Body believed to be missing woman Miya Marcano has been found, sheriff says

Orange County Sheriff John Mina announced that deputies located what they believe to be the body of missing woman Miya Marcano.

Authorities confirmed during a press conference Saturday (Oct 2) that a body was found near a troubled condominium complex in Orange County.

An official identification has not been made by the medical examiner, but authorities are very confident it is Marcano. Marcano’s purse with her identification and belongings was found with the body.

Missing Woman Miya Marcano

Marcano had been attending Valencia College in Orlando.

She had moved there from Pembroke Pines, where she was a graduate of Flanagan High School.

Suspect

Investigators believe that a maintenance worker at an Orange County complex, the Arden Villas, used a master key fob on Sept. 24 to break into her apartment and abduct her.

That man, Armando Caballero, was found dead on Sept. 27 at a different apartment complex in Seminole County in an apparent suicide. Since then, investigators have been searching across Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties.
