The investigating prosecutor’s office announced that they have a suspect in the case.
This happened this Thursday between five and seven in the morning, when the victim’s partner located her as she was leaving for work.
Apparently she left first to take the bus, the subject said.
Around 6 a.m., he called his cell phone, the ringtone sounded, but he received no answer.
It was at that moment that he decided to go to his workplace and was told that he never arrived.
