The footage was captured on August 12 near Cabrera's Los Angeles County home.
It was taken in the dead of night, and shows the man dragging a covered object along an empty street.
His 33-year-old wife Sheylla Cabrera had been reported missing.
But sadly her body was found the following day in Angeles National Forest wrapped in a sheet.
Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team found an object with similar material to what was being dragged in the video, according to NBC Los Angeles.
A cause of death is to be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
After she was identified, investigators went to their family home to find out more.
But when they arrived, Jossimar and the couple's three children were nowhere to be found.
They were initially declared missing, but the kids were subsequently found in Peru.
Jossimar, a Peruvian national, had taken the children there as he fled the United States before the discovery of his wife's body, according to FoxLA.
Their kids are now in protective custody, NBC Los Angeles has reported.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is working with Peruvian law enforcement to track down Jossimar in Peru.
They intend to extradite him to the United States - where it is believed he will face murder charges.
He had reportedly been briefly detained at an airport in Peru, but was released as his wife's body had not been discovered at that point.
Sheylla's cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
According to neighbours, she had said her husband was physically abusive.
One neighbour told NBC Los Angeles: "It's scary, very spooky.
"I don't know what and a person's right mind will want to do that to the mother of their kids."

Trump threatens Colorado with ‘harsh measures' unless far-right election conspiracy theorist released from prison
Donald Trump is demanding the release of a prominent far-right conspiracy theorist and former state elections official who is serving a nine-year jail sentence after she was found guilty of crimes connected to a nationwide scheme to overturn election results in states Trump lost in 2020. He threatened 'harsh measures' against the state of Colorado if officials refuse his command. 'FREE TINA PETERS, a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians, including the big Mail-In Ballot supporting the governor of the State,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday. 'Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW. She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the Election,' he added. 'She is an old woman, and very sick. If she is not released, I am going to take harsh measures!!!' Peters is among the only officials who have been convicted of crimes stemming from far-right plots to illegally reverse Trump's loss to Joe Biden in 2020, using positions of power to amplify bogus claims of fraud and launch spurious investigations into voting machines and software. Because she was tried in state court, Trump cannot order her release or issue a pardon. In May, he ordered the Department of Justice 'to take all necessary action' to get her out of jail. Peters, a former Mesa County clerk, was accused of breaching the county's elections systems during a 2021 security update to prove her unfounded fraud claims. She was accused of helping a man gain access to secure areas of her office using someone else's security badge to covertly copy a Dominion Voting Systems hard drive — the contents of which were shared with pillow salesman and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell. She later unsuccessfully ran for Colorado secretary of state in 2022, coming in second in a Republican primary election. Last year, she was found guilty of three felony counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one felony count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, one misdemeanor count of official misconduct, one misdemeanor count of violation of duty in elections, and one misdemeanor count of failure to comply with the secretary of state. Peters has continued to promote baseless claims of election fraud and supports Trump's ongoing false narrative that the 2020 election was 'rigged' and 'stolen' from him. After she pleaded for leniency during her sentencing hearing last year, the judge presiding over her case called her a 'charlatan' who 'betrayed' her oath to public service. 'You're no hero, you abused your position, and you're a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that's been proven to be a snake oil time and time again,' Judge Matthew Barrett said at the time. 'I'm convinced you'd do it all over again if you could,' he added. 'You are a privileged person. You are as privileged as they come. You used that for power and fame.' Colorado's Democratic Attorney General Jena Griswold called Trump's commands an 'embarrassment.' 'Donald Trump and Tina Peters are election-denying criminals who put their need for power ahead of the American people,' she wrote. 'Trump's feeble attempts to put pressure on the justice system to re-write history is an embarrassment. … While he keeps digging himself lower and lower to free a criminal convicted by a jury of her peers, I will continue to uphold the law and our free and fair elections.' Trump escalated his specious crusade against election administration this week with a threat to 'end' mail-in voting before 2026 midterm elections, with the fate of the balance of power in Congress at stake. The president — whose false and inflated claims about early voting span more than a decade — called to 'lead a movement' to 'get rid of' mail-in voting and the use of voting machines that process ballots, which would radically change how voters participate in elections and could disenfranchise tens of thousands of people. 'We're going to start with an executive order that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt,' Trump said in the Oval Office this week. Trump cannot legally end state and local rules for election administration, though White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested this week that the president is pressing Republicans in Congress to change federal law.

