The family of a La Palma woman who was allegedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend in Anaheim is seeking justice, hoping the public will help them heal: 'She didn't deserve it, and if there's women that know this man, please say something. Don't be afraid.'
Mirelle Mateus has been a light in the lives of her mom Alice and older sister Sandy her entire life.
"She came to illuminate our lives," Alice said. "Ever since she was born, that light in her eyes, the angel that God gifted to me in that moment, changed our lives forever.""My little girl was a miracle in my life," Alice said. However, on March 17, the mother's worst nightmare became a reality after she noticed her daughter was missing. She sensed something was wrong and went to Mirelle's ex-boyfriend's apartment in Anaheim. Alice said she found it unlocked and went inside.
"That is when I found my daughter dead in the bathroom," Alice said. "It was I who found her dead in the bathroom. It was not the police. The system failed me."Romo was arrested in Riverside County and booked for murder in connection with the 24-year-old's death. Investigators believe Romo has assaulted other women in the past and are asking any potential victims to come forward.
