A missing and pregnant Texas teen and her boyfriend have not been heard from in nearly five days, and family members say she never showed for a scheduled labor induction at an area hospital.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, the Texas Department of Public Safety issued a CLEAR Alert for 18-year-old Savanah Soto, who hasn’t been seen since December 22. She was last seen around 2 p.m. in the 6000 block of Grissom Road in Leon Valley. She left in a grey 2013 Kia Optima with temporary tag number, 4289D57.
On Tuesday afternoon, Leon Valley police announced that Soto’s boyfriend Matthew Guerra, has also been declared missing. Guerra’s family initially reached out to the San Antonio police. The case was then transferred to the jurisdiction of Leon Valley.
“Savanah was so, so happy because she was going to be a mommy. It breaks my heart,” Savanah’s mother, Gloria Cordova, said, according to KENS 5.
The distraught mother said Soto had the nursery set up for the baby and planned to have Cordova in the delivery room with her. When Cordova knocked on her apartment door to check up on her Saturday afternoon, no one answered.
“I went by there and knocked and knocked and knocked and she wasn’t answering,” Cordova said. “We got to the hospital. They said she wasn’t there.”
Cordova said that she couldn’t locate Guerra and Soto’s phone was dead.
“We don’t even know what happened. They said it could be anything,” Cordova said.
Cordova added that she lost her 15-year-old son, Ethan Soto, in 2022, explaining that her daughter would never willingly put her through unnecessary worry.
“She knows what I went through with Ethan and I know she wouldn’t want me to go through this again. Come home I just want her to come home I just want her to call me and told me she’s OK,” Cordova said.
Soto is described as standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 115 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes.
According to TDPS, a CLEAR Alert is issued to help law enforcement find “missing, kidnapped or abducted adults or adults who are in immediate danger of injury or death, as well as aid in locating any potential suspects.”
Anyone with information on Soto’s whereabouts should contact the Leon Valley Police Department at 210-812-3259.
