The mother of boxer Félix Verdejo’s kid sends a message online to those who have criticized her for going partying after the arrest of the fighter and the brutal murder of the young pregnant woman Keishla Rodríguez Ortiz.
Her lawyers insist that she is not a suspect, nor a person of interest; and that she is not being investigated by the federal authorities either … so what about her subpoenas?
Keishla Rodríguez disappeared April 29. Her body was found in the San José lagoon, under the Teodoro Moscoso bridge. Prosecutors are still deciding whether to pursue the death penalty for Verdejo. His next court date is 9/27/2021.
On April 29, the boxer contacted the victim and agreed to arrive at her residence. Verdejo and the witness traveled on board a black Dodge Durango suv.
The victim arrived at the agreed location in her vehicle, a gray Kia Forte car, and got into the boxer’s vehicle.
After they talked, Verdejo punched her in the face and a substance was injected to her with a syringe, which was acquired at a drug spot in the Luis Lloréns Torres caserío.
Verdejo and the witness are alleged to have tied her feet and arms with wire. Then they tied a block to her. The witness took the keys to the Kia vehicle and boarded it.
The boxer and the witness took the vehicles to the Teodoro Moscoso bridge, which crosses the San José lagoon between Carolina and San Juan, and threw Keishla’s body into the water.
Immediately afterwards, Verdejo shot her from the bridge.
Subsequently, the victim’s vehicle was abandoned and agents of the Puerto Rico Police found it on April 30 in Canóvanas.
That day, after Keishla’s parents gave her phone number, FBI agents obtained call and location data from the victim’s cell phone. That same day, they obtained Verdejo’s call records.
The analysis of this data showed that on April 29, the phones associated with the victim and Verdejo were connected in several cellular communication towers, located very close to each other.
Records of phone calls obtained by the FBI showed various communications between Verdejo and the victim between April 28 and 29. A call and several text messages were specifically reflected on April 28 in the morning hours.
On April 29, the FBI checked the surveillance cameras of Teodoro Moscoso. Around 8:29 a.m. The video shows a dark SUV, consistent with Verdejo’s vehicle parked in the emergency lane. The video shows at least the movement of one person next to the vehicle. Then the vehicle is seen leaving the place, and returning on at least two occasions. Shell casings were later found in the location.
