Remains of missing Salinas mother found in Gilroy field

It took weeks to confirm her identity with the use of DNA.

GILROY, Calif. —
The investigation into a missing Salinas mother has now turned into a murder investigation after her remains were found in a Gilroy field.

Alyssa Salazar, a mother of two, was last seen in July of 2023. The 33-year-old was known to frequent the Gilroy area and family members filed a missing person’s report with Gilroy police back in August.

Family and police have confirmed with Action News 8 that her remains were found in a field back at the end of August, more than a month after Salazar was last seen.

But it took weeks to confirm her identity with the use of DNA, and just days ago the family got word from Gilroy police that the remains are those of the missing mother.

At this point investigators are not saying how Salazar might have been killed or if any arrests have been made in her case.

Police want to hear from anyone who may have information regarding the ongoing investigation.

A statement of facts from Jason Greathead, a detective with the Gilroy Police Department, said Salazar filed a police report in April of 2023 claiming that Escobedo, who was her boyfriend at the time, had raped and physically assaulted her. After the report, an arrest warrant was issued in May.

Salazar was last seen getting into Escobedo's gray Honda in Salinas on July 26. Police say the last time she communicated with a friend or family member was over the phone, three minutes after getting into Escobedo's car.

Two unnamed witnesses told police that they saw Escobedo next to a slumped-over Salazar in his car outside a trailer on Young Rd. in Gilroy around July 26. One of those witnesses told police that Escobedo admitted to shooting Salazar in his car, cutting her corpse into pieces in a bathtub in the trailer, and burning her body on the property.

During the investigation, detectives were led to a property in unincorporated Santa Clara County, where human remains were found. Police said Wednesday that the medical examiner confirmed the remains were of Salazar and that detectives believe her cause of death was a homicide.

Detectives have identified Salazar's ex-boyfriend, 31-year-old Iban Alfaro Escobedo, as the suspect. Escobedo was already in custody at the Santa Clara County Jail on charges related to a previous case against the victim, police said.

According to the GPD statement, authorities "were able to identify the suspect as ... Escobedo, a 31-year-old Gilroy resident." Police also said that Salazar and Escobedo "had a prior dating relationship."

"Escobedo is already in custody at the Santa Clara County Jail on charges related to a previous case involving the victim," the statement reads. "With the new developments from this investigation, he will now face charges for the murder of Alyssa Salazar."

A report from a local news outlet, KTVU, said that Escobedo was initially arrested in his car on Aug. 30 and that at the time, stains were discovered within the car, which later testing confirmed was blood.

Toney tells PEOPLE that another witness had allegedly told police that the suspect admitted to them that he shot Salazar, cut up her body and then burned her remains.

Toney tells PEOPLE in April, Salazar had filed a police report claiming that Escobedo, who was her boyfriend at the time, had raped and physically assaulted her. An arrest warrant for Escobedo was then issued in May.

According to documents seen by The Mercury News, in July, family members claimed that Escobedo had threatened to kill Salazar and her family if they pursued the April claims.

Escobedo's arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday, however, multiple outlets reported that he did not attend court.

"May God never have your daughters run into a man like you. You're a pig," the victim's sister Jessica Salazar said outside the court on Wednesday, per KTVU. "Alyssa will come to you every night in your dreams, and I hope you will see her every time you look at me and my sister. I hope you see her face," she continued.

One of those witnesses told police that Escobedo admitted to shooting Salazar in his car, cutting her corpse into pieces in a bathtub in the trailer, and burning her body on the property.

Escobedo was arrested on Aug. 30 while driving his gray Honda. Police say they found a handgun in the car. Blood stains on the passenger seat had the same DNA profile as Salazar, according to investigators.

[..]

Blood stains with Salazar's profile were found in a bathtub in the trailer, and a burn barrel next to the trailer contained remnants of ribs, a skull and a hand.
______________________________________

So the victim filed a police report against the defendant in April after he assaulted and raped her and a warrant was issued in May. Was the warrant never executed? This is so sad. AS finally had the strength to report this loser and he remained free to kill her and dismember and burn her body 90 days later.

As KRON4 reports, Gilroy Police Department Detective Jason Greathead wrote in a police report that neighbors witnessed fires in two burn barrels next to a trailer occupied by Escobedo and his sister which began on July 26. Escobedo also allegedly told a neighbor that he had shot Salazar in his car, cut up her body in the trailer's bathtub, and burned it in the barrels.

Following Escobedo's arrest, investigators found what have turned out to be Salazar’s skull, hand, and rib bones in in the barrels. Also, "red-brown stains [were found] on the front passenger door frame and seat foam" of Escobedo's car which came back positive for blood, also Salazar's.

Escobedo has reportedly admitted his crimes to police, as the Chronicle reports. He was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, and he has been custody at the Santa Clara County jail without bail since late August.

This is the second high-profile case of domestic violence dismemberment in the Bay Area this summer. The other was the case of 27-year-old Rachel Elizabeth Imani Buckner, which as of Tuesday is moving ahead to trial, after a three-day preliminary hearing. Buckner's boyfriend, Joseph Carl Roberts, is accused of killing Buckner in the Pleasanton apartment they shared, dismembering her body, and disposing of it partly on an Alameda shoreline. Parts of Buckner's remains, including her head and hands, still have not been found.
