Pregnant San Antonio teen missing after failing to show up at the hospital​

A pregnant San Antonio 18-year-old girl has been reported missing after her mother says she was scheduled to be induced and failed to show up on Saturday, December 23. A news report by KENS 5 said she was a week past her due date when she was scheduled to be induced.

Gloria Cordova said that she last heard from her daughter Savanah Nicole Soto on Friday, December 22, and is worried about her safety. Cordova said she could not find her daughter at her apartment prior to the scheduled appointment, and reported her daughter missing to the Leon Valley Police Department at the hospital after she never showed up. She said that "something seemed off."

She told KENS 5 that Soto's phone was dead and police could not get ahold of her boyfriend. Cordova identified Soto's boyfriend as Mathew Guerra to MySA. MySA reached out to police to confirm whether a missing persons report has been filed for Guerra.

“Savanah was so, so happy because she was going to be a mommy, it breaks my heart,” Cordova said.

Cordova said her daughter was ready to be a mom. She had the nursey done and had planned on giving birth with her mother in the delivery room.

However, by Saturday afternoon, Cordova could not reach her daughter. She decided to check on her at her apartment.

“I went by there and knocked and knocked and knocked and she wasn’t answering,” Cordova said.

She said she was not home and her phone appeared dead.

“We got to the hospital, they said she wasn’t there,” Cordova said.

She filed a police report with Leon Valley Police. She said something seemed off and they could not get a hold of her boyfriend, either.

“We don’t even know what happened, they said it could be anything,” Cordova said.

This comes at time when Cordova is still grieving the loss of another child.

“It’s hard, it’s like one after another,” Cordova said.

Last year, she said her 15-year-old son was killed. Now, on Christmas Eve, she has no idea where her 18-year-old daughter is.

“It still hurts because what I tell my kids, I’m not complete, I’m not complete and now I don’t have my daughter,” She said.

She is urging anyone with any information to come forward.

"Please come home, no one's going to judge you, no one is going to say nothing," Cordova said. "I just want you to be home."

Okay a reporter says her brother said the family was "tipped off" 'as to the location of the car and that her brother arrived to the scene at the same time as police and brother told reporter she was in the front seat with a baby carrier and he was in the back seat. So now this part too is confirmed by news reporting. All basically that has been said has been.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Same reporter saying brother said both shot behind right ear. So this also comes from news who got it from her brother... If he was there, maybe he took all the video...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Now a reporter says a woman claiming to be Soto's sister-in-law got to the car, opened the door and saw the horrific sight... A bit confusing unless she is married to the brother who arrived at same time as cops or so tit was said. All of these things are repeated from family members or quoted in various news reports.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Police asked if weapon found in car, guy answers doesn't know that yet, haven't been able to move the bodies. LE guy. I don't know date he said this... Surely they know by now...?

 

[GrandmaBear]

These families certainly talk publicly. So there is a cousin on a Tik Tok I gather in a bathrobe saying LE doesn't want to share anything but apparently did tell them there were shell casings in the car. And that her cousin's, Guerrra, had very gruesome injuries. Then same girl on dressed in another one saying she thinks they got set up. Because nothing is making sense to her. The way they left him in the back seat. They left him in the back seat laid out with his pants off...

Okay. WTH?

I don't do SM and this video honestly is almost all news reporting with now some family who talked on SM.

Even hearing all of this, I am not sure there is a "they" as she puts it but can still believe it is a "he".

But who knows.

This is absolutely tragic but I think there are certainly lifestyles perhaps on both sides and the part of both victims even. Very hard to say.

I find his family far less credible than hers. His parents minimize his charges and assaults of her, and so on. And his lifestyle and choices.

There is a rumor or two touched on in this but it is made clear it is rumor and podcaster not sure he buys it, comes from the chat, etc. Almost everything else is from news reports and what family members on both sides have said with not much but a bit from LE. Soo all sourced.

I'm not thru it yet. I am listening to a bit and then doing a ton of chores and then listening and doing more household work, etc.

 

[GrandmaBear]

He is very, very, very tall and was laid out in the back seat. She was in the front seat with car seat on top of her. Front passenger seat.

