25-year-old Claudia Pena and her husband Nicolas Alvarez were both last seen leaving her mothers home April 7.
Detectives said some of the clothing on one of the bodies matches what Claudia was reportedly wearing when she went missing, though positive identification of both sets of remains is pending confirmation by the Medical Examiner’s Office.
Channel 9 spoke with Pena’s mother and brother who said they are hoping she comes back home.
“I need my daughter,” said Claudia’s mother Ana Boza. “I have to say, I want that she be with me I want she be safe, she’s good.”
This appears to be an isolated incident with no outstanding threats to the public according to deputies.