Man charged with murder after ice cream seller stabbed to death
A man has been charged with murder after an ice cream seller was stabbed to death in north-west London. Shazad Khan, 41, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded to reports of an altercation in Monks Park in Wembley at 6.10pm on Tuesday. Zaher Zaarour, 26, of Brent in north-west London, has been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article, the Metropolitan Police announced on Thursday. He is due to appear at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Friday. A 31-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of conspiracy to murder – but has been bailed pending further inquiries, the force said. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller said: 'I would like to thank the community for their help and support during this investigation. 'Residents can expect to see an increase of officers in the local area over the next coming days as the investigation continues.' Local residents told the PA news agency that Mr Khan was well known in the area for selling ice creams in a van. Asim Mahmood Butt, 39, who lives in nearby Tokyngton Avenue, said he was childhood friends with the victim. Speaking at the scene on Wednesday, he said: 'I got a call from one of my cousins. 'This guy, we know him – he's a famous ice cream guy. He got stabbed yesterday. 'I came here and his body was still here, and police had cordoned off the area. 'I know his brothers as well – they're all local. We all used to play cricket and football here in Monks Park. 'He started (selling) ice cream about a year ago.' Mr Butt said Mr Khan was married and had a young daughter. The ice cream van, which had been parked on the road at the time of the incident, was well known locally for having a large teddy bear, the witness added.

Ant smuggling into the US is out of control since Trump's cuts – and it could have dire impacts on the country
The smuggling of ants and other insects in the U.S. could be on the rise due to recent cuts to the USDA under the Trump administration, a new report says. The Department of Government Efficiency, the agency once led by billionaire Elon Musk, issued widespread layoffs and buyouts to federal employees this spring. This impacted several members of the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which helps restrict the smuggling of invertebrates like ants, Wired reports. While some of those staff were later rehired, other positions have remained vacant, according to the outlet. These cuts have alarmed experts, and sources familiar with the industry say ant smugglers have been emboldened by the recent cuts under the Trump administration, according to Wired. 'It's getting out of hand,' one ant seller said. 'They realize the U.S. market is a gold mine.' Some members of the ant-selling community also told Wired that the process to sell ants legally has become harder, which in turn is contributing to an uptick in illegal sales. 'Smuggling ants hasn't gotten easier from the cuts to federal services, trading ants across state borders legally has gotten harder,' one former black market ant seller told Wired. This could pose a problem because invasive ants can have devastating impacts on the environment. In Florida, millions of tawny crazy ants — an invasive species from South America — are forming super colonies and driving out local wildlife, the Herald-Tribune reports. The ants are also invading residents' homes and damaging electrical equipment. Areas of the southeast U.S. also saw an increase in invasive Asian needle ants this summer. The venomous species has been found in the U.S. for 90 years, but its population exploded recently. A single sting can send someone to the hospital with life-threatening symptoms. Some experts say they're concerned about cuts to infrastructure that detects and prevents invasive species. 'There's been a lot of cutting of the inspectors as part of the quote-unquote 'efficiency' moves from the government recently,' Chris Stelzig, executive director of the Entomological Society of America, told Wired. 'A reduced infrastructure to detect invasive species can be problematic.' However, this isn't an entirely new problem. Retired USDA entomologist Carlos Blanco told Wired there were enforcement problems even before the DOGE cuts, too. Armando Rosario-Lebrón, the former co-chair of the Federal Interagency Committee on Invasive Terrestrial Animals and Pathogens, told Wired that the 'illegal market rapidly has become much more aggressive because of the lack of enforcement.' 'The invasiveness potential is off the charts,' he added. 'It's just ridiculous.' USDA spokesperson Heather Curlett told Wired that the agency has the 'same number of entomology staff within the pest permitting unit as we did before' and that the agency's enforcement of federal plant pest regulations 'has not changed or diminished.' 'We work to address all instances of noncompliance both from permit holders who fail to follow the terms and conditions of their permits and those who move plant pests without obtaining the proper permits,' Curlett added.
