Vanessa Jessica Cocly, 23, of Orlando was reported missing by her family after she failed to return home from an outing on March 31, 2018. Her parents tracked her phone to the residence of her ex-boyfriend, Christian Ruben Valentin Penchi, and found her car near his home with her belongings inside. Concern deepened when she missed a new job at Disney and Easter dinner; her mother reported her missing on April 2, 2018.

Investigators learned Christian had left for Puerto Rico soon after Vanessa disappeared and had pawned a .380 caliber handgun. A search warrant at his condo on April 5, 2018, recovered Vanessa’s body in the bathroom with a gunshot wound to the head. Christian was arrested in Puerto Rico the next day and charged with first-degree murder.

What information might help fill gaps in the timeline between Vanessa’s disappearance on March 31 and the discovery of her body on April 5?
