TX Warrant Says Child Likely Witnessed Andre McDonald Burning Mother Andreen’s Body

SAN ANTONIO, TX. (THECOUNT) — A warrant is providing horrifying detail about the evidence the Sheriff’s Office has collected since the disappearance of a local businesswoman Andreen McDonald.

A murder warrant for the arrest of her husband, Andre McDonald, states that he had cuts and injuries on his hands the day of his March arrest and that male clothing, collected immediately after Andreen McDonald’s disappearance, was discovered to have Andreen and Andre McDonald’s blood on it.

The warrant also notes that the couple’s young daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, had essentially reenacted how her mother’s body was disposed.

While McDonald was first charged in March with tampering with evidence in connection with his wife’s disappearance, he was arrested again Saturday on a charge of murder after investigators found his wife’s remains on a property in north Bexar County. He’s being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

Deputies were called out to the 600 block of Specht Road around 7:30 p.m. Thursday after bones and a skull were found about 20 yards from the road on a 50-acre private property. Sheriff Javier Salazar said during a press conference Saturday that through dental records, the remains were definitively identified by the medical examiner as Andreen McDonald, reports KSAT.

The remains were discovered July 11 by a friend of the landowner, who was asked to remove two cow skulls that were on the 50-acre property. When the man went to the area where one cow skull was known to be, he instead found a human skull and bones mixed in with the cow bones and alerted authorities.
