Poor guy who found the body. My prayers are with him, that he will not be haunted by the horror for the rest of his life.

This update is very confusing. Is it implying that the caller that discovered the body is the arrested suspect?? If not, then the 911 call doesn't really have anything to do with the arrest of the suspect.

It said they had arrested one Alejandro Avial, aged 27, but did not say whether this was in Fresno, or Orange County, or Riverside County.

So much reference to Elsinore that I do believe he must live out there, near where body was left and in Riverside Co of course.

(From KFI 640Los Angles)

Arrested man's name probably spelled ALEXANDRO AVILA

They searched his mom's apartment yesterday, Lake Elsinore or Lake Arrowhead (?)

Neighbors reported Avila's suspicious behaviour around his car yesterday. Avila's story has reportedly changed several times.

THE 911 CALLER WHO FOUND BODY IS NOT A SUSPECT.

That poor guy who found the body - he even said on the 911 tape it might be "the little girl on the news." He had to take the authorities to where he found the body. He will definitely be haunted by this for - ever.

They arrested Alejandro Avila - 27. Apparently he told his mom at the time of Samantha's abduction he was in Ontario - talking to her on his cell phone. While he was being detained yesterday, he told his mom he was being held at a hotel by deputies awaiting test results from the crime scene. It sounds like they found something to match to him.

I can still only continue to pray for Samantha's family & friends. You can never have closure in something like this.

We should make it clear that they didn't say he was the one who did it or that he was the one they suspected of doing it. He was arrested in connection with the murder. No details were given as to why he was arrested. More info at 6:00 PM.
