WHAT HAPPENED TO BIANCA JIMENEZ — AND DOES BEXAR COUNTY EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS?
Bianca Victoria Jimenez was 28 years old.
She was from San Antonio. She graduated from Southwest High School. She worked as a hairstylist. She loved art and music. She rode her bike around Southtown. Her family described her as the youngest of four sisters, a daughter, an aunt, and a woman who had recently started a new chapter of her life.
In July 2014, Bianca disappeared from her apartment in the 300 block of Adams Street in the King William area.
She did not take her car keys, purse, or bicycle.
SAPD records now show she also left behind her phone, identification, cash, and credit cards. Inside the apartment, there was broken glass and blood.
Weeks later, on August 12, 2014, boys fishing near the San Antonio River found Bianca’s badly decomposed body near Espada and Southton roads. The Medical Examiner could not determine how she died. But Bexar County treated the case as a homicide.
Then, like so many cases involving women whose names never become household names, Bianca’s case faded from public view.
CVJ has been trying to reconstruct the record.
We started with public reporting. Bianca had recently ended a long relationship. Public reporting identified her ex-boyfriend by first name: Patrick. Contemporaneous public comments supplied the last name, Partch.
Records reviewed by CVJ were then independently shown to link Bianca Jimenez and Patrick Partch to the same 2002 Southwest High School yearbook records, consistent with a long-term relationship.
We also reviewed the account of James Enger, the man Bianca reportedly went out with the night before she disappeared. He told reporters they had drinks, went dancing, and returned to Bianca’s apartment around 1:30 a.m. According to his account, a man came out of Bianca’s apartment and attacked him. He said he could not clearly see the attacker, but believed Bianca knew him because she called him by name and told him to stop.
That was the public version.
Now we have SAPD records.
On June 7, 2026, CVJ requested SAPD’s basic information report, CAD/call sheet, responding officer information, and any record showing whether Bianca’s missing-person case was later transferred, reclassified, or connected to another case number. SAPD produced records for SAPD14156275 and CAD event SAPD-2014-0686848.
That report identifies Patrick Bradley Partch as the ex-boyfriend involved in the confrontation.
According to SAPD’s missing-person report, Bianca’s employer contacted her mother after Bianca failed to show up for work and did not call in.
Her mother tried to reach Bianca, could not, then went to Bianca’s apartment. She found the front door window broken, Bianca’s keys and cell phone outside, blood on the floor inside, and Bianca gone.
A witness told SAPD that Bianca and Partch had a fight after Partch came in and found Bianca with another man. The report says Bianca was thrown into a neighbor’s door, the neighbor called the police, the front door glass broke, and Partch, Bianca, and the new boyfriend were cut. The fight reportedly moved back and forth from the entryway to the front yard during a downpour.
When police arrived, both men were reportedly driving away in separate cars. Bianca was seen on the front porch. Then, according to SAPD, she went back inside, locked the door to keep officers out, and fled out the back door.
SAPD wrote that Bianca fled “to avoid contact with the police” and had not been seen or heard from since.
That line may explain part of what happened that night. Court records reviewed by CVJ show Bianca had prior DWI cases, including a 2013 DWI second offense that resulted in deferred adjudication probation that appears to have still been active when she disappeared. A woman on DWI probation, possibly drinking, involved in a bloody disturbance, may have feared police contact even if she was the person in danger.
But that explanation only goes so far.
SAPD’s own report says Bianca left behind her keys, phone, identification, cash, and credit cards. SAPD’s own report says there was blood in the apartment. SAPD’s own report says two men were leaving as police arrived. SAPD’s own report says Bianca vanished after a violent confrontation.
That is not a clean runaway fact pattern.
So CVJ asked for more.
We requested basic records for any SAPD incident responses to 323 Adams Street from July 17 through July 19, 2014. SAPD produced additional CAD records.
At about 2:16 a.m. on July 18, 2014, SAPD created incident SAPD-2014-0684921. The problem was listed as “Assault In Progress.”
The CAD comment says a caller heard "a male beating a female" outside the location. Officers responded.
The call was later closed as a disturbance/miscellaneous after officers apparently did not locate anyone.
Bianca was later reported missing after not being seen since around 2 a.m.
So the public record now shows an assault-in-progress call at roughly the same time Bianca was last known to be at or near the apartment.
Later that day, Bianca’s mother finds broken glass, blood, Bianca’s phone, Bianca’s keys, and no Bianca.