He was laid out in back seat with pants off and they basically said he was tortured. They didn't want to get into details as they didn't want to move the body.

I am NOT SURE I am buying all this. She said they wouldn't share much but then they shared all this, LE I mean?

There's only ONE scenario where I can see him tortured but her and the child killed too. Well maybe a couple but mainly one. IF EVEN TRUE.

What is this cousin even doing going on SM and sharing this stuff?

 

[GrandmaBear]

They are waiting for the MEs to get there so they can start moving the bodies and seeing what is going on, etc. This is a COUSIN of HIS. Talking as if LE told her this but I am going to guess it came from someone else. Yet it was HER family that was supposedly there, not HIS. So go figure. I can't figure it.

Interesting update.

NEW: Gun, cellphone not found in car where Savanah Soto, boyfriend found, sources say

The News 4 I-Team has uncovered new details about the case of a couple found dead in a vehicle Tuesday afternoon. The details, shedding light on why San Antonio

news4sanantonio.com

Sources familiar with the investigation told us on Wednesday that police did not find a firearm or the cellphone of Savanah Soto's boyfriend, Matthew Guerra, in the vehicle in which the couple was found on Tuesday. Those sources told us that Guerra's body was found in the backseat of the Kia sedan, while Soto was in the front passenger's seat with a child carrier on her lap.

Much of that was in the video I commented on last night. I don't think the cell and gun thing was though. Almost ALL of it came from news BUT the news got it from the family/ies.

I'm on a wait and see on this one but there are several things I don't like that do make me not necessarily find all credible.

Why did his father break down the door fearing the worst? WHAT worst? I mean he said his son never touched her pregnant or the unborn baby, etc. So what was he fearing?

There is definite imo other sh*t in this one and in the family/ies.

The tweet about her violating the court order of no contact is right up there with other remarks his dad has made. Total excuses whether true or not.

Lots of rumors out there, I don't follow SM so I just get bits reading chats during coverage etc. Like about this dad. And him. And that he (bf) was a drug dealer and more.

I find it VERY odd that they all know so much and I find the finding of the car and I guess seeing the bodies and knowing more detail unusual as well. The cousin last night, why are you even going on SM and sharing this stuff? ANd why aren't cops asking them not to? Of course they are probably not the family they are necessarily seeing as a victim's family. Very hard to say. I mean she was talking about him being posed with no pants on. And then they post things but then they take them down, etc.

If this is not a murder suicide I have a theory that doesn't match common ones out there that I've seen. I'll wait to see what shakes out but still find it closer to home and to family.

Family seems overinvolved here and to know a lot more than normal. Someone found the car and them and someone notified family almost before police or something like that.

So they didn't find his cell phone what about hers? Nor a firearm. Well with all the people seeing the car and them even maybe before cops, I guess someone could have removed these things... That's one possibility...

I dno't really know or have a sold on theory but I do think some things were tampered with or something IS known. Candle left burning per dad and diaper bag home but she had a car seat on her... Did the go to get a car seat....? Meant to return home for other things and never got to... Now I'm just questioning, this is not my theory.

Why were they at this complex and what is the connection?

What if someone killed him in rage for his killing of her and the baby?

This is a crazy one and a mess but all I heard last night pretty much comes from family members and them talking on SM etc. and in interviews.

Something is off here. Not sure what.

Still odd she and baby end up dead day to deliver. One thing I never ignore is timing. And that timing is just too much for me to ignore.

I don't know what happened but I'm not believing all family members are truthful and/or innocent/don't /know more. I'm also not sure what all share is fact.

I can entirely understand the too many cooks in a kitchen type of thing. In this kind of stress, when you don't know what happened, and have grief and people down to cousins are trying to find out and comment, etc., it can be very wrong, convoluted and all getting their info from here or there and not all knowing all as the try to get answers and react/respond to it.

BUT this is different than just that imo.

I thinkt someone is covering up/did cover up.

Actually nothing here is really a formed opinion I have. Just kind of talking it out and thinking.

I'll tell you what would be nice would be if ANY of this came from LE rather than his family. Etc. Not much of it does. All news is citing them OR a "source".

