GEORGETOWN ― Georgetown police have linked blood and bone fragments found to a man accused in the disappearance of business owner Harvey Huber, according to an affidavit released Friday.
Huber’s body has not been found but the man linked to his disappearance, Jimmy Tschoerner, was having an affair with Huber’s wife since May 2019, according to the affidavit.
Tschoerner, 47, was charged Wednesday with tampering/fabricating physical evidence with an intent to impair a human corpse. Huber’s wife, Melissa Crawford-Huber, has not been charged.
She told police she found out Huber had disappeared after Tschoerner told her on Feb. 26 that he had been to Huber’s business and that Huber was gone, the affidavit said.
It said police analyzed Tschoerner’s phone data and found he had been to a private property at 3001 Interstate 35 North in Georgetown that had a tunnel under a driveway, the affidavit said.
Police found multiple bloodstains in the tunnel and bone fragments, the affidavit said. It said a director of forensic anthropology at Texas State University analyzed the bone fragments and said they came from a human skull.
It said investigators also found pieces of a tarp that had come from Huber’s auto repair business.
Police also discovered blood stains on a wrecker that Tschoerner was driving for a tow company, the affidavit said.
Video surveillance outside Huber’s business also showed a tow truck leaving Huber’s business at 2425 N. Austin Blvd. in Georgetown on Feb. 25 with an object in the back of it “consistent in size with being a human corpse,” police said.
