Millionaire business owner Andreen McDonald was known for her strict workout regimen. On the morning of March 1, 2019, when she didn’t show up for work, her employees called the gym, which was her usual first stop in her morning routine. They found out she never showed up there either, which raised red flags. What happened to the San Antonio businesswoman, wife and mother?

According to Andre McDonald, during a meeting at a tax preparer’s office, he discovered Andreen McDonald had opened a separate business without his knowledge. He later told police, when they got home a heated argument ensued. Andre McDonald said he left the house and went to a gas station to cool down. While there, the argument continued via text.

The couple argued about the business as well as alleged infidelity in the marriage, and even discussed the possibility of divorce. In one message, Andre McDonald texts, “Andreen I don’t care if you file for divorce.”

Andre McDonald said when he returned home, he thought his wife was sleeping in a separate bedroom.

When Andreen McDonald didn’t show up to work the next morning, her friends and colleagues became concerned. They picked up Andreen McDonald’s mother, Maureen Smith, from work and drove to the house. Smith called police and reported Andreen missing. 

When a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy responded to the McDonald home, the group walked him through the house. The deputy noticed something disturbing: there was blood and hair on a light switch in the bathroom.

In the backyard, they discovered a burn pile. In it, a zipper was visible. The deputy also found that Andreen McDonald’s purse, ID and keys were still at the house, but her phone was missing.

When Andre McDonald returned to his home to find law enforcement there, he claimed he did not know where his wife was but revealed they had an argument the night before. After an investigator arrived on the scene, Andre McDonald refused to speak further and requested an attorney.

Later that day, an undercover investigator assigned to watch the McDonald house noticed that the garage had been damaged and saw Andre McDonald backing out of the driveway. The investigator followed him to a nearby gun shop where additional investigators, who were called to the scene, observed Andre McDonald purchasing a 9mm handgun and ammunition.

“We were under the assumption that he was purchasing a gun to probably harm himself,” lead investigator Frank Stubbs told “48 Hours.” 

Andre McDonald was detained as he walked from the store to his car. The investigators turned him over to military authorities for a mental evaluation.

Suspicious items

The items purchased  included a shovel and ax, as well as a hatchet, heavy-duty large trash bags, gloves and two 5-gallon gas cans.

Meanwhile, investigators returned to the McDonald’s house with a search warrant. They found the items Andre McDonald had purchased from Lowe’s that morning which included that shovel and ax, as well as a hatchet, heavy-duty large trash bags, gloves and two 5-gallon gas cans. In a nearby trash can, they found a torn receipt for the items.

The shopping list

Investigators would later obtain a handwritten shopping list Andre McDonald had on him when he was arrested. The list includes many of the items McDonald purchased from Lowe’s. Stubbs told “48 Hours” it appeared Andre McDonald entered Lowe’s with a sinister plan.

“It doesn’t appear that he’s going to do yard work … at least not with his wife missing,” Stubbs told correspondent Peter Van Sant. “It appears to us that he’s going to use these things to dismember her body …”

The following day, the Air Force concluded its evaluation of Andre McDonald and released himCivil authorities quickly moved in and placed him under arrest, but not for murder. He was arrested for tampering with evidence because of that torn up Lowe’s receipt investigators found in the trash. In April 2019, Andre McDonald posted bond and was released.
