Suspect in Custody in Teen's Murder
A 19-year-old man is behind bars and facing charges of murder and sexual assault in the death of 15-year-old Alyssa Otremba.The missing teen's burned body was discovered over the weekend in a desert area near her home in northwest Las Vegas.
Metro police say Javier Righetti was arrested less than a mile from where Otremba's body was found Saturday near U.S. Route 95 at Oso Blanca Road and Grand Teton Drive.
Police believe the murder was random. They say Otremba's body showed signs of blunt force trauma and multiple stab wounds. Otremba was reported missing Friday night after sending her mother a text message saying her cell phone was dying and she was walking home. The girl never returned.
Righetti is set for a court hearing Wednesday on charges including murder, sexual assault, kidnapping and robbery.
I am glad that the area is pissed about this one. They should be. I like the comment on the story and would like to know the answer as well. So sick of all the crap here. I look forward to moving on.
A girl walking home? Bad judgment on her part. Her parents should have been laying rubber going to find her, too.
ReplyDeleteI know. Especially here. I hate when my niece or nephew is out alone. Bug has a very small area to play outside because we just don't trust the area. Part of me being an at home Mom is to pick her up and drive her anywhere that is needed.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad story.
