Overview

  • Los Angeles County investigators say security video showed 36-year-old Jossimar Cabrera dragging a large object from the couple’s Lancaster apartment complex.
  • Search teams later found 33-year-old Sheylla Cabrera’s body on Aug. 16 down an embankment in the Angeles National Forest, wrapped in material matching the footage.
  • LASD has named Jossimar Cabrera a person of interest and believes he is in Peru after authorities there questioned him at the Lima airport but did not detain him.
  • The couple’s three children were located safe in Peru and placed in protective custody, and Peru’s foreign ministry said the boys were repatriated to Los Angeles to reunite with family.
  • The sheriff’s department says the case will be presented to the L.A. County district attorney for potential murder charges as investigators seek documents to secure Cabrera’s return, with the medical examiner still determining cause of death.
