LEON VALLEY, Texas -- A pregnant San Antonio-area 18-year-old who prompted a Clear Alert after she disappeared was believed to have been found dead.

"It's a very perplexing crime scene," San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said. "Detectives (are) looking at it as a possible murder but we don't know for sure."

He said investigators have not yet been able to move the bodies and are not sure whether a weapon is in the car.

McManus said the bodies are believed to have been there for three or four days.

A Clear Alert is issued for missing, kidnapped or abducted adults who are in immediate danger. It stands for Coordinated Law Enforcement Adult Rescue.
