Samuel Charon is charged with capital murder and tampering with a corpse after Dramiga was killed in September 2024 while walking on a trail. <\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO \u2014 The man accused of murdering Stacey Dramiga has been indicted on multiple charges by a Bexar County grand jury.<\/p>\n

More than a year after she disappeared while walking on an east-side trail<\/a>, Bexar County officials were able to identify Samuel Charon as the suspect now accused of sexually assaulting and murdering 63-year-old Dramiga. He was arrested in the fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Definitely a savage, savage crime,” Sheriff Javier Salazar said in October, after Charon was taken into custody. “One of the more heinous that I’ve been associated with.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The breakthrough came on April 9<\/a> of last year, when Charon was booked into the Bexar County jail on a charge of criminal mischief and his DNA taken. It eventually was entered into CODIS, a national database that collects DNA profiles of criminals, and authorities were notified that the DNA sample they had for months finally had a match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Jan. 6, a Bexar County grand jury indicted Charon for capital murder and tampering with evidence-human corpse, online records show. He is now awaiting a psychological evaluation, which is currently scheduled for Jan. 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samuel Charon is charged with capital murder and tampering with a corpse after Dramiga was killed in September…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":515702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-515701","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115893995034651417","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
