SAN ANTONIO (AP) — An Air Force major based in San Antonio has been charged with murder after authorities found the remains of his wife whom he reported missing in March.
Forty-year-old Andre McDonald was being held Monday at the Bexar County jail. Bail was set at $2 million.
Sheriff’s officials said they found the body of 29-year-old Andreen McDonald on Thursday east of Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis.
Andre McDonald reported his wife missing March 1 and was indicted on a charge of tampering with or fabricating evidence after authorities determined he bought a shovel, an ax, gasoline and a “burn barrel” a day later.
Court records show investigators also found blood and hair in the couple’s bathroom.
Jail records do not list an attorney who could speak on McDonald’s behalf.
