PHILADELPHIA (AP) Philadelphia police said they believe remains recovered in nearby Chester may be those of a pregnant woman missing for a month, and also said they had a person in custody in the case.
Inspector William Colarulo said early Saturday that he could not confirm that the remains were those of 24-year-old
LaToyia Figueroa, whose disappearance has gained national attention, but investigators believed that to be the case.
We have strong reason to believe that it is her, Colarulo said.
Colarulo said the person in custody had not been arrested or charged. He said he could not comment on whether the person had any connection to the property where the remains were recovered.
Police scheduled a 10 a.m. Saturday news conference in Philadelphia on the case.
The remains were recovered in a grassy, partially wooded lot near homes and a road in Chester, about 13 miles southwest of Philadelphia, cordoned off by yellow police tape Saturday morning.
A few dozen members of the Figueroa family and supporters arrived at the scene shortly after daybreak, clustering close to the police tape and embracing each other. They declined to comment to reporters, except for a cousin of Figueroas, Philadelphia City Councilman Juan Ramos.
Our hearts our broken ... we just want to spend some time here and take a look at this place where LaToyia unfairly was murdered, said Ramos, who was acting as a family spokesman.
