Hello everyone,
I am the private investigator in the Doris Maricela Aguilar case. I can be pretty open about this since the man who killed her is dead.
Juan Cuellar had been stalking and harassing Doris since he first became aware of her while working at a Petsmart distribution facility in Phoenix. Cuellar worked for the distribution center and Doris worked for a third party contractor that did the cleaning.
Cuellar was aggressive with her and she filed two reports against him. Cuellar was also sending deranged messages to her (which she would not accept or reply to) speaking as if they were a couple. Since it was announced I am the investigator in the case several of their coworkers have contacted me and told me about Cuellar's obsession. One employee that called me told me Cuellar told him "if she ever leaves me I will kill her." I want to be very clear there was never any sort of relationship between 25 year old Doris and 51 year old Cuellar.
Cuellar also sent threatening messages to a male friend of Doris. He would appear in the gym parking lot and intimidate her. She changed gyms multiple times and even started parking blocks away from the gym so he wouldn't see her car, but none of this worked. She told family members that if something happened to her Cuellar would be responsible.
On July 1st, 2024, around 7:45pm Doris told her brother she was going to the store. She is captured by a traffic cam at 8:01pm on 21st ave and Bethany Home and everything is fine. I have a complete download of her Google, Meta, and T-mobile accounts. She was playing music up via youtube in her car up until about 8:10pm. Then everything goes dark, except for a power on of the phone which then pinged open apps like gmail and facebook at around 9:30am on July 2, 2024, the location data shows Peoria.
I believe Doris was killed in Peoria and her body put back into his rental car and taken to the parking lot, which is actually a shared parking lot of EOS Gym and the restaurant. I think the gym was symbolic and the restaurant is being misinterpreted as the destination. Cuellar left a suicide note saying Doris had killed herself and he couldn't live without her, except she was shot in the back of the head and there was not splatter for that gunshot wound, so I believe she was killed elsewhere (likely Peoria).
Although Phoenix PD has not named him the suspect, he is her killer. I do not know why this took so long. I am happy to answer questions. Since there is not any suspect outstanding and we want to tell Doris' story in hopes it might help other victims of stalking. What that "help" is, we don't know yet, but we would like to make change in Doris' name. This was a completely senseless killing of a woman that had her whole life in front of her. --Steve Fischer, sf_investigates, Missing Persons Private Investigator (p.s I wrote this very quickly because I have a zoom meeting about to start, I apologize for any typos)

Thank you for this update.

Was any of this stalking behaviour reported to LE?

Did she have a restraining order?

She did not. Although a legal immigrant she felt she would be a burden by going through the courts. She reported it to the employer and also to local security at a Walmart on one occasion.
 
As many people know, restraining orders work sometimes, and don’t work much of the time. They get violated often, or the perpetrator may get arrested and released quickly. I’ve had to have one as many people have. Whether or not she had one is pretty irrelevant. Sounds like she was already filing things with police, telling her family, switching gyms, etc. she was taking many precautions. Rest in Peace, Doris.
 
PI says it looks like she was killed somewhere else because there is no sign of her being shot in the car. He also says the suspect left a suicide note trying to stage it to look like she had killed herself. Such a monster.

bbm Yes, a monster. At least there won't have to be a trial which would put even more agony on her family and on those who truly loved and enjoyed her.
May she rest in peace.

A newly released report details what led up to a Valley woman’s death after her body was found next to the body of her alleged stalker inside a car at a Phoenix steakhouse parking lot in July.

According to the report from the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner, 25-year-old Doris Aguilar died from a gunshot wound to the head. Her death was ruled a homicide.

The report says 51-year-old Juan Cuellar, the man who reportedly killed her, was a Lyft driver who lived in his car and was known to park at a Longhorn Steakhouse parking lot near 75th Avenue and Encanto Boulevard. Officials say a friend who repeatedly checked on Cuellar went to the parking lot on July 3 to bring him food.

There, he found Cuellar and Aguilar inside the vehicle. He believed they were sleeping, so he “left without disturbing them.” However, when he returned four days later, on July 7, he found them in the same position and called 911.
 

During the investigation, authorities found a notebook inside the vehicle, which appeared to be Cuellar’s handwritten notes about Aguilar, detailing his feelings for her.

However, authorities found one entry seemingly mentioning Aguilar’s death, reading, “It was an accident...I had my gun on the side of the chair and she picked it up. She didn’t know that the safety was off. I went to grab the gun and it went off. I panicked and left. I know it was going to be my fault no matter what. I couldn’t bear to be without her in my life so I went also to see if I can find her. I have a big heart and she has it always.”

Police have not confirmed any claims Cuellar made in his notebook.

Authorities say the note goes on, claiming that Cuellar drove her body around, talked to her while in shock and changed her clothes because he “did not want her to be dirty.” The entry then reads, “I hope she can forgive me. Please tell my family it was an accident and also my kids, please I’m sorry.”

The report says other entries contained suicidal notes from Cuellar, and others appeared angry at Aguilar.
