Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma announced Friday that a body believed to be a woman abducted in a carjacking was found in a burned vehicle hours later.
Katherine Altagracia Guerrero De Aguasvias, 31, was abducted at gunpoint Thursday afternoon at a northeast Orlando intersection.
Her body was found inside her burning SUV less than two hours later in rural Osceola County.
Lemma said that dental records and DNA will be used to confirm the victim’s identity.
The Sheriff said a green Acura started ramming Aguasvias’ vehicle just outside of Winter Springs.
The terrified woman called her husband who told her to keep driving. Shortly later, Aguasvias got coerced by the suspects’ car with a passenger of the Acura pointing a gun at the victim as he forced his way into her SUV.
The SUV then drove off followed by the suspects’ Acura. The incident was caught on cell phone video by a motorist.
Lemma said that the suspects seemed to target Aguasvias who had no criminal history since arriving in the U.S. five years ago.
Her husband told detectives that she was visiting family in the area but Lemma revealed that investigators couldn’t locate any relatives of the victim in central Florida.
