Human remains found in East Kerr County earlier this week were identified Friday as those of a local woman who has been missing since November 2015. The body of Angelica Jimenez, a 34-year-old mother of four, was discovered at about 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning off Bartell Road near Interstate 10.
Investigators identified Jimenez after obtaining her dental records from Mexico, authorities said. It was noted she had metal braces on her upper and lower teeth when her remains were discovered. "Our Investigators along with SAPD are now working together to develop a timeline of her activities leading up to the date she went missing and to also determine whether or not foul play exists, Sheriff Rusty Hierholzer said in a statement.
Jimenez was last seen Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving, in the 8000 block of Oakdell Way, the San Antonio Police Department reported initially. Police investigators said her Jeep was photographed passing through an Eagle Pass checkpoint, heading toward Eagle Pass, at 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
In early December, the Jeep was found at a grocery store parking lot on the South Side of San Antonio. Authorities said when they found Jimenezs remains, she was wearing a black Chick-fil-A uniform polo-type shirt with a red pin stripe. Investigators believe her body was there for about eight months due to the extent of the decomposition, the sheriff said.
Jimenezs remains, mostly skeletal, were transported to Texas State Universitys forensic anthropology lab to determine if her death was a homicide. The Kerr County sheriffs office has not released the ruling as to whether or not Jimenezs death was a homicide.
