An Air Force Major from Texas has been charged in connection with the disappearance of his wife 29-year-old Andreen Nicole, whom authorities believe has been killed.
Andre McDonald, 40, was booked on charges of tampering with evidence after he tore up a receipt for the purchase of a shovel, an ax, and gasoline along with other material that investigators believe he intended to use to dispose of her body.
'I love my daughter. I love my family. That's it,' said McDonald on Sunday afternoon as he as he was led away by deputies.
Air Force Major Andre McDonald, 40, is in custody charged over the disappearance of his wife, Andreen Nicole McDonald, 29,
The Air Force Major was taken into custody on Saturday evening after police found evidence regarding his wife's disappearance
Bexar County Sheriff's Office deputies had already detained him on Saturday for a mental evaluation by the Air Force according to MySA.
It wasn't until Sunday, however, that McDonald was called a suspect after there were indications a homicide had occurred and he was not cooperating with the search to find her.
'We found some things really quite disturbing,' Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said as police conducted a second search of the house.
'The evidence consisted of a shovel, an ax, some heavy duty trash bags, some work gloves, and two five-gallon containers of gasoline.' A portable burn barrel was also found.
Andre McDonald posted about how much he loved his wife on Facebook in months gone by
Andreen Nicole McDonald, 29, was reported missing Friday after she didn't show up to the gym or to her workplace. Her husband, left, was taken into custody on Saturday
All the items that were found in the home led Salazar to believe that they were used to dispose of a body.
A receipt was found in McDonald's home which showed how items had been bought earlier that day.
'There was quite a bit of effort that went into destroying that receipt to try to prevent us seeing where it was purchased and when it was purchased,' Salazar said. 'That led us to obtain a warrant of arrest for Andre McDonald for the charge of tampering with evidence.
'We believe that Andreen McDonald is no longer living,' Salazar said who went onto say that it was a missing person's case marked by 'very suspicious circumstances.'
Salazar went on to say that 'it's pretty evident' that the couple's six-year-old daughter, who is on the autism spectrum and mostly nonverbal, witnessed her mother's death.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said as police conducted a search of the house they came across some disturbing evidence including items that may have been used to murder
Andreen McDonald ran a local business and was reported missing on Friday by friends who say she never showed up at the gym or work.
'There is literally no sign of her anywhere and her husband had declined to speak to deputies who initially questioned him Friday, asserting his rights and retaining an attorney', Salazar said at the press conference.
At one point, police were considering the case to be a missing person's case, but they now do not believe that Audreen Nicole is alive any longer
On Saturday, authorities began to watch the McDonalds' home and followed Andre to a gun shop where he purchased a weapon and a significant amount of ammunition.
Salazar said that McDonald was in such a hurry, he left behind the firearm he had just purchased and his ID.
'At that point, we were not certain if there were some suicidal thoughts going through the subject's mind,' Salazar said on Saturday. 'Deputies made contact with him outside the residence, took him into custody, detained him at that point due to a possible mental health issue.'
'He's a highly intelligent person, and I think he knows exactly what he's doing,' Salazar said. 'I think that quite frankly, he probably thinks he's smarter than anybody in law enforcement, but he's behind bars right now.'
Investigators with the Sheriff's Office spent Sunday combing through fields in the Wilderness Oak area off of U.S. Highway 281, north of San Antonio with cadaver dogs, searching for McDonald's body.
Salazar said deputies are focused on that area, which is close to the couple's home, because forensic evidence indicates the pair were there at some point.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
