Disturbing details emerge as millionaire businesswoman Andreen McDonald's body is found after huge a

DISTURBING new details have been released about the millionaire businesswoman and mother who was found dead miles away from her home after an alleged argument with her husband. 

In the latest episode of CBS News’ 48 Hours crime show segment, the network reveals chilling details regarding Andreen McDonald’s disappearance and death four years ago. 

On March 1, 2019, Andreen, 29, was first reported missing from her San Antonio, Texas home. 

That same day, Andreen’s husband and a military veteran Andre McDonald reportedly told investigators that he hadn’t seen his wife since the night before. 

At the time, he also said the couple had gotten into an argument about their assisted living business. 

However, he claimed he left the house and went to a gas station nearby.

When he returned, Andre alleged that he thought his wife was sleeping in their child’s bedroom.  

Approximately 133 days later, in July of the same year, Andreen’s remains were reportedly found only six miles away from the home. 

Andre was soon arrested for her murder

The Texas man pleaded not guilty to the charges and did not speak about the incident for several years until the start of his trial earlier this year, according to 48 Hours.

On January 30, the sixth day of his trial, Andre explained in detail what happened the night before his wife went missing. 

He started off re-telling the same story he told investigators in 2019, revealing that the argument followed an appointment the couple had with a tax preparer. 

During the February 28, 2019 appointment, Andre claimed he viewed documents that supposedly showed his wife started a new company without telling him. 

“Basically, that meant to me, pretty much, that she was robbing me,” Andre said while on the stand. 

Following the appointment, the couple got into a heated argument. 

While Andre testified that he did indeed leave the house, he said Andreen was not asleep when he returned. 

The Texas man claimed that his wife was waiting for him and that they continued to argue. 

At one point, Andre testified that he proposed divorcing and splitting their business assets in half.

He went on to claim that this idea made Andreen “extremely irate,” adding that the argument allegedly then turned into a physical altercation. 

"She's, like, throwing, like, some punches. So, I'm trying to, like, duck down and, like, keep my head, my face from, you know, getting hit with the blows,” Andre testified. 

He then claimed he remembered grabbing his wife and tripping her. 

After she fell to the ground, Andre claimed he kicked Andreen twice and heard “wheezing.” 

It was at that moment that Andre testified he heard his daughter’s footsteps in the background. 

He revealed he took his daughter back to bed, leaving his wife where she was. 

While the Texas man claimed Andreen was alive when he left the room, she was dead when he returned. 

During his trial, Andre’s legal team purported that he was acting in self-defense, pointing to how Andreen was a regular powerlifter, and would lift around 300 pounds. 

While on the stand, Andre claimed he was “in fear of…being harmed during that whole situation.” 

In early February, nearly four years after Andreen’s death, a jury found Andre not guilty of murdering his wife, instead convicting him of manslaughter, according to KSAT-TV.

He later received the maximum sentence for 20 years in prison for the charge. 

The full episode detailing the case will air on 48 Hours on Saturday at 10 p.m.
