On Sunday, October 27th, a Kleberg County deputy found what appeared to be human remains around 6:45 p.m. in a shallow grave on Padre Island.
Given nightfall, law enforcement began investigating the site on Monday, at which point they recovered the decomposed bodies of a male and a female.
Yesterday, the Nueces Medical Examiner positively confirmed their identities and ruled their deaths to be homicides. Rest in peace.
James Butler's sister says that LE told her they have footage of the vehicles being driven across the Mexican border, but that hasn't been confirmed by LE and no video has been released.
Officials are working to identify persons of interest and are attempting to find the victims’ truck and RV trailer.
The sheriff’s office says it cannot release all details of the active investigation at this time but will do so at an appropriate time.
