    An 18-year-old Colorado woman sent her friend eerie text messages asking to be checked on periodically before she was allegedly strangled to death by a man she met on Snapchat.

    Annabelle Margaret Floren-Wyant was found dead with blood coming out of her ear just before 3 a.m. on Aug. 1 in the home of Jorge Meza-Alarcon Jr., 26, near El Paso, Texas, KKTV reported.

    The teen’s friend told police she had visited Meza-Alarcon’s home to “collect money,” according to the report.

    “[The friend] said Annabelle informed him Jorge was ‘weird’ and requested he check on her periodically via text message or phone call,” arrest papers obtained by the outlet read.

    “When [the friend] was unable to reach Annabelle at approximately 0225 hours, he called 911 to report the incident.”

    Floren-Wyant was found inside the suspect’s bedroom with blood coming from her ear, according to the arrest papers.

    Authorities found Meza-Alarcon about three miles from his home with injuries to his face. He had called 911 claiming someone had assaulted him, according to the report.

    Meza-Alarcon then told investigators Floren-Wyant had agreed to meet up via Snapchat to exchange money for sex.

    He told authorities that Floren-Wyant requested money and when he turned to get it, he was hit in the head with a cellphone, which caused him to black out.

    Meza-Alarcon then claimed Floren-Wyant had threatened him and he felt uneasy about the encounter — especially since there was a vehicle idling outside and Floren-Wyant was texting someone throughout the night, according to the report.

    Meza-Alarcon told investigators he got scared because he thought they were planning to attack him so he put her in a “D’arce” chokehold, which he demonstrated for police in the interview room, according to the arrest papers.

    After he got off Floren-Wyant he went outside to his dad’s truck. When asked if he knew Floren-Wyant was dead he said, “without checking her pulse…”

    Meza-Alarcon was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
