Hot news:Fiancé Received a Suspicious Text from TikToker’s Phone. Days Later, She Was Found Slain
Authorities in Georgia have found the remains of a TikToker nearly a week after she was last seen at a Walmart.
Minelys Zoe Rodriguez-Ramirez, 25, was reported missing by her family members on Wednesday, Oct. 23, a day after she was last seen at a Walmart in Cornelia, Ga., the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement last week.
On Monday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested 24-year-old Angel DeJesus Rivera-Sanches on a charge of kidnapping in connection with the woman’s disappearance, the agency said in a statement.
On Tuesday, the GBI announced they had located the woman’s remains and will be further charging the suspect with murder.
The sheriff’s office said Rodriguez-Ramirez was last heard from through a text message on the night she disappeared.
Her fiancé, Julio Tovor, told local outlet Now Habersham that the last text message he received from her appeared to have been sent by someone else.
According to Tovor, the message read: “I am waiting for the brother to pick him up.”
“It didn’t make sense,” Tovor told the outlet. “She doesn’t talk like that.”
Rodriguez-Ramirez was a TikToker with more than 22,000 followers, and she posted videos featuring her workouts and stories of her past, with special focus on how she went to prison at the age of 13.
Her family says she had a 9-year-old daughter who lives with her father in Puerto Rico, Now Habersham reported. On her TikTok, Rodriguez-Ramirez spoke about having a child at the age of 15 and fighting for custody.
“She treasured her daughter,” Tovor told the outlet.
Authorities did not reveal a motive or if Rodriguez-Ramirez knew her alleged attacker. The GBI is awaiting her autopsy results.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Rivera-Sanches has entered a plea or retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
The investigation is ongoing. The GBI requests anyone with information is urged to contact the bureau at 800-597-8477, use the See Something, Send Something mobile app, or submit tips online at https://gbi.georgia.gov/submit-tips-online.
