MIYA’S LAST MOVEMENTS

Miya is a Valencia College sophomore. She was last seen on September 24th at 5 pm at the Arden villas apartment complex, where she lives with her family and works in the building’s letting office.

She was supposed to fly to Fort Lauderdale that night to see her family, but she never got on the plane.

A search of her apartment revealed signs of a violent struggle. The door to her bedroom was blocked, the room was disorganized, and Miya had a bloodstain on her pillow.

Armando Manuel Caballero (27-year-old maintenance worker at the complex) was the prime suspect. He was found dead of an apparent suicide Monday.

According to Police, Caballero has repeatedly spoken out “romantic interest” in Miya before her disappearance – unwanted advances that the teen routinely rebuffed.

Also, he was known to possess a master key used to access her apartment at 4.30 pm Friday. This was around 30 minutes after Miya had finished work.

The morning after, Caballero was caught on camera carrying gloves and a blanket, as well as a backpack, out of his car before entering a building.

MIYA OBSESSED SUSPECTIVELY

Caili had previously stated to Central Recorder that Caballero was his. “obsessed and infatuated “Miya is your best friend. “constantly “She texted me, despite her not being interested.

She stated that Miya shared with at least two of her friends Caballero’s advances and behavior, making her feel uncomfortable.

Caili also shared that Semone Westmaas (her aunt) had a chilling encounter just hours after Miya disappeared.

As they waited for the Police to arrive, Westmaas met the maintenance worker outside the apartment.

“He was trying to leave. His lights were off,” She retold. “He said, ‘Are you looking for Miya?’ I said, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I’m the maintenance guy. I heard you’re looking for me’. I didn’t know who this guy was at the time.”

Caili claimed that the family was surprised by the encounter “weird” because they hadn’t yet publicized that Miya was missing.

Marlon Marcano approached Caballero and inquired if he’d been in contacting his daughter.

Caili claimed Caballero was acting skittishly and appeared to be unable to communicate. “quite nervous.”

Police asked him a series of questions, and he answered that he last saw Miya on Friday at 3 pm, before he left.

After discovering that he had entered Miya’s apartment without her permission or knowledge, the Police issued him a warrant for his arrest.

‘COWARD’S WAY OUT’

On Monday, Caballero was found dead with 911 audio revealing how his lifeless body was found hanging in a maintenance garage at the Sabal Club apartment complex in Seminole County.

Caili stated that Caballero’s suicide has angered the family, accusing him of a “cowardly way out.”

We are angry because he has left us with any questions. Questions that may never be answered because there may have been things only he knew and was present to answer.

“I just feel really angry and frustrated because I felt like we had him, and then he was gone.”

John Mina, Orange County Sheriff, said he was dead “for some time “When deputies discovered him.

Mina then announced on Saturday that investigators had discovered remains they believed belonged to Miya.

TRAGIC END

Caballero lived in Seminole County, and the body was discovered in a wooded location near the Tymberskan apartments.

Mina said search parties combed the area Saturday morning after Caballero’s cellphone data placed him in the area for 20 minutes just hours after Marcano’s disappearance.

Marcano can be positively identified with a medical exam and an autopsy.
