Additionally, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of a third adult, identified as 31-year-old Christopher Robert Thompson of Kyle.

Based on the account of a witness, officers located Thompson’s truck and talked with him. “He ended up confessing and returning a lot of the property he stole,” Hernandez said. Other property has still to be returned.
