As part of an ongoing investigation into Welfare Check, Val Verde County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigators conducted a follow up interview 100 Rusty Drive at approximately 10:00 AM, on September 17, 2025. While conducting an interview with a resident of the home, Investigators observed a suspicious container with electronic components attached to it. For officer and public safety, Investigators and Deputies secured the home and evacuated the residence.

On Wednesday, a “suspicious device” found inside a home on Rusty Drive in the Val Verde Park Estates neighborhood sparked a multi-agency investigation. The device was initially thought to be explosive. In response, Val Verde County Sheriff’s Office issued an evacuation order for residents on Rusty Drive and Grissom Drive as a precautionary measure.
