Police investigators said she and Michael Lewis Arce, 30, were involved in an argument. Both left that location before police arrived. Later that day, Cases' father called police and reported that his daughter was missing and that it was unusual for her not to contact him.

Her body was found "In an area around the brush line, next to the railroad tracks, a disturbed area was located, a mound," said police. "But it was different from the surrounding ground."

Arce was found later and arrested on a charge of assault on a family member, but they are now questioning him in connection with Cases' death.

Michael Lewis Arce, 32, went before 25th Judicial District Judge William D. Old III, who gave him the life sentence without parole for the murder of 30-year-old Vivian Cases around 9 p.m. on Monday at the Guadalupe County Justice Center.

“We’re very pleased with the verdict. I believed the victim’s family was pleased with the verdict and it came after a long trial and a lot of expertise and collaboration between the Seguin Police Department and our office,” Guadalupe County Assistant Attorney Jennifer Smith said.

Smith said it took the jury about four hours to render the verdict on Monday.
