SAN ANTONIO – A body found along Highway 281 last week was confirmed Sunday by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office as that of a missing San Antonio woman.

Angel Marie Moralez, 21, was found just after 10 a.m., Friday, in a grassy median between the access road and the main lanes of U.S. Highway 281 North near East Nakoma, according to SAPD.

A CLEAR Alert was issued for Moralez on Thursday by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Officials said she was last seen around 10 p.m. in the 400 block of Nassau Drive.

A passerby notified authorities on Friday that a body was found and two days later, the M.E.’s Office confirmed the remains belonged to Moralez.
