Multiple agencies are searching for 7-month-old Ozana Cisneros after her mother was located inside a vacant South Side house.
SAN ANTONIO, TX — The mother of a missing 7-month-old girl was found alive inside a vacant South Side house, but authorities continued searching for the baby as questions remained about skeletal remains discovered nearby.
San Antonio police found 19-year-old Maximina Cisneros on Friday, July 10, during an operation near Mission Concepción and Confluence Park. Police said she was alive and in stable condition. Her daughter, Ozana Cisneros, remained missing after authorities searched the house and surrounding area with help from state and federal agencies.
Ozana was last confirmed seen at about 6 p.m. June 10 in the 330 block of Roosevelt Avenue, south of downtown San Antonio, according to police and the Texas Department of Public Safety. An AMBER Alert was issued July 9, nearly a month after that reported sighting.
The alert described Ozana as about 2 feet tall and weighing approximately 20 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes. Authorities initially said the baby was believed to be with her mother, who was being sought in connection with the disappearance.
Police concentrated their search in and around the 200 block of Parkview Drive after receiving information connected to the case. Officers entered a vacant house and found Maximina Cisneros, but the baby was not with her. Officials had not publicly explained how long the mother had been at the property or what she told investigators after she was located.
The San Antonio Police Department was joined in the search by the FBI, Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Rangers. Search teams examined the property and nearby parkland along the San Antonio River, an area that includes trails, brush and drainage channels.
Late Friday, investigators reported finding skeletal remains near Concepción Park while searching the area. Police said they had not determined whether the remains were human or whether they were connected to Ozana’s disappearance. Authorities did not announce an identification or other findings from the examination.
The discovery occurred only hours after Maximina Cisneros was found, but police cautioned against assuming the remains were related to the missing-child investigation. The condition and origin of the remains had not been established publicly, and further examination was required.
The case began with involvement from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, according to local reports. Authorities had not released details about the agency’s involvement, the circumstances under which Ozana disappeared or why the AMBER Alert was issued weeks after she was last confirmed seen.
No criminal charge connected to Ozana’s disappearance had been publicly announced against her mother as of Monday. Police also had not identified another suspect or released evidence showing what happened to the child after June 10.
The AMBER Alert remained focused on finding Ozana. Police asked anyone with information about the baby’s location or recent movements to contact authorities immediately. Investigators had not announced when additional information about the search or the skeletal remains would be released.
