For years, the family of Rita Gutierrez-Garcia has been left with questions about the night she disappeared in March 2018. On Friday, they finally watched her killer be sentenced for her murder.
“I know where Rita is, I know it’s just her body we were missing,” her mother Diane Romero said.
“Rita will be victorious,” her sister Jessica Reyes-Romero said outside the Boulder County Justice Center in 2021. “We did not have evidence of how she died where she was or any evidence pointing to her killer,” he said. “I was insane, I didn’t know how to hold my emotions. I punched her, I choked her, I dragged her to my car, and I strangled her, I killed her,” Figueroa told the courtroom.
