Campos’ family, worried when she didn’t return, used a cellphone tracking app to locate her body on July 15. A pregnant teen’s body autopsy the next day ruled her death a homicide, though the initial evidence at the scene did not explain how she died. Campos was seven months pregnant, and Monroy was identified as the father of her unborn child.
