

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said the initial information given to the deputy was that the man had experienced what was described as a \u201cnight terror\u201d and then left the residence, or they believed he left at some point.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Salazar said there is evidence of trauma and evidence that someone tried to clean up what investigators are treating as a crime scene. \u201cI suffice it to say, it was more most likely a violent violent attack on this on whomever this this decedent is.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, Margaret Brown, 30, and her husband, Christopher Henson, 29, were arrested on charges of tampering with evidence<\/a>. Brown was identified as the caller who reported Poche missing. <\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the case to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BEXAR COUNTY, Texas \u2014 The man whose body was found wrapped in plastic over the weekend after being…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-391384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","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\/391384","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=391384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
