SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - UPDATED STORY: Police: Boyfriend arrested, confesses to kidnapping, killing pregnant girlfriend in SW Miami-Dade
Police sources have confirmed to 7News that human remains have been found amid the search for a pregnant woman who was abducted from a house where she was working in Southwest Miami-Dade.
Law enforcement sources confirmed the development to 7News Wednesday evening.
Officials said that they can’t confirm that the remains are those of 27-year-old Andreae Lloyd. The medical examiner has also arrived at the scene.
In another major development in the case, Miami-Dade Police said that they have detained Lloyd’s boyfriend after he was seen by family members Wednesday morning.
“A family member of Andreae Lloyd had observed a male who happens to be the boyfriend of Andreae Lloyd in a heavily wooded area in the area of 130th Avenue and Southwest 328th Street,” said Miami-Dade Police detective Angel Rodriguez. “The family member called us. We responded immediately. We observed the boyfriend, and we have detained him.”
The boyfriend is currently being questioned by police.
Rodriguez added that a cadaver dog also alerted them to something nearby where the boyfriend was spotted.
“One of our canines alerted to an area, a heavily wooded area in that location,” he said.
Family members of Lloyd showed up at the scene near Southwest 328th Street and 127th Avenue, Wednesday. Some of them could be seen crying and overcome with emotion.
Police said Lloyd was working at a home as a caretaker when, just after midnight on Tuesday, a man came to the home, beat her, dragged her out and put her inside of her car and took off in an unknown direction.
“It had to take two people. Somebody to take one person there and drop them off because they took her car with her,” said her father Arnold Lloyd.
“It does seem like an unusual case. The main thing to remember at this point is that this young lady appears to have been taken against her will,” said Miami-Dade Police detective Chris Thomas.
Lloyd’s family said she is a mother of two and is a few weeks pregnant with her third child. They are holding out hope that she will be found soon.
“I think she’s alive, probably tied up or something like that. That’s what I’m thinking,” her father said.
Police are searching for Lloyd’s white Honda Civic with a Florida License plate with the number Y650DL.
Anyone with information in this case is asked to call Miami-Dade Police.
