An arrest was made Tuesday in connection with the killing of a Howard County woman who had been missing since September 2024.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said 31-year-old Andreas Perches was arrested in connection with the death of Amanda Bates, 39, who was last seen in Howard County.
Officials said the arrest was the result of a coordinated effort between the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Howard County Sheriff’s Office.

Perches is facing charges of first-degree felony murder and failure to meet sex offender registration requirements, a third-degree felony. He is being held at Howard County Jail on a bond of $1 million.

Who was Amanda Bates?​

Amanda Lynn Bates was reportedly last seen in the Big Spring area on Sept. 12, 2024.
Recently, in March, both agencies released a statement looking to the public for any information about Bates’ disappearance. Authorities had stated that her whereabouts were unknown and there was reason to be concerned about her welfare.
The case remains under investigation by the DPS and the Howard County Sheriff’s Office.

The POI is a registered sex offender. I wonder what their relationship was. Someone she knew? A stranger? They've not released much in the way of details.

The man who murdered her was charged with assault with a deadly weaon in Howard County on June 2, 2022. The booking numbers are numerically sequential (meaning they were both booked into the system by the same LE clerk/official at the same time). The charge was also dismissed.

I do not personally think that is a concidence.
