Husband claimed his missing wife was arrested by ICE — but security footage suggests a more sinister story
The husband of a missing mother of three claimed his wife had been detained by ICE agents — but Ring camera footage later showed him dragging a heavy object wrapped in fabric from his home soon before she was found dead in the woods. The body of Sheylla Guitierrez, 33, was found in the Angeles National Forest on Saturday morning, four days after she was initially reported missing from her apartment in Lancaster, Los Angeles County, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. Guitierrez's family told ABC7 that her husband Jossimar Cabrera, who is now suspected of killing her, initially gave several excuses regarding her whereabouts — including that ICE had taken her, that she left with another man and that she's been in an accident — before fleeing the country with their children.

Cabrera, 36, had since fled to Peru with the couple's children. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office is working with local authorities to have him extradited to the US. Video obtained by KTLA Tuesday appears to show Cabrera being taken into custody by Peruvian authorities, although it's unclear if he will be extradited. If returned to the US, he will likely face murder charges, officials said. 'Jossimar Cabrera is currently believed to be in Peru, pending further investigation needed to bring him to justice,' the LASD said in a press release.

KTLA The couple's three children were found safe in Peru and are staying with their maternal grandmother, family members told ABC7. Gutierrez's mother told the outlet that her daughter reported her husband for domestic violence in Peru and that the last time they spoke, she told her she would be filing a report against him in the US.

Fugitive husband seen dragging large object in sheet shortly before wife was found murdered in national forest
Surveillance footage captured the fugitive husband of a murdered woman dragging a suspiciously large sack from their apartment shortly before her body was found in a Southern California national forest. Sheylla Cabrera, 33, was reported missing on August 12 by concerned neighbors, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. During their investigation, police discovered Ring camera footage of her husband, Jossimar Cabrera, 36, dragging a large object wrapped in a what appeared to be a sheet from the apartment the couple lived at with their three young sons in Lancaster. 'Based on their additional information, they suspected foul play may have been involved with the missing person and notified the Homicide Bureau,' the sheriff's department said. Investigators then launched an extensive search in the wilderness area north of Los Angeles, NBC 4 reported. On Saturday, the Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team made the grim discovery inside Angeles National Forest. They found an object similar to the material that was seen being dragged by Cabrera over the side of an embankment containing Sheylla's body. While her cause of death will be determined by the Los Angles County Medical Examiner's Office, officials are seeking murder charges against Cabrera, who police believe fled to Peru. 'This case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for their consideration of filing murder charges against Jossimar Cabrera and obtaining the necessary documents to secure his return to the United States,' the sheriff's department said. 'Jossimar Cabrera is currently believed to be in Peru, pending further investigation needed to bring him to justice.' On Saturday, the couple's three kids were located in Peru and taken into protective custody. Cabrera was briefly detained at the airport in Peru, but was released because he had not been charged, KTLA reported. Sheylla's mother, Helga Rocillo Morán, told local media outlet Latina Noticias that the couple and their children migrated to the United States in 2023 in search of a fresh start, but her daughter wanted to come home because of Cabrera's abuse. 'She told me that [Cabrera] hit her, mistreated her, and had even hit my youngest grandchild, the youngest of whom is three years old. He had slapped her,' the concerned mother said. Morán said that she communicated with Cabrera on August 13 via text message and that he informed her that Sheylla had been detained at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office during a scheduled appointment. Morán accused Cabrera of lying because the offices are not open on Sundays and his appointment was scheduled for September. 'There's no report with ICE. If she were deported, she would have called me by now,' Morán said. A neighbor told the family that she heard loud screams from the home, but decided not to get involved. A male friend of Sheylla's told La República newspaper that he reached out to California authorities, which found blood stains in front of the condominium. Security camera footage showed the couple entering the home before Cabrera appeared alone dragging the sack.

Horror doorbell vid shows ‘killer' husband dragging sack feared to contain Sheylla Cabrera's body before he fled to Peru
THE husband of a woman found dead in a forest was caught on a home security camera lugging a large object wrapped in a sheet. A neighbour's Ring camera footage allegedly shows 36-year-old Jossimar Cabrera hauling an oddly-shaped sack - which investigators fear contained his wife's body. 5 5 5 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." 5 5
