It's expected to take several months to extradite Cabrera to the U.S. and he will remain in detention during that time, authorities said. The remains of 33-year-old Sheylla Cabrera, also known as Sheylla Lisbet Gutiérrez Rosillo, were found in the national forest Aug. 16 by the Montrose Search and Rescue Team, according to a statement from the Sheriff's Department.

On Aug. 12, the Sheriff's Department Lancaster station took a missing persons report on Sheylla, officials said.
