Disappearance and Heartbreaking Outcome:
The family of Savanah Nicole Soto, an 18-year-old pregnant teenager due to give birth, and her boyfriend, Matthew Guerra, 22, is now grappling with profound grief after the young couple went missing on December 23.
Tragically, their bodies were discovered at the Colinas Medical Apartments on the northwest side, leaving the family shattered.
Concerns for Imminent Danger:
Soto was last seen at her Leon Valley apartment, and authorities had expressed concerns, stating she was in ‘imminent danger’ or involuntarily disappeared.
The 18-year-old, who was scheduled to be induced at the hospital on Saturday, never arrived, intensifying worries about her well-being.
A Desperate Plea from a Mother’s Broken Heart:
Gloria Cordova, Soto’s mother, tearfully expressed the heartbreak of losing her daughter, who was eagerly anticipating becoming a mother herself.
Cordova shared her plea, urging her daughter to come home: ‘Please come home. No one’s going to judge you. No one is going to say anything. I just want you to be home.’
Police Alerts and Unanswered Concerns:
The Leon Valley Police Department issued a CLEAR alert for Soto, describing her as a white female, 5-feet 1-inch tall, weighing 115 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Despite the desperate attempts to locate her, Soto’s whereabouts remained unknown. Cordova had last heard from her daughter on Friday afternoon but became alarmed when attempts to reach her on Saturday went unanswered.
Preparations for Motherhood and a Confounding Disappearance:
Cordova revealed that Soto had diligently prepared for motherhood, having completed the nursery and planned to have her mother present in the delivery room.
The sudden and unexplained disappearance has left the family bewildered, with Cordova emphasizing that her daughter would never voluntarily vanish.
Social Media Mobilization and Disturbing Allegations:
As concerns grew, Cordova turned to social media, posting a photo of the pregnant Soto and expressing worries about her safety, specifically mentioning concerns about her boyfriend.
Social media users rallied around the cause, forming a Facebook group, ‘Find Savannah Soto Discussion,’ with over 17,000 members actively engaging in the search.
Allegations of Abuse and Shocking Testimonies:
The disappearance took a disturbing turn on social media, with users accusing Soto’s boyfriend, Guerra, of abuse. TikTok videos depicting bruises and marks on Soto prompted allegations of mistreatment.
A self-proclaimed neighbor from last year testified on social media, claiming to have witnessed Guerra’s violent behavior towards Soto, including physical assaults.
Family Denials and Unresolved Questions:
Guerra’s mother vehemently denied the accusations against her son, stating, ‘I know my son, and he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her.’ She contended that the couple was taken against their will and defended her son against claims of being abusive.
These conflicting narratives leave many unanswered questions surrounding the tragic circumstances of Soto and Guerra’s untimely demise.
