TX - Caesar & Adriana Coronado, 14, murdered, Katy, 12 March 2016

[DexterMorgan]

Meth can cause a house guests to trip out. She was in her pajamas. So maybe dad had someone over and a argument escalated while that person was on meth?

 

[sweetcaro]

So sad to hear the news that she was found murdered too. I was trying to remain positive. Hope there is a resolution asap.

Multiple gunshot wounds. Poor baby. Arms around her mom.

I do know that according to the information that was released about the vigil that was held it was reported that they were at her apartment located at Sevona Park Row. So this is where I am basing my information above on.

I read that too but the article below says the vigil was held at her aunt's house.

Oh, the joy of conflicting news reports. [emoji849]
Although, it's possible (& it wouldn't surprise me) that they lived in the same neighborhood.

This is what I've got as far as timeline/locations go:

Friday Evening - Mom spoke with Adriana & dad

Approx. 1 AM on Saturday Morning - Adriana & dad were last seen (or last known to be alive) somewhere near their home in Katy, TX

Saturday Afternoon/Evening - Friends showed up at Adriana's house for a planned get together but no one appeared to be home & she did not respond to their texts

~ 12 PM on Sunday - Dad's body was discovered on rural property near Madisonville, TX (Google places Madisonville, TX around 101 miles away from Katy, TX; one hour and 25 minutes drive); his body was badly burned and had multiple gunshot wounds

> 10:30 PM on Sunday - LE responded to a call about a truck on fire near 1305 Interstate I-45 S, Conroe, TX and discovered dad's burned truck

Katy, TX to Conroe, TX - 57.9 miles
Madisonville, TX to Conroe, TX - 57.5 miles

~12 PM on Wednesday - LE responded to a call from a gardener who discovered Adriana's body in the 11100 block of Mayfield in Western Houston, TX (I don't know the exact address of AC's home but the distance from the body to Katy, TX--in general--is 16 miles); LE estimates the body had been there at least 24-48 hrs.


ETA: I think maybe dad became aware somehow that he and his daughter were in great danger, so he woke up Adriana and tried to get both of them out of dodge. Unfortunately, he wasn't successful and these guys caught up with them. They likely killed AC right away because she would be considered a problem for them (as she could ID them later) and disposed of her body as quickly as possible (that's why she wasn't burned and found near her home, etc.). I think they killed dad later, disposed of his body (after burning it because this kill was personal and they could possibly be linked to him much easier than to his daughter), and then disposed of the truck. That's my theory.

Thanks :wave: :bump:

I believe there were 2 Vigils. One at Adriana's apt. complex when she was still considered missing. Her friends appear in that link. It's somewhere here. Then another Vigil after Adriana was found. At the Aunts house where Mom is staying.

 

[pappa rob]

This is so aggravating, I hope that LE has a handle on this and the responsible are caught quickly. RIP Caesar and Adriana, you deserved so much better than this.

A few days ago I would come back here every now and then with the hope that Adriana was found alive. Now I want news that the suspects have been identified and caught. I don't what the suspects wanted the father for - perceived or actual - but I can't imagine murder was justified. And certainly NOTHING he did justifies killing a 14 year old girl with her life ahead of her.

The sounds of heartbreak, a mother’s wailing sobs, poured from a home near Katy Saturday afternoon, where family and friends of Adriana Coronado Cavazos gathered to mourn, pray and sing for her.

[...]

Adriana's mother, Adriana Cavazos, spoke out through her sobs.

Translated from Spanish, Cavazos said: "I lost my two loves, the two people I loved most in the world. My little girl and my man. They are gone and they left me alone."

[...]

"I hope the police do their job and catch those evil people. They took away what I loved most in this world," Cavazos said

This was the first vigil held by her friends and family prior to her being located/ or the information being released that she had been located.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have spent hours on google maps and streetview looking at apartment complexes based on this and other tweets

Waiting on vigil to start for missing 14-year-old Adriana Coronado after her father was found murdered #KHOU11

I thought I'd found it but wasn't sure and now it's confirmed I can add the vigil to the map!

 

[skibaboo]

So Adriana's body was found 6 miles from home, Caesars roughly 100 miles from home. His truck was dumped and burned roughly half way between the 2.

Case Map



I have 2 theories. I think the perp(s) are from the Houston area. Did they attempt to set up Caesar for Adriana's murder? Is that why he was taken so far north, killed and burned? Pretty poor attempt if so, he was identified very fast. Or my first theory I had, Adriana was held back as leverage for something happening up north.

 

[tlcya]

I am flummoxed. The presumption that Adriana witnessed her father's murder doesn't seem to fit with the other known facts for me. I am waiting for more info in hopes that eventually I will understand why this is the operating theory from LE. To me, the proximity of her body to her residence leads me to think she was killed at or near home and disposed of rather quickly while it seems like her father was taken or made to go some distance from home before being killed and disposed of. The idea that both were killed in the same area with one being disposed of near there and the other being taken somewhere else to be disposed of makes no sense in my mind.

you might be onto something here. suppose dad had owe someone and they came to collect. the perps hold onto Adriana til the deed was done, but something happen.

I tend to believe they were separated in order to control the father. Either they were killed at the same time by two different killers working together or Adriana was killed first while they were separated. If Adriana was killed first, I can't imagine what the father would have done if he were present and saw his only child murdered. He might take on the attitude that he had nothing to live for at that point. At least, if I were the killers I would not have killed her in front of him in the city for fear of what he might do - that is, I would lose control over him. I can't see them killing him in front of her north of Conroe (if that was the crime scene) and driving her back to Houston to kill her.

If she was shot in Houston you would think someone in the apartment complex or elsewhere would have heard the multiple shots.

Me too, but perhaps according to the case map, they were forced to drive north to Walker County, killed and dumped him there and then drove back to Houston with her and the truck, dumping the truck in Conroe then on to Houston, killing and dumping her in West Houston having no further need of her.
My guess is that they are from Houston.

They might have separated them and told dad if he did so-and-so Adriana would not be harmed and they would be reunited and set free afterwards. He would likely have complied. However the perps had no intention to do so. They may have killed Adriana right away after dad left with 'the other(s)' and dad thought she was still alive. Then after he did what he was asked to do he was killed too. They might not have used his truck to take him where they did either. The person with Adriana was unbeknownst to dad in charge of killing her and getting rid of the truck and would then be picked up after they were done with dad.

:cow: my theory only.

Could Adriana have been trying to get away and was shot while fleeing?

ETA: Never mind. Gee, that couldn't have happened if she did witness her father's murder.

I think your question is a relevant one to consider.

I think LE originally believed she witnessed the murder before they discovered her body close to home, but now they may not necessarily think that. I think it's still being reported that way because LE hasn't clarified what exactly they believe happened since then. I think news reporters may just be leaving that info in their updated articles.
