(PUEBLO, Colo.) — The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) has arrested a woman after the bodies of two children were identified—one found encased in concrete in a Pueblo storage unit and another found in a suitcase in the trunk of a scrapped car.
In January, the Pueblo Police Department (PPD) began an investigation after a child’s body was found encased in concrete in a storage unit on West 6th Street. In connection to the case, a search was launched for Jesus Dominguez Jr. and Yesenia Dominguez, two children who were last seen in 2018.
According to PPD, 35-year-old Jesus Dominguez and 36-year-old Corena Rose Minjarez were interviewed in late January as persons of interest, after Dominguez was arrested on an outstanding warrant. During the interview, the possibility of the children being in the Phoenix, Arizona area was mentioned, though PPD said this lead proved fruitless.
During the course of the investigation, a car belonging to Minjarez was found at a local scrap yard. On Feb. 6, police executed a search warrant on the car and found a suitcase in the trunk. Inside the suitcase were the remains of a boy.
