Pregnant San Antonio teen missing after failing to show up at the hospital​

A pregnant San Antonio 18-year-old girl has been reported missing after her mother says she was scheduled to be induced and failed to show up on Saturday, December 23. A news report by KENS 5 said she was a week past her due date when she was scheduled to be induced.

Gloria Cordova said that she last heard from her daughter Savanah Nicole Soto on Friday, December 22, and is worried about her safety. Cordova said she could not find her daughter at her apartment prior to the scheduled appointment, and reported her daughter missing to the Leon Valley Police Department at the hospital after she never showed up. She said that "something seemed off."

She told KENS 5 that Soto's phone was dead and police could not get ahold of her boyfriend. Cordova identified Soto's boyfriend as Mathew Guerra to MySA. MySA reached out to police to confirm whether a missing persons report has been filed for Guerra.

“Savanah was so, so happy because she was going to be a mommy, it breaks my heart,” Cordova said.

Cordova said her daughter was ready to be a mom. She had the nursey done and had planned on giving birth with her mother in the delivery room.

However, by Saturday afternoon, Cordova could not reach her daughter. She decided to check on her at her apartment.

“I went by there and knocked and knocked and knocked and she wasn’t answering,” Cordova said.

She said she was not home and her phone appeared dead.

“We got to the hospital, they said she wasn’t there,” Cordova said.

She filed a police report with Leon Valley Police. She said something seemed off and they could not get a hold of her boyfriend, either.

“We don’t even know what happened, they said it could be anything,” Cordova said.

This comes at time when Cordova is still grieving the loss of another child.

“It’s hard, it’s like one after another,” Cordova said.

Last year, she said her 15-year-old son was killed. Now, on Christmas Eve, she has no idea where her 18-year-old daughter is.

“It still hurts because what I tell my kids, I’m not complete, I’m not complete and now I don’t have my daughter,” She said.

She is urging anyone with any information to come forward.

"Please come home, no one's going to judge you, no one is going to say nothing," Cordova said. "I just want you to be home."

I am only going to point out what I often do on cases. Here is yet another that just sits, lingers, and does not move.... Our system is effed up, it does not moved, cases just languish, what is \really irritating is the people get their paychecks but NO ONE is doing their job/s....

Every single one of us can name so many cases, I can name a ton but am going to just name ONE for now, Megan Boswell. Killed allegedly her daughter Evelyn. That case has lingered and sat forever with no explanation at ALL. Megan has had years in the county jail where she is probably A-OK. County is NOT prison...

I am not going to deny that I am tired, cranky and majorly hurting but people need to start doing their jobs in this country or they need to hire people that do in many arenas. The legal system is one that never even comes close to running efficiently...

I have insurance and I DESERVE to see a doctor an even get a scan when I am seriously injured!

Air traffic controllers should have like TRIPLE back up, it is a SERIOUS job too.

And then people are just so ambivalent about it all...

And it only gets worse...

Okay. Done. I'd probably better be...

Trial date set for suspects accused of helping hide bodies in Savanah Soto/Matthew Guerra killings​

The parents accused of helping their son after he allegedly killed a pregnant San Antonio teen and her boyfriend in December 2023 will soon head to trial.

According to online court documents, the combined jury trial for Myrta Romanos, 47, and Ramon Preciado, 54, is scheduled to get underway March 31, more than 15 months after the bodies of Savanah Soto and Matthew Guerra were found in a car in a San Antonio parking lot.


Ramon Preciado is charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. Romanos is accused of those same crimes, as well as tampering with evidence with intent to impair a human corpse.

A trial date for Chris Preciado, charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence, has not been set.

Family faces civil suit over deaths of Savanah Soto and Matthew Guerra​

The family accused of various roles in the killing and alleged coverup of Savanah Soto and Matthew Guerra, two young parents to be, are now facing a civil suit form the parents of the deceased. Amongst the accusations hurled against him, 19-year-old Christopher Preciado maintains he’s innocent, at least in the civil suit.

On March 27, Gabriel Guerra, father of Matthew Guerra, and Gloria Cordova, mother of Soto, sued Preciado and his parents for their children’s deaths. Preciado, his father Ramon Preciado and stepmother Myrta Romanos all received summons. The younger Preciado appears to be the only person to respond, filling a letter with the Bexar County District Clerk’s Office on April 23 asserting his innocence.

As of Friday, April 25, Preciado’s letter had not been scanned and uploaded to Bexar County records. Thus, MySA could not yet obtain a copy.

The parents who filed the suit say they’ve suffered and will continue to suffer mental anguish, a loss of inheritance, a loss of community estate building, funeral and burial costs, loss of love and support among other damages. As reparation, the two are seeking more than $1 million in damages from the family accused of killing the couple and allegedly covering up the crime.

“On or about December 21, 2023, [Christopher Preciado] callously caused the deaths of Matthew Guerra and Savanah Soto by fatally shooting them,” the lawsuit reads before going on to accuse Preciado’s parents of helping cover up the scene. “At the time of her death, Savanah Soto was pregnant with her and Matthew’s only child, Fabian Noel Guerra, who also tragically lost his life.”

The accusations outlined in the civil suit closely, if not exactly, mirror the felony charges against the junior and senior Preciado and Romanos. Christopher Preciado is charged with felony murder, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. His father and stepmother are also facing several felony charges including tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse.

Early on in April, a special committee met to determine whether or not prosecutors would pursue the death penalty against the younger Preciado. Ultimately, it was decided Preciado would not face death himself despite pleas from Soto’s and Guerra’s family.

Okay i covered a bit lawsuits in Pike tonight I think. I agree at times and disagree at times.

Not sure what I think here.

I'm never ever anti victim but there are admittedly some whose lifestyles put them more at risk.

This is one of those. On the other hand, the murdering family is quite evil.

If it's just for money and $$$ I don't necessarily agree but if it is to get info or evidence or reimburse for what it takes to bury, attend trial and all of that, loss of income, that is understandable depending on the case.

Been awhile since looking at this one, but the victims IF true were selling drugs, acting gangsta online and so on. Not sure what the entire story is as to why killed but not pure innocents.

I am victim first even if doing such or other things but now the family is suing and I'm not sure what I think of it, so I guess like said in some others, will see how it shakes out...

I both agree and disagree with monetary lawsuits depending... Don't see any hint here they plan on doing some foundation or something in their names, and i doubt they lost a million dollars... I didn't read the links, just the posts, not up to it, just to be clear. So may have missed something.

It does cost just to attend hearings and trials without a doubt. Been there, so has all of my family. Used up leave, vacation days, you name it, traveled.

I don't know. Guess another day I just need to know more about it and maybe read the links.

Sadder than heck about dad, mom, baby. Murderers, other family is bad. However, they were selling drugs were they not?? Again victim first, but not exactly living a clean life expecting a firstborn.
