Likewise, people who have information that could be useful to clarify the case can share it anonymously with the San Antonio Division of the FBI by calling 210-225-6741 or on its official website.

The US investigation of the crime is being conducted by the FBI in conjunction with the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Investigation (HSI) and other federal partners.
