Major update in body of missing woman, 19, found dumped in plastic bin on driveway after anonymous call
A MAJOR update has been revealed after a missing 19-year-old woman was found dumped in a plastic bin on a driveway thanks to tip given to the police.
Gloria Martinez was reported missing by her father on July 19 after being last seen in her apartment in San Antonio, Texas, that night.

The next morning, a crime scene was reported inside her apartment, but the victim was no where to be found.
Police then responded to a call that they received around 2pm that day. The person on the other end said they saw a dead body in an empty lot.
When police arrived to the scene, they found a dead body.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner confirmed it was Martinez’s body and that she had been stabbed.
The woman was originally put inside a gray plastic bin and left on the driveway of an abandoned home, according to the police.
When investigators looked at surveillance video from July 19 and July 20, they reportedly found Frank Rangel, 42, his 18-year-old son, Adam Rangel, and his daughter Alysson Paredes, 25, moving the victim’s body in the plastic bin from the driveway to an empty lot, police said.
Adam was allegedly seen on video struggling with the bin and then leaving it in the driveway on July 19.
Early the next morning, Frank and Paredes were allegedly caught on video helping Adam load the bin into a pickup truck before he drove it to the lot where police found the body.

The bin was confirmed to be the same one where police found the missing woman’s body.
Other people were involved in disposing of the body, according to court documents, but they have not been identified to the public.
However, no other arrests have been made as of yet.
Frank, Adam and Paredes were all charged with tampering or concealing a corpse on Monday, but no one so far has been charged with the murder of Martinez.
No pleas from those charged have been made public at this time.
The case remains under investigation.

I live in a state where groceries are expensive but I save a bunch of money by rarely shopping at all – here’s how
An ALASKAN woman has revealed she saves a bunch of money by rarely going grocery shopping.
Mercedes O’Leary, of Homer, Alaska, lives approximately a five-hour drive from the closest Costco in the state.

She recently took to the blogging platform Medium to share that she only goes grocery shopping unless she really needs something.
“Anytime I’m in Anchorage, the big city in Alaska and a five-hour drive from where I live, I stock up on as much as possible at Costco,” Mercedes explains. “I freeze bread, milk, and lunch meats. I pour 25 lbs of flour into buckets.”
Mercedes also urges her children to refrain from eating any “special snacks” too fast as she only takes trips to Costco every few months.
“I don’t go to the grocery store until I absolutely have to,” she adds.
“I try to eat through what we have and put off going to the grocery store until we need something important, like coffee creamer, toilet paper, or lettuce,” Mercedes says. “Everything else can usually wait.”
And for those times Mercedes actually makes the lengthy drive to Cosco, she spends at least $200.
Within the days leading up to the shopping trip, Mercedes says she looks for what hasn’t been eaten.
“I find a bag of frozen broccoli in the bottom of the freezer that I pair with the fresh fish we caught. I take the leftover broccoli and cut it up finely and put it in couscous the next night,” the mom says.
“I constantly re-envision last night’s dinner into tonight’s dinner. Or I simply microwave leftovers.”
In Mercedes’ eyes, when her family doesn’t eat their leftovers, they are wasting their mone and the earth’s resources.
“We’re also wasting MY TIME,” she concludes.
Another way she saves money is by fishing for food. Earlier this summer, Mercedes went salmon fishing and cleaned the fish themselves afterward.
She writes: “My husband gutted and filleted, I removed the fish collars from the heads to barbecue for dinner that night, and my oldest daughter used a spoon to scrape any remaining meat from the ribs to make into salmon burgers.
“(My younger daughter busied herself with feeding seagulls the scraps when no one was looking.)
“We try not to waste anything from the fish.”
Mercedes and her family eat salmon all winter long until they get tired of eating it and learn new ways to prepare it, like in pot pie, enchiladas, or chowder.
Meanwhile, a popular beverage sold at Costco is urgently being recalled over fears it could make you sick.
And a Costco expert has shared deals on healthy foods that are much cheaper than at the grocery store.
