Couple Charged After Plastic‑Wrapped Body Found in San Antonio Closet

Authorities arrested two residents on evidence‑tampering charges pending the medical examiner's identification of the victim.

Overview

  • A Bexar County sheriff's deputy searching a far West Side home found a man's body wrapped in plastic inside a closet during a missing‑person response on Sunday.
  • Sheriff Javier Salazar said investigators found signs of trauma and blood at the scene, and deputies initially took two women and one man into custody for questioning.
  • Christopher Boyd Henson and Margaret Kaye Brown, both 30, were later charged with tampering with physical evidence and booked into the Bexar County Jail on $100,000 bond each.
  • Occupants told deputies the missing tenant had left after a reported "night terror," and investigators say evidence suggests someone tried to clean the scene before officers arrived.
  • The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office is working to identify the victim and to establish the official cause and manner of death, and further charges could follow based on its findings.
