Teen Mother Wanted in Newborn’s Murder Near Moss Landing; Her Father Accused of Incest
Investigators say Flock cameras identified a vehicle in 53 hours as they searched for the girl and Sergio Galvez Perez.
- On Monday, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office launched a search for 38-year-old Sergio Galvez Perez and his 14-year-old daughter following discovery of a dead newborn, Baby Angelita, found on August 1 near Moss Landing.
- Authorities allege the teenager gave birth to the infant on the roadside before leaving her behind; investigators confirmed Perez is the biological father of both the teen and the deceased newborn, who showed signs of traumatic injury.
- Detectives identified a vehicle of interest within 53 hours using Flock automated license plate reader cameras; the girl's mother, 36-year-old Ofelia Garcia Ortega, was arrested on child endangerment charges and later posted bail.
- Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto urged the public to call 911 if they spot Perez, emphasizing the teenager is a victim of sexual abuse and may be in danger while concealed by her father.
- A Superior Court judge issued an arrest warrant for the girl on suspicion of murder, while Perez faces charges including incest, lewd acts with a minor, and child concealment; the Sheriff's Office noted allegations remain unproven.
