AMBER ALERT CANCELED FOR MISSING 3-YEAR-OLD AND HIS MOTHER AFTER BODIES FOUND

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Gray News) - Texas authorities say the search for a
3-year-old boy and his mother has turned into a homicide investigation after
they were found dead.

An Amber Alert was issued after Kaiden Kriger and his 32-year-old mother
Savannah Kriger went missing Monday afternoon.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said Savannah Kriger left work early that day
to pick up Kaiden from day care for a doctor’s appointment.

Savannah Kriger was last seen leaving her son’s day care center at about 2 p.m.
driving a white 2023 Lincoln Aviator but authorities said the vehicle was later
found abandoned at Tom Slick Park off State Highway 151.



According to Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, his office received a call
Monday night for a welfare check that took them to the Kriger home.

Family members reportedly told authorities that they were not able to get in
contact with Savannah Kriger.

Salazar said investigators found items that led them to believe there was a
cause for concern for the missing mother and child.

According to Salazar, officers searched for Kaiden and his mother throughout the
night until they located two bodies in a ditch behind the park Tuesday morning.



Salazar said they are “operating on the premise that it is Savannah and the
child who were found.” He said there was evidence of gunshots that may have been
fired and a gun was recovered at the scene.

“At this point, she [Savannah Kriger] is who we’re considering as the suspect,”
Salazar said. “We don’t believe any other suspects are outstanding.”

Salazar said Kaiden’s father has been cooperating and helping police.

According to authorities, there had been an ongoing custody battle regarding
Kaiden, including a custody hearing that was scheduled for Tuesday.

Salazar said the situation may have been a murder-suicide, but their
investigation remains ongoing.
