Security camera video showed the husband of a missing Antelope Valley woman found dead in Angeles National Forest dragging what appeared to be a large object from the apartment where the couple lived with their three young sons, investigators said Tuesday.
A missing person report was taken Aug. 12 by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for 33-year-old Sheylla Cabrera. During the investigation, detectives discovered the security camera video of her husband dragging something in “a large piece of material,” possibly a sack, from the complex in the 500 block of Lancaster Boulevard in Lancaster.
The search for Cabrera centered on the wilderness area north of Los Angeles a day after she was reported missing. On Saturday, the Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team reported an object similar to the material that was seen being dragged from the home over the side of an embankment in Angeles National Forest.
The material contained the body of Cabrera, authorities said. A cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Jossimar Cabrera, 36, has been identified as a person of interest in his wife’s death. He is believed to be in Peru, the sheriff’s department said.
No arrests were reported in connection with the investigation Tuesday afternoon.
The three children also were reported missing, but found safe Saturday and taken into protective custody in Peru.
