Investigators and volunteers continued searching landfills in Corona and Rialto today for the body of pregnant 17-year-old Anyssia Escamilla, who was reported missing after she failed to return home from school on May 11th. According to police, the decision to search these landfills came after Escamilla's 18-year-old boyfriend admitted to killing her and throwing her body in a trash can. "He did indicate that he was responsible for her death and had put her into a trash can after he killed her, which is what brought us here," Sgt. Billy Green said at a news conference Monday at a Rialto landfill.Jesus Avitia Jr. has been charged with two counts of murder, including one for the victim's unborn child.
Although police have not commented on a motive for the crime, CBS News reported that Escamilla's parents said that the boyfriend's family disapproved of the relationship because Anyssia had a 3-year-old son from a previous relationship.
TERRIBLE!!! To put your hands on... much less MURDER the girl you impregnated. Thankfully this poor excuse of a human being is 18 and will be tried as an adult for these heinous crimes.
