Lizzbeth's life wasn't easy. At the age of 7 She had to take care of her 4-year-old sister. She became a mother to her. Her sister was all she had. She came to the United States at the age of 15 and started working immediately. Her life wasn't easy at first. At the age of 19 she gave birth to her daughter Astrid. Her life took a different turn, and she saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Her daughter became her everything. She knew that all her hard work had a meaning to it.

So glad to hear he has been arrested. I wonder who will defend this creep. I can take a guess.

The most dangerous time for these women at the hands of their soon to be ex's, is right before and right after they leave. More support services and education need to be given to battered and verbally abused women. I don't think they believe the man they once shared a bed with would ever anger to the point of killing them. It's just all so sad. I hope he spends the rest of his life in jail, and that's not even enough.

We can't bring you back Lizzbeth, but we can fight to hold those responsible for your death.
You didn't deserve this.

Jonnathan Jara-Aucapina, 30, of New Haven, pleaded guilty before Judge Gerald L. Harmon to a charge of murder, according to New Haven Judicial District State’s Attorney John P. Doyle, Jr. Under the plea agreement, Jara-Aucapina faces a total effective sentence of 25 years in prison when he is sentenced in New Haven Superior Court on April 2.

According to court records, on July 3, 2020, Jara-Aucapina reported Lizzbeth Aleman-Popoca, his longtime girlfriend and mother of his daughter, missing.

During the investigation, the East Haven Police Department learned that before Jara-Aucapina filed a missing person report, he killed Aleman-Popoca and buried her in a shallow grave behind LoMonaco’s Restaurant in Branford, where he was a part-time employee, officials said.

In short, Jonathan concocted a story that Lizzbeth had ran off when he knew she was already dead. He then used this story to lie to her family, her loved ones, and then eventually law enforcement when her family basically forced him to report her missing. After this initial missing persons report, Jonathan continued to lie to investigators and also tried to conceal where he had buried her," said East Haven Chief of Police Ed Lennon said at the time of his arrest.
