A 51-year-old Salton City man was arrested on Friday morning, Feb. 13, for the murder of missing Riverside County 17-year-old T’Neya Tovar, according to Imperial County authorities.
About 07:30 a.m., the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team, in collaboration with the FBI, served a search warrant at a residence in the 2800 block of Harlequin Court in Salton City.
As members of the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team made contact at the residence, a male subject, later identified as Abraham Feinbloom, was observed jumping a fence to the residence in what appeared to be an attempt to evade law enforcement. Feinbloom was immediately taken into custody by law enforcement personnel and turned over to agents with the FBI for questioning while the residence was processed for evidence, according to the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office.
Feinbloom was subsequently arrested and booked into the Imperial County jail on suspicion of murder and resisting a peace officer. Feinbloom is being held without bail.
T’Neya was reported missing on Dec. 1, 2025, out of Riverside County. This past week, remains of a human leg found in Salton City tested positive for shared DNA between T’Neya and her mother.
The find of the remains dates back to Dec. 21, 2025, when a human leg showing signs of decomposition was found near Portsmouth Avenue and Newhaven Court in the area of Vista Delmar near Salton City.
Around 4:22 p.m. Dec. 21, Imperial County sheriff’s deputies from the Salton City Sub Station responded to the finding of the remains. Shortly after the deputies’ arrival, the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office Coroner’s Unit was notified and arrived on scene to take over the investigation as well as to document the scene.
The leg was collected by the Coroner’s Unit and later was sent to the county’s forensic pathologist for examination, according to officials. The pathologist was unable to provide a sex, age or race for the remains.
Over the next few weeks, the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office Coroner’s Unit and Scientific Investigations Units worked with outside agencies to attempt to develop a DNA profile for the remains and searched several other neighboring agencies’ local DNA databases for a potential match. These attempts were unsuccessful and yielded no results.
On the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 6, SIU received a positive female match from DNA extracted from the remains and was able to identify the remains as a “Jane Doe,” however no other information was obtained at that time.
With this information and while looking into a missing female juvenile case, who was reported potentially being in the Salton City area, the mother of the missing juvenile was contacted and agreed to provide a DNA swab for comparison. The mother’s DNA swab was compared to that of the found remains through a rapid DNA analysis comparison and a positive match was made, identifying the found remains as the missing female juvenile reported out of Riverside County, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The capture of Feinbloom was a multi-agency investigation, and the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the FBI, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office and the Imperial County District Attorney’s Office for all the work involved that led to his arrest, according to the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office.
The Imperial County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend their condolences to the family of T’Neya Tovar and all those that were impacted by this tragic event.
Anyone with additional information related to this investigation is requested to contact Investigator Moreno at the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office at 442-265-2265.
The alleged Perp:
Try him, convict as possible, and fry him in the electric chair.

I love that area of California, JesusLand, Slab City
sailing on the Sultan sea and looking for tungsten in the sand.
Another middle-aged guy beyond the prime crime years.
This case is a break in the pattern.
My sympathies to the family of this dead 17 y/o.
My speculation, based on circumstantial evidence:
The Girl was expecting money for ‘services now rendered’ and previously agreed to by both parties.
The problem: Either she wanted more than originally agreed to, or the Older Guy didn’t want to pay at all.
An argument turned into a murder, an attempt to conceal evidence and essentially, a permanent loss of this man’s individual freedom.
Advice likely offered, but quickly ignored:
Don’t let your high school age daughter try to use people like Cardi-B or Rhihanna as role models.
Oy vey. This is a weird perp-victim combo. Under the circumstances, your “client fee dispute” hypothesis sounds plausible.
For a Sheriff office the size of Salton Sea, they sure have a lot of resources !!
All crime is bad. There are perps and victims of all races. In Riverside County, CA, blacks are 127%* more likely than average to be charged with a crime (see below).
That doesn’t mean an apparently white Jewish guy can’t be an evil murderer of a young black girl. He can. And be convicted. And if so, I’d hang him.
What are the proportions by race (excluding Latino from White) of the population of Riverside County, CA compared to the violent crime convictions?

Quick! Somebody pass Furry the smelling salts.
Of course. Still the news tells a certain story that the left wants to ignore. Maybe you do too.
Or she pulled a knife on him in a robbery attempt and he defended himself aggressively, too.
