Eyewitness News has obtained information that the body discovered near Sunset Park last week has been identified as the missing Henderson woman, Mariela Moreno, who was last seen on New Year's Eve.
The 20-year-old vanished without a trace. Her boyfriend, Isidro Munoz, was the last person to see her alive. He told police he had dropped her off at her home after a New Year's Eve party but pulled his car away before she walked into the house.
In a Feb. interview, Henderson police raised their suspicions. “From the moment detectives started working this missing person's case, we felt there were some suspicious circumstances,” said Henderson Police Information Officer Todd Rasmussen.
Her body was discovered on Feb. 29 near Sunset Park. For the past week, the coroner's office has been working to positivity confirm her identity.
