Family members found the body of a pregnant 16-year-old in Gwinnett County woods. Police have now charged her ex-boyfriend with lying to them.
Mia Campos’ family called 911 after they found the teen’s body around 1 a.m. on Monday. Police said her body was in a wooded area just off Stephens Road in Loganville.
Campos’ family said she had left the house sometime Sunday night with someone but never returned home. Her family tracked down her cellphone to the woods where they found her body.
The medical examiner’s office did an autopsy and ruled her death was a homicide. Investigators have not released a cause of death.
Police interviewed Jesus Monroy, Campos’ ex-boyfriend. On Wednesday, they charged him with giving false statements to police. No other charges have been announced.
Channel 2′s Michael Doudna spoke to Campos’ father, Edward Campos, who said she was supposedly going to QuikTrip with Monroy, but after calling her for hours, they realized something was wrong.
“They took everything from her, they took everything from me,” Campos said. “And to see your daughter laid down, it’s hard. There are no words for that.”
Police said they have more information, but they are not revealing anything yet.
“So it’s not just the loss of a victim but of her unborn child,” Sg. Collin Flynn said. “The police department is taking this matter extremely seriously, as it should, so that’s why we are withholding some information now.”
Campos’ mother set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses.
“Mia, my daughter, the girl of my eyes, my baby, has passed away with her son in her belly. I ask God to watch over her and her baby, now she and my grandson are in heaven with God. With all my heart ♥️ I ask you for help to give her and her baby a dignified burial,” Miriam Zarate wrote.
