The charred remains of a body believed to be 31-year-old Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvias were found inside a burning SUV in a rural area south of Orlando. The circumstances were too consistent with her bizarre kidnapping to assume they found another victim. The terrifying abduction was caught on camera by another driver who witnessed a green Acura following Guerrero De Aguasvias and eventually ramming into her car. She called her husband for help when she found herself stuck at a stoplight, but a man wearing a Halloween mask approached her car and abducted her at gunpoint.
The authorities found the SUV burning in a construction area just 17 miles from where Guerrero De Aguasvias was abducted. Shell casings were found at the scene, consistent with the 10mm handgun that the kidnapper was using. While police are confident that the attack was targeted, they are unsure of the motive behind it. Both Guerrero De Aguasvias and her husband immigrated to the US from the Dominican Republic five years ago and are associated with businesses in South Florida. There is no criminal history for either of them in the United States, and police do not understand why they were targeted.
The husband of Guerrero De Aguasvias informed investigators that his late wife was traveling through Central Florida to visit family members, but was unable to provide names or contact information for these individuals. Authorities were unable to locate any family members living in the area. The police have not indicated whether they consider Guerrero De Aguasvias’ husband a suspect in the case, but they are asking the public to remain vigilant and report any information on the individuals involved in the abduction and murder. Lemma emphasized that both individuals should be viewed as armed and dangerous and urged people not to confront them directly.
The sheriff described the incident as a tragic and horrible situation and expressed his belief that the perpetrators were familiar with the area where Guerrero De Aguasvias was taken. The video footage of the abduction showed a man in a Halloween mask approaching her vehicle with a firearm before climbing into the backseat. Police are working to uncover more details about the motive behind the attack, as there are many unknowns in the case. Investigators are puzzled as to why neither Guerrero De Aguasvias nor her husband contacted 911 during the incident and are struggling to determine why they were targeted.
The authorities are continuing their investigation and asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals involved in the abduction and murder of Guerrero De Aguasvias. Lemma emphasized the importance of contacting the authorities rather than trying to handle the situation personally due to the perceived danger of the individuals they are searching for. The case remains ongoing as law enforcement works to uncover more information about the motive behind the attack and identify those responsible for the tragic abduction and murder of Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvias.
