A pregnant Texas teenager who disappeared before her scheduled induction is believed to have been found dead with her boyfriend Tuesday in what police called a “possible homicide.”
Savanah Nicole Soto, 18, and Matthew Guerra, 22, are likely the two people found dead in her Kia Optima outside the Colinas at Medical Apartments in San Antonio, according to Police Chief Bill McManus.
“What we’re seeing right now is a very, very disturbing crime scene … Detectives are now looking at this as a possible homicide,” McManus said at a news conference as Soto’s grieving family mourned.
“We believe it’s the missing woman and her boyfriend but we can’t officially confirm that right now until the medical examiner sees the bodies and makes a determination as to their identities.”
McManus offered few details about the deaths — including how the two died or whether Soto’s fully developed fetus survived, although the expectant mother was last seen alive on Friday.
A family member was the first to find the car Tuesday afternoon and notified San Antonio police.
The couple had apparently been dead in the car for three or four days, according to the police chief.
Soto, who is nine months pregnant, has been missing since Friday, a day before she was scheduled to go to the hospital for an induction.

A CLEAR Alert was issued for Soto by the Texas Department of Transportation on Monday morning stating that the teenager may be in danger.
Guerra, who was living with Soto at the time of her disappearance, has also gone off the grid.
The Soto family accused Guerra of “abusing” the young mother-to-be, who was reportedly happy to welcome her first child, on social media.
“I will not let you become one of the statistics of what happens when you have an abusive boyfriend,” Soto’s sister-in-law wrote on Facebook along with several photos of her.

“I will not allow this to be your story. this is not where this ends. your baby should be ur [sic] mama’s beginning your awareness to go for the safety of you and your baby boy. go home and find a way home,” wrote the worried brother.
Guerra’s mother, however, shared her own since-deleted post that read, “I know my son and he would never do anything to hurt him.”
