Breaking: They Found Another Young Girls Body

The Sheriff of Orange County, Florida, John Mina, held a press conference on Saturday, October 2, 2021 to announce that the body recovered by his officers most likely were those of Miya Marcano, who had been missing since Friday, September 24.

Phone records lead to body

Investigators followed cell phone location data from Miya Marcano’s suspected killer, who committed suicide shortly after they questioned him about Miya’s disappearance. It led them directly to her body, found near “the dilapidated Tymber Skan apartments” at around 10:45 a.m. “in a wooded area near the apartment complex near Holden Heights.”

The sheriff offered his condolences. “As a community, as a sheriff, as a father, we are grieving the loss of Miya. We can’t imagine the pain and anguish Miya’s parents, her family, the loved ones, the friends, and really our entire community have gone through and will continue to go through.”

Ever since Marcano turned up missing, 27-year-old Armando Caballero was the prime suspect. The police obtained his cell phone records on Wednesday and by Saturday morning had worked out a list of coordinates to investigate. The data “placed him near there for 20 minutes hours after Marcano’s disappearance.”

Detectives combed the area extensively throughout Saturday morning and after they found the body, her “purse with her ID was found nearby.” Caballero was familiar with the area as he used to live in the flea infested Tymber Skan apartments. “Nothing in the records indicate that he ever returned there before he killed himself,” Sheriff Mina added.

It will take an autopsy to nail down the exact cause of death and a 100 percent verified identification of Marcano’s body but everyone is certain it’s her. Shortly before Miya vanished “Caballero was seen letting himself into her apartment with a master key.”

They worked together at the Arden Villas complex and he wanted to date her but she wasn’t interested. On Saturday evening, over “100 people gathered” for a candlelight vigil where “dozens of candles lined the curb in front of the building where Marcano lived, and flowers and signs expressing love for her and contempt for property managers covered the grass.”

Everyone blames the management

Violet Deville, who is Marcano’s grandmother relates that it’s “been tragic, it’s been horrible” and finding the body is “not something we were looking forward for. Even though some of us had it in the back of our minds, we still had hope that we would find her alive.”

The 19 year old high school student “was supposed to board a flight to Ft. Lauderdale to visit family but never made it.” They all think the complex should have done a better background check before hiring the murderer, or at least kept him out of her apartment when he had no reason to be there.

Caballero saved the public the expense of a trial and housing him the rest of his life. “He was found dead in an apparent suicide at his Seminole County apartment complex after investigators spoke to him about Marcano’s disappearance.”

After the put the pieces together, “detectives later learned Caballero, an maintenance worker at the Arden Villas, used a master key to improperly enter her apartment not long before she was last seen.” Now that they found the body where his phone pointed them, “deputies are not looking for any other suspects, believing ‘pretty conclusively’ that Caballero was solely responsible.”

Before the body was found, the search for Ms. Marcano “spanned three counties and involved 60 detectives, 175 personnel and 30 searches.” Too bad they didn’t run into Brian Laundrie while they were out there. The police would have found Marcano sooner except they were sidetracked searching another area.

“Over the last few days, Sheriff’s Office search teams focused heavily on New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County, where cellphone data placed him the morning after Marcano went missing.” They blame the wasted time on the FBI who joined the search and figured it was the most likely spot because he “spent the longest amount of time there.” It turns out, that was misdirection. The FBI has been getting a lot of practice searching marshy wooded areas.
