Ana Soto, 26, of Escondido, California, was found dead on August 9, 2018. Her body was located in a burned SUV and showed multiple stab wounds and a gunshot wound to the heart. Ana’s death occurred the same day her sister, Veronica Soto Ortega, was found in her apartment with multiple stab wounds.

Investigators identified Juan Carlos Ortega, Veronica’s estranged husband, as the primary suspect. According to the investigation, Ortega had been outside his wife’s home for about an hour before entering through a window around 3 a.m. Their two daughters were asleep during the incident. Authorities allege Ortega stabbed both women, then locked the children in a bedroom, covered Veronica’s body with a blanket, moved Ana’s body to an SUV and set the vehicle on fire. Ortega initially denied involvement and later admitted to the killings during police questioning; the defense noted the murder weapons were not recovered.

Does anyone have information about Ana, Veronica, or the events of that night that could help clarify what happened?
