Investigators traced the last known movements of Miya to her apartment complex, where evidence showed her unit had been accessed with a master key by Armando Manuel Caballero, a maintenance worker who had reportedly made unwanted advances toward her. After Miya was reported missing, Caballero was later found dead from an apparent suicide, leaving behind unanswered questions. Less than a week after her disappearance, Miya’s body was discovered in a wooded area outside Orlando, bound with duct tape — a tragic end to a promising life.
