AMBER Alert for 3-year-old San Antonio boy canceled, sheriff says it's now
homicide investigation

AMBER Alert for 3-year-old San Antonio boy canceled, sheriff says it's now
homicide investigation 00:26

SAN ANTONIO – The search for a 3-year-old boy and his mother has ended and is
now a homicide investigation.

An AMBER Alert was issued early Tuesday morning for Kaiden Kriger, who was last
seen Monday afternoon when his mother, 32-year-old Savannah Kriger, picked him
up from daycare. 

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office says Savannah Kriger left work early to pick
up Kaiden Kriger for a doctor's appointment. 

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said they received a call at 6:30 p.m.
Monday for a welfare check that took them to the house Savannah Kriger and
Kaiden Kriger lived at – there were concerns from family members who couldn't
get in contact with Savannah Kriger.

When officers arrived, there was no vehicle in the driveway and they were unable
to get into the house. Later in the evening, they were able to make contact with
a family member who got them in the house. Salazar said there were things they
found that led them to believe there was a cause for concern for the mother and
child.



The car they were seen leaving the daycare in was found abandoned at Tom Slick
Park Monday night.

Salazar said officers searched for the mother and child throughout the night and
were able to get phone pings in the park. They resumed searching this morning.

During the Tuesday morning search, Salazar said officers found two bodies in a
ditch behind the park, "operating on the premise that it's Savannah and Kaiden
that were found." He said there was evidence of gunshots that may have been
fired and a firearm was recovered at the scene.

Salazar said there has been an ongoing custody battle regarding Kaiden Kriger
and there was supposed to be a custody hearing soon, likely today. He said the
father is cooperating and helping police.



"[Savannah's] who we're considering as the suspect," Salazar said. "At this
point, we don't believe there's another suspect."

BCSO isn't ruling out that this was a murder-suicide. 

Salazar said there was no cause for concern from Savannah Kriger's employer
after she left work early.
