A recent investigation by Chino Hills authorities led to the discovery of a missing Southern California woman and the arrest of her boyfriend, who now faces multiple charges. The woman was found in a vehicle during a traffic stop, with significant injuries, in the aftermath of a missing person alert issued earlier this week.
The inquiry began early Tuesday morning when Chino Hills deputies were called to the 4300 block of Francis Avenue due to the disappearance of the woman under suspicious conditions, after some time detectives pinpointed a vehicle believed to be connected to the case and kept tabs on a residence in the 3100 block of Vintage Place in Jurupa Valley. The missing woman and her boyfriend, 52-year-old Javier Ramirez, were located in the said vehicle; the woman was then rushed to Riverside Community Hospital for treatment of her injuries, according to the SBSD - Chino Hills Police Department.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department acknowledged the couple's romantic involvement, and subsequent investigations revealed that the woman had been assaulted and imprisoned by Ramirez for two days, Ramirez was taken into custody on suspicions that spanned kidnapping, domestic violence, false imprisonment, among others, as detailed in an official KTLA report.
After his arrest, Ramirez faced allegations including domestic violence, kidnapping, false imprisonment, battery with serious bodily injury, dissuading a victim, and violation of a court order he was booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside; these developments emerged from a blend of interviews with acquaintances, leads, and observation by detectives of the Chino Hills Police Department.