 

[GrandmaBear]

So LE said to this Mariah Medina that no gun or phone of HIS were found? Said it directly to her from LE? I think with all the accounts of family there first and one simultaneously with LE we have to wonder about that one.

Also her saying his dad is something wanting to be accountable, that is not what I saw in him at all when I watched some last night. He makes excuses for the abuse, makes it sound mutual and pins it also on her. There are rumors about dad. I won't repeat them as I have no idea if true or b.s.

Personally I still think bf killed gf and baby. Probably.. I think someone else knew, was aware or became aware and killed bf or he killed himself. and then someone else covered it up and took. And if the phone and weapon are really missing that is why. Either it was revenge on him for killing her from someone in he circle OR someone covered up that he did this and they took the items for that reason OR ANOTHER reason.

Of course I know nothing. What I do know is this is a clusterf**k. What is a tragedy seems to be more than that with some messed up sides/families involved, sorry to say.

We know little to NOTHING from LE and that's the problem.

Someone sure filmed them though at the car, etc. And apparently more than one family member saw the victims in the car, one even claiming to have opened the door, etc. WHY is it they all seemed to have known or found them or some did and whoever did did not call LE first before anyone else...

LE needs to say a few things if you ask me. And clear some up. Although just letting this go on and letting them all talk may result in a lot more info and lie versus fact.

I can't even process this sh*t.

None of this makes any sense to me. I guess it could if one talks drugs/gangs/revenge or some such. Id probably have to be more of a social media follower to know what is going on here.

I fail to understand how the family knows so much or saw any of it, got to the car, etc. unless aware of what, who, why, where the car was or could be, etc. and of who was involved.

So someone drives his car with her in passenger seat and him in the back...? Or was there another person in the back with him as well...?

 

[GrandmaBear]

So watched an Ickedmel last night and someone on the FB group was claiming there were arrests. No one however could find any news to confirm it, etc. I googled this morning and all I could find was this. It appears there were two arrests with the types of charges that would fit but it can't be confirmed. Some woman named Sirena made the claim. Not long after the FB group was put on pause. Anyone can also watch ickedmel who covered this too, that's where I became aware of it.

Anyhow it remains to be seen if true that these are or are not factual arrests relating to this case. As of now, I'd call it a rumor.

[RoundPeg]

Good on them for making progress. I'm getting gang related vibes.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Two people of interest. That was said above and in this one too although the headline talks as if it is one. And there are rumors of two related arrests. I stress those are rumors.

I do think though they may have them and releasing this is to gather all the more info and witnesses they can who recognize them, saw this, knew about it or anything else.

Hard to say. It is San Antonio and there could well be other murders, kidnappings and illegal possession or whatever the charge was of a car on top of the other charges. But it all fits as do dates of arrest and the release of this video.

What is it they have? Is it 24 or 48 hours to charge and have an appearance or something like that? We are not quite on the weekend and then it is a holiday but the one was arrested I think the 27th so I'd think something may break today or have to...

It could all be bull but there is enough reason to think it may be true. The criminal acts fit, the timing fits, and it is of two. I don't know but I can only guess too the people can be connected to the victims or this Sirina gal who cooked for the family/vigil wouldn't have been touting it. When people challenged her, she stuck to it. And then they paused the FB page. She was allegedly one of the admins.

I will say this family and their friends are not being silent as would generally be asked for by LE. I know how hard it is in the throes of grief and murder but most do it even though it can't be demanded/isn't law, because they are advised if they want justice, not to share anything or talk. Also, if a family does talk and/or are even possible suspects, LE will stop sharing any info with them. And in his family it has even went so far as to cousins posting info on Tik Tok. Etc. That's not just keeping it to a few family members either.

In our case, I was advised I could share with only TWO family members and that they needed to know that was it too, no further. Not because anyone was a suspect, but the further it goes and how hard it is, far more likely someone will slip at coffee with friends, say something to this friend who says it to another, or share it with more.

I can't even begin to understand this one or how family even opened the car or were there both it seems before and during when LE was.

I can only think variousi people knew who was likely, knew where to look for the car, reported to family, etc.

I just don't know...

I still have a theory that I can't quite let go of that's been adapted from him simply murdering her and then self.

