Body thought to be of man missing for three months found

Human remains were found Friday in far Southeast Bexar County not far from where a man missing since late July was last seen, officials said.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said they believe the remains likely belong to 38-year-old Curtis Perry.

A game warden searching for evidence poachers on foot discovered the remains, Salazar said, near the 9000 block of South Foster Road. He called BCSO and thought the remains might belong to Perry.

“We’re cautiously optimistic that these will be his remains,” Salazar said. “But again we’re going to have to get with the medical examiner’s office and have them look at dental records to tell us for sure, if this is him.”

Perry was last seen on July 29 near the 9400 block of South Foster Road. The Philadelphia man was in Houston visiting relatives and rented a car to meet people in San Antonio.

It is believed he was lured to Foster Road to be robbed by the suspects.

Officials have been searching for Perry since he was reported missing. A tip lfrom a potential suspect in the case led deputies to search a home in the 300 block of Holmgreen Road.

The sheriff said the search ended after the suspect said he gave investigators false information.

Investigators questioned the tipster’s information after noticing inconsistencies in his story.
