She was seven months pregnant with Monroy’s child at the time of her death, according to police. Monroy is Campos’ ex-boyfriend.

She left her parents’ home on July 14 and got into Monroy’s car.

Her father, Edward Campos, found her body dumped in the woods a few hours later.

Police soon declared the death a homicide and took Monroy into custody after they said he lied to police during an interview. He was later charged with murder.

“Justice is coming. And it’s coming hard,” Campos told Channel 2′s Michael Doudna . “That was my last daughter. He took my daughter, he took her away from me, and he took not just my daughter but he took my grandson away from me too.”
