SAN ANTONIO -- Authorities are trying to identify a body found buried in the back yard of a home on the city's south side.
Police said a tip led them to a home Saturday in the 200 block of Cantrell Street. After about an eight-hour search, human remains were uncovered.
Two canine search teams were called in to help confirm whether there was any truth behind the tip.
"Both dogs gave an alert, and then the detectives took over from there," said Matthew McDermott of K-9 Search Austin.
Police discovered a badly decomposed body buried and wrapped in unidentified material.
They won't say whether the body is that of a man or a woman. They said they would have to wait for an autopsy in order to identify the person.
"The information that we developed, we believe that it's a missing person from over five years," said officer Joe Rios of the San Antonio Police Department.
"Through the information we developed, we do believe the victim met with foul play, so if all plays out correctly, we are investigating this as a homicide," Rios said .
The couple living in the home said they always walk in the back yard and never knew there was a body buried there. They said it scares them, but said it's not a surprise.
"We hear stuff in the backyard at night, but we didn't know who it was," said resident Daniel Delgado. "But we see shadows and when we come out with the flashlight, they'll take off running through the back yard."
