The body of José Rivera Tejeda, aged 20, was found beaten and in a state of decomposition in a tank in the Dominican Republic in late May, more than a month after she disappeared.
Now her family in New York City wonders why four days of surveillance footage, which can contain clues about Rivera Tejeda’s death.
José’s niece, Yari Tejeda, told Pix: “Right above where they found him, there is a security camera. From 20 to 18 April, they deleted the video”.

There are images of the officials who found the seriously decomposed body, according to the local media. In addition, they assured that the man’s body showed evidence of trauma.
José, who had no criminal record, disappeared on 19 April in Los Mina, but last week, neighbors reported a bad smell coming from a house, according to The Sun.
Yari said: “We have video footage of him walking. In fact, they found the body around the block where he was last seen.”

“The body was already in very bad condition. Preliminary results show that he was beaten”, he added.
It should be mentioned that this case is very similar to the one that occurred in Mexico, where a young woman named Debanhi Escobar disappeared in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, same who disappeared after being caught walking through a motel of the entity.
Debanhi, from 18 years old, was later found in an abandoned cistern a few meters from where she was last seen, coming out of a taxi in that northern state.
Investigators from the Nuevo León State Attorney General’s Office have not been able to give a solid version of Escobar’s disappearance to date.