By the way, the one cousin I think said both were shot behind the ear from behind. The latest press conference LE said he had a contact wound to the temple/front side of head, his was not behind the ear so that family member had that wrong. Sounds to me like that means gun wasn't touching her when shot but was touching him when shot.

 

[GrandmaBear]

My theory would be that he killed her but someone else then killed him. Took their own revenge/justice. Just a thought. i won't elaborate as I am probably way off and wrong and don't want to accuse when I really have no reason to think it.

I also have wondered if there isn't a woman involved.

Other than that of course are all the other more common theories of drugs, gangs, his or her involvement in whatever, her family attacking her brother's killer in court and revenge for that from him/his side, etc.

He still could have also shot himself now knowing where his wound was but clearly there are two people in a truck etc. LE thinks connected or at least persons of interest.

I STILL find the timing meaningful, she was due to deliver. It's hard to ignore that. Why THEN? Or were they just up to or doing something before she was to deliver that put them in harm's way? The car seat would seem to indicate they were going to head to hospital but then she left her diaper bag at home and a candle burning. Of course again much of this comes from family or extended family.

I guess the car seat could have been in the car and a perp placed it on top of her to put him or sit with him or lay him in the back seat.

The same TIk Tok cousin who had where the bullet wounds were wrong said his pants were off and he was laid off half naked. Who knows if Ms. Unreliable has that right either.

The entire SM thing and all the putting it all out there by many of them (or are they trying to change the facts) is really different in this case. And the news interviews and so on.

Her family has been vocal but not so much as to case facts, not like his is doing or claiming...

In trying to read between the lines in lives and speaking on SM and lifestyles that I don't quite follow and can't easily identify with,I have some thoughts. It could be the more obvious drugs, payment theft, gangs, revenge or something else.

I think it odd how the car was found and the quiet about who and that. And how family was first or at least same time as LE to the car depending on whose account one listens to or believes.

This is a strange one but maybe it wouldn't be if we knew things only from LE and not from all the other info flying around from family and friends some of which is hard to buy.

I am kind of glad I don't do SM (other than I will hear of it through podcasters, etc.) as it keeps me away from buying into or believing something who knows alleged or posted.

One rumor for instance not verified is that his dad broke in and took money, drugs and some such. There is NO verification of this AT ALL nor of who the source is. But an example of the sh*t going on. Dad say he broke the door down though scared of what he would find. Why were you scared when you didn't think your son was abusing her and this was their home? Scared of WHAT?

All I can figure in this mess out there is that there are things to cover up or worry about. Not even close to the same but it makes me think of the ID college students where two roommates took hours and called friends first to report anything. It isn't that the people necessarily did it but are thinking of selves or covering for loved ones or hiding activities and what LE may find just in the lifestyle or some such.

I don't know.

I am on the side of victims and their families always I try but in this one I don't think we have families or at least this couple that were not involved in things that could have caused this whether drugs, gangs, revenge. And to add to it we have known abuse by him of her. His dad tries to minimize.

And so, I guess in summary of a case that is all over the place, it could be any one of those things as to a reason and cause by any perp/s. It could be close to home, it could be drug or gang rivals, it could be anything.

I keep going back to LE saying what they found was perplexing... My thought on that is family was there first... Retrieved weapon and phone...? I'm not saying it is so but we have both a brother and a sister in law who know a whole lot about what was in the car and the bodies...

I'm going on I realize. A get defused post from a long week. I honestly just don't know but I will say I feel one family is trying to direct this or take focus off of something...

 

[RoundPeg]

Also explains why Matthew was found in the backseat.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Also explains why Matthew was found in the backseat.

LE said his wound was to the front of head and contact wound. This says both were to back of head. I am going to go with LE on that one as there is a whole lot of sh*t out there.

Unless LE is only talking of one wound and diverting fact of another gun shot, Matthew was NOT shot in the back of head.. When asked what he meant LE (police chief or sheriff I believe) put his finger up to side of his head/temple like a gun and that's what happened to Matthew. And if true, this Tweet has incorrect info. There is a whole lot of sh*t out there coming mostly from his family. And very extended family too as in cousins.
