TX - Stephanie Garcia, 34, body found burned, San Antonio, 22 Jan 2017 *Arrest*

[Lucy's mom]

Identifying this woman might be quite difficult.

A San Antonio man who allegedly strangled a prostitute and let his friend have sex with her dead body before burning it has been charged with first-degree murder. Police said the corpse, which was found in a detached garage in the 300 block of West Harding Boulevard, was so badly burned that they have not been able to identify the woman and the only remains they have is the tattoo on her back.

She has been described as White and of Hispanic ethnicity, between the ages of 18 and 35, with brown hair and breast implants.

Did the killers give any other info? Surly they got a good look at her and could help with info.

If you go to the San Antonio police Facebook site (there's a link in the article), and scroll down, there's a photo of the tattoo. WARNING: ACTUAL UNRETOUCHED PHOTO. GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING!

She should be reported by now and I don't see anything new.

Possible she isn't. considering her line of work, its possible she lived the kind of life style where her disappearing for awhile isn't unheard of. Hopefully if she is reported the police will take it seriously and see the connection

ok what is that tattoo? it looks like writing on the top. maybe "devo"?

was the "acquaintance" ever ID'd, or was this guy just lying because HE had post mortem sex w her?

 

[cvaldez1975]

"devotion" w praying hands?

I thought it might be a dragon wing, but I was getting kind of upset looking at it. I'll go back later.

Good call on praying hands. I see the same thing. It looks very similar to a tattoo that my fiance has on his arm of praying hands.

Do you all see VL on the left center? To me, it looks like part of the V crosses on top of the top part of the L. The tattoo VL means Vida Loca, which is "my crazy life."

IMOO.

I think you guys are right. Seems like an odd placement for a religious tattoo though... Maybe irony?

Does flesh shrink when it burns at all? It looks a lot like a flash tramp stamp, IMO, but squished. I guess I don't see any letters or words? I can kind of see the praying hands, though.

I've been told it does.

LE might know what it says. Or could ask the perps i think. assuming they are co operating.

I tried searching backpage in case she advertised there but unfortunately it didn't go back that far. Not sure how to search for older pages. Craigslist went back that far but pictures are pretty much forbidden there.

You could try the wayback machine

This article was updated last night 3/3.

Police say a still-unidentified woman who was strangled and burned by a San Antonio man might be tied to Dallas because her breast implants were traced to an area clinic.

San Antonio police say there is a chance the victim had the procedure done in Dallas between 2005 and 2007.

 

[tatertot]

If she did indeed get implants between 2005 and 2007, i.e. ten to twelve years ago, there is no way she's toward the lower end (18) of the age range. From what I've read, most doctors prefer their parents are physically done maturing before getting implants. I'm inclined to think she was no younger than 28.

 

[watergirl62]

Yeah, good point! The tat also looks pretty elaborate for an 18yo. Tat 'coverage' usually (but not always) increases with age.
