Bionce Amaya Cortez: Where and how 20-year-old Texas woman remains was discovered

The remains of a 20-year-old Texas woman identified as Bionce Amaya Cortez has been discorved in Mexico, more than a week after she sent her mother a final, cryptic message and disappeared from the same region where three other women from the Lone Star State went missing earlier this year.

The remains of Mission resident Bionce Amaya Cortez were found Friday in the community of El Verde in the northeastern state of Nuevo León, ValleyCentral.com reported.

The cause of death was determined to be extensive injuries to the head, cervical spinal cord and thorax, according to the local attorney general.

Cortez’s half-brother identified the body, which was dumped on a farm close to where she had been staying during the Easter trip to visit relatives, the US Sun reported.

DNA tests are still pending, according to the outlet.

The shocking discovery was made just hours after the woman’s family urged people to take part in a march in the main square of the municipality of China.

Authorities have issued arrest warrants and searched the homes of the last people who saw her alive, officials said.
