She had suffered severe burns and had Calavera’s identification on her when cops detained her, according to the arrest affidavit.
Police determined the burning vehicle belonged to the victim, Goynes’ common-law husband.
The welfare check that led to the discovery of Calavera’s body was prompted by the victim’s father, who initially went to his son’s home in Bexar County to locate him but was unsuccessful, according to the arrest records.
