SAN ANTONIO – Schertz police arrested a man on suspicion of murder in connection with the discovery of a woman's body at her apartment in San Antonio.
Derek Casey Conley, 28, was taken into custody Sunday morning after authorities linked Conley to the death of Lisa Meisel.
Meisel's death is under investigation by four local agencies, including the Texas Rangers.
The investigation was initiated after Comal County authorities contacted San Antonio police Sunday morning asking that officers conduct a welfare check at Meisel's apartment at the Arbor Hill Apartments. San Antonio police said officers found Meisel's body during the welfare check.
Comal County authorities also contacted Schertz police about a possible homicide in the 700 block of Hollow Ridge, which is in Schertz city limits and where Conley was taken into custody. However, Meisel's body was discovered in her apartment in the 200 block of Heimer Road.
Schertz police linked Meisel's death to the Schertz home and served a warrant at the home Sunday, arresting Conley.
Clent Jackson, who lives across the street from Conley, said investigators are looking at video from his doorbell camera.
"They asked for the footage of that, so they could see whose been going in and out of that driveway over there," he said.
Jackson said he saw police activity and a tow truck remove a vehicle from Conley's driveway.
"Since I hae been here, the streets are very quiet, neigbhors are friendly, not much activity as far as noise or anything like that," he said.
The investigation is being led by Schertz police with the help of the Texas Rangers, San Antonio police and Comal County authorities. Police have not released information on how each agency is involved or how the case first came to the attention of authorities in Comal County.
Conley is behind bars in lieu of $1 million bond.
