The Air Force is investigating the death of a man with no military connection whose partial skeletal remains were found at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston last month, the service wrote in a press release on Monday.
A Massachusetts native, Juan Santiago had moved to San Antonio in June 2020 and went missing shortly afterwards, family members said. He was 37 and “looking for a better future†when he moved, NBC 10 Boston reported.
Santiago’s remains were found on Dec. 27 near Salado Creek in the northeast part of the base. The Air Force did not say in the press release how non-military remains showed up on the gated grounds of the base, which hosts the headquarters for U.S. Army North, U.S. Army South, the Army Medical Command and the Army Medical Department Center and School. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is “further looking into the circumstances of his death,†the service wrote.
