A Colorado father and his girlfriend were apprehended by police after authorities found his young daughter’s body encased in concrete inside a storage unit and her brother’s remains stuffed in a suitcase placed in the trunk of a car left at a scrapyard.
Jesus Dominguez, aged 35, was taken into custody on Saturday, while his girlfriend, Corena Rose Minjarez, aged 36, was arrested the previous day in connection with the deaths of the two children, who disappeared in 2018, as announced by Pueblo police.
Authorities stated that a significant development in the case occurred on January 20th when a storage unit at Kings Storage in Pueblo was undergoing cleaning. During the process, officers discovered a metal container filled with solidified concrete. Upon further investigation of the container, law enforcement uncovered the remains of a young girl. Subsequent DNA testing positively identified the remains as belonging to Yesenia Dominguez, who disappeared at the age of 3 during the summer of 2018.
On January 31st, Minjarez and Dominguez, the latter wanted on an outstanding warrant, were taken in by the police for questioning. They informed the authorities that the children might be in Phoenix, Arizona, but this lead did not pan out. Meanwhile, during the investigation, it was found that Minjarez, who was dating Dominguez but had no relation to the children, owned a vehicle left at a local scrapyard.
Upon obtaining a search warrant for the vehicle, officers discovered a suitcase in the trunk containing the remains of a young boy identified as Jesus Dominguez Jr., who had gone missing in 2018 at the age of 5. Minjarez and Dominguez are facing charges including two counts of murder and abuse of a corpse each, with Dominguez also charged with theft of government benefits. Court documents indicate that both are being held on a $2 million bond and are scheduled to appear in court again on Wednesday.
It remains uncertain whether either suspect has secured legal representation to advocate for them.
Pueblo Police Department Sgt. Franklyn Ortega stated that there had been no indication or sign of these children since July 2018.
He acknowledged that the police had been requested to conduct welfare checks on the children previously, but they were unable to find them, and no missing persons report had ever been submitted.
