Investigators with the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search and dig in northeast San Angelo on Wednesday in connection with a missing persons case from 2005.
Authorities told our sister station, KLST-TV, a body was buried in a blue tarp at the site of the former San Angelo Raceway (now know as the Santa Rosa Sports Arena).
The search area is just off of Farm-to-Market Road 2105, near US Highway 277.
A blue tarp was found at the site, about 40 inches below the surface, authorities told KLST-TV. As of noon, authorities did not specify if they had found any human remains.
