Remains found in Texas ID’d as missing girlfriend of ex-NFL player Kevin Ware

Remains discovered in December have been identified as Taylor Pomaski, the missing Texas girlfriend of former NFL player Kevin Ware, authorities said.

Pomaski, 29 — who was last seen April 25, 2021, at a party at her home in Spring, Texas — was identified as the remains by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office told NBC News on Saturday.

“The investigation is still open and active and homicide investigators are diligent on bringing this case to a close,” senior deputy Thomas Gilliland told the outlet in an email.

The remains were found Dec. 10 in north Harris County as authorities were scouring for clues about her disappearance, the sheriff’s office previously said.

Pomaski had been living with Ware, a former tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, when she was reported missing.

Prosecutors in an unrelated gun and drug case identified Ware as a suspect during a bond hearing. However, Ware has not officially been charged or named as a suspect in Pomaski’s disappearance.

Ware’s attorney, Coby DuBose, said at the time that the former athlete had been cooperating with authorities.

“He’s told the police everything that he knows and he’s led them through his house. He’s let them in his home, and that’s really all we’re going to say about that,” DuBose said.
