Anaqua Springs shooting case reassigned after sheriff deems investigation ‘incomplete’
Investigation was expected to wrap up by end of 2020

SAN ANTONIO – Although the investigation into the shooting deaths of a mother and her two children was expected to wrap up by the end of 2020, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar confirmed he reassigned the case to a different investigator within the department.
The investigation has been ongoing with assistance from the FBI since Jan. 10, 2019, when Nichol Olsen was found dead with her daughters, 10-year-old London Bribiescas and 16-year-old Alexa Montez in their Anaqua Springs home.
The medical examiner ruled the case a murder-suicide, indicating that Olsen fatally shot her daughters before turning the gun on herself, but Salazar directed investigators to see if there was any evidence to refute those findings.
