Bones being examined by Bexar County medical examiner

Family searches in south side field after some of their father's remains were discovered after four years.

Lorena Magdaleno and her family are searching for answers in the disappearance of her father from four years ago.

Tomas Magdaleno's family says he went for a walk and never came back. In April, detectives found his skull. The family finally had a sense of closure, but they wanted to know where the skull was found.

A detective escorted them to a brushy area near Loop 410 and Presa.

"Our search is going to continue because this is our father," said Lorena.

After hours of searching, Lorena claims they found several items they believe belong to her father, including a piece of his jaw.

"When they first told us they found his skull, it was a little bit of relief," Lorena said. "Now, it's like anger, it's like so many different emotions."

SAPD and the Bexar County medical examiner were both called to the scene. They refused to answer any questions, saying that this is an ongoing investigation.
