SAN ANTONIO – Human remains were found inside a duffel bag by people feeding animals on a property in southwest Bexar County, according to Sheriff Javier Salazar.
Shortly before 11 a.m. on Thursday, BCSO received a call for a suspicious package in a field.
Investigators are unsure if the remains are those of a man or woman, or how long the body was in the field.
Salazar said BCSO was applying for a search warrant to finish processing the scene.
The sheriff said the property owners are out of town but are cooperating with the investigation.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
