Identified! TX - Bexar Co, UnkRaceFem, 13-20, Small, Found in Ditch, Apr 2017 - Bonny Simmons

Gonzalez says on April 30th of last year a stranded motorist waiting for a ride along the 8400 block of South W.W. White Rd. noticed a foul smell.

After walking around a wooded area a man discovered a decomposing body in a ditch.
"The body was so badly decomposed they were unable to tell if it was a male or a female, " Gonzalez went on to say.
After the remains were discovered they were sent to the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office for identification.
Gonzalez says the remains were then sent to the University of North Texas Health Science Center Human ID lab.

The lab has experience dealing with bones or skeletal remains. "Unfortunately UNT gave us information back that they were not able to identify the body."

However, Gonzalez said investigators were able to determine the remains belong to a small female who may be in her teens or even 20 years old.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office has reached out to a forensic artist to reconstruct a three dimensional face of the victim.

"Using the skull and layering clay to develop what this person may have looked like, they also rely on other professionals like anthropologist."

Gonzalez says this case is being treated as a homicide investigation. Deputies are hoping to have a composite of the victim's face within the next couple of months.

I came across the case of Ava Grace Baldwin and her photo today and I had instant chills as I remembered this remains being found in the same county as she is missing from and their both uncanny resemblance.

I know it is not probably her as she was only 9 years old when she went missing on September 2015 and remains are estimated to be at least 14. Remains were though skeletal and estimated to be there for some time.

Ava is apparently missing in parental abduction by her mother, however mother's family set up FB page looking for both of them as they have not heard from either of them.

Just to add, Ava was not only from Bexter County but also from San Antonio where this remains were found...
