Rivera’s family said she leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter and describe her as kind, funny and loving."We went every single day, hours, hours at a time looking for my sister," said Martha Lee Fred. "She didn’t deserve to be buried in a park. She didn’t deserve that.
Otero was on parole for that case and had a GPS-tracking ankle monitor which sources say helped detectives narrow him down as a person of interest.Based on the GPS tracker and more developing evidence, sources say police believe Otero killed the woman and brought her a few miles away to the scene in Fox Chase and buried her body.Police are asking for the public’s help in locating Otero, who they’re calling a person of interest in the case."It’s an ongoing investigation.
