"Detectives arrested Romo Diaz on Sept. 16, and two days later, county prosecutors charged Romo with murder. She has pleaded not guilty. According to the murder charge, Romo Diaz is accused of killing Lopez on Sept. 7. Lopez's body was found in South Los Angeles after family members filed a missing persons report and reportedly tracked her to a scorched Honda Civic that was being held at a tow yard on West Gage Avenue."
"L.A. City firefighters extinguished the vehicle fire but did not check inside the car and did not see the woman's remains, according to two sources familiar with the investigation. The tow yard operator called the LAPD when family members arrived and said they wanted to look in the car, so Missing Persons Unit investigators rushed to the scene and found the woman's partially burned body in the trunk on Sept. 9, according to police."