Then SAPD writes the missing-person report.
Then, the next day, there is another response.
On July 19, 2014, SAPD generated incident SAPD-2014-0690603, classified as Missing Person/Runaway. The CAD comment says Bianca was missing, that she “ran out of the back door when officers arrived,” and that the caller asked officers to walk through the alley toward the river because they thought something happened to Bianca and she may be in that area. Officers searched the south river bank at Crofton/Constance Trail and closed the call with no further action.
The day after Bianca vanished, someone specifically asked officers to search toward the river because they believed something may have happened to her.
Weeks later, Bianca’s body was found near the San Antonio River.
Now here is where Bexar County enters the story.
CVJ requested basic public information and warrant numbers related to the BCSO homicide or suspicious death case involving Bianca Victoria Jimenez.
Bexar County’s response was bizarre.
Instead of addressing the death investigation, body recovery, homicide, or suspicious-death investigation, Bexar County asked for a specific date or date range of arrest, address, or report number. Then it responded that it found two arrest details in the system — SAPD DWI arrests — and did not find any other arrests by BCSO.
But CVJ was not asking for Bianca’s arrest records.
We were asking for BCSO records connected to the investigation after Bianca’s body was found.
So we clarified. We gave Bexar County the name, DOB, SAPD report number, SAPD CAD event number, missing-person report date, apartment address, body recovery date, recovery location near the San Antonio River / Espada and Southton area, and the related person listed in SAPD records: Patrick Bradley Partch.
We are still pending a response from that office.
That interaction matters because Bexar County is taking a completely different posture on the Medical Examiner side.
CVJ also requested the publicly releasable Medical Examiner records for Bianca: autopsy report, toxicology report, investigative report, identification records, case summary records, diagrams, forms, addenda, and related ME case documents.
Bexar County refused to release any responsive records.
The county said it is relying on OR2015-04975 and will not release the records because the law, facts, or circumstances supposedly have not changed.
That 2015 Attorney General ruling is important.
The ruling involved the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office receiving a request for case number 14-1630. The Medical Examiner sought to withhold the records under section 552.108. The Attorney General noted the ME’s office had missed its procedural deadline, which normally creates a presumption that the records are public. But the ruling still allowed withholding because BCSO objected to release and represented that the information related to an active criminal investigation.
In plain English:
Bexar County is still using a 2015 ruling to withhold Bianca’s Medical Examiner file because BCSO said this was an active criminal investigation.
But when CVJ asked BCSO for basic records tied to that same death investigation, BCSO responded as if it had no clue what case we were even talking about, much less an active homicide case they were supposedly investigating.
That is the problem.
If Bianca Jimenez’s death is still an active BCSO criminal investigation, then BCSO should be able to identify the basic case information, the case number, the offense report, the body recovery record, the homicide/suspicious-death record, or at least the records sufficient to show what file the county is claiming remains active.
If BCSO cannot even recognize the case from Bianca’s name, DOB, SAPD case number, SAPD CAD number, date of disappearance, date of body recovery, recovery location, and the related person identified in SAPD records, that badly undercuts the idea that this is being actively worked on in any meaningful way.
And if it is not being actively worked, then Bexar County should not still be hiding the Medical Examiner file behind a decade-old active-investigation ruling.
Bianca Jimenez was not a rumor. She was not a Reddit mystery. She was not just a missing woman in an old file.
She was a daughter, sister, aunt, hairstylist, artist, and San Antonian whose family searched for her while the system moved on.
Her mother asked the question in 2014:
Was it accidental?
Was she hurt?
Did someone hurt her?
Twelve years later, that question still sits in the record.
And now the records raise more questions.
What did SAPD know at 2:16 a.m. when the assault-in-progress call came in?
Did officers identify everyone involved?
Did anyone photograph Bianca’s injuries?
Was the blood tested?
Was the apartment treated as a crime scene or as a disturbance involving a woman avoiding police?
Why did the next-day caller direct police toward the river?
What did BCSO do after Bianca’s body was found?
What case number is BCSO using?
What warrants, if any, were executed?
And why is Bexar County still withholding the Medical Examiner file under an active-investigation theory while BCSO’s own response makes it look like they had no clue what case was even being requested?
Bianca disappeared after violence entered her home. Her body was later found near the river. Bexar County called it an active criminal investigation when it wanted to keep the Medical Examiner's records secret.
So where is the investigation?
And why, twelve years later, does San Antonio still not know what happened to Bianca Jimenez?
