Man, Teen Girl Sought After Newborn Found Dead Near California's Highway 1
Investigators say the newborn died from traumatic injuries after the teen gave birth by the road and left her, while the father faces multiple sex-crime warrants.
- On Monday, Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto announced a search for a 14-year-old girl and her father, Sergio Galvez Perez, following the August 1 discovery of a newborn nicknamed "Baby Angelita" found dead near a strawberry field.
- Investigators believe Perez impregnated the girl when she was 13, and he now faces felony charges including incest, child sex crimes, and concealment as he actively hides the teenager from law enforcement.
- Detectives used automated Flock license plate readers to identify suspects within 53 hours of the discovery, while a post-mortem forensic examination of the infant found signs of traumatic injury.
- A murder warrant has been issued for the 14-year-old, while 36-year-old Ofelia Garcia Ortega was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and subsequently released after posting bail.
- Officials remain uncertain if the pair is still in the United States or has fled to Tierra Blanca, Mexico, urging the public to call 911 rather than approach the fugitives.
