Reyna Hernandez, a hairdresser and business owner in Renton, was found dead in Mexico after missing for nearly two weeks, Renton detectives confirmed.

Hernandez, 54, had been missing since Feb. 26 and was being investigated as a possible kidnapping. Detectives said there were signs she was taken against her will. On March 8, detectives were alerted to a news article in Mexicali about an unidentified body found in a local cemetery on the Tijuana Highway. Investigators contacted Mexican authorities and were able to identify Hernandez this past聽weekend.

“This is the worst possible outcome, and our hearts go out to Reyna鈥檚 family and friends,” Investigations Commander Chandler Swain said, according to a press release. “We are working closely with Mexicali police and our U.S. Federal partners to determine when and where Reyna was killed.”

A suspect was subsequently arrested in the case on unrelated charges. The suspect, a 61-year-old Renton resident, is currently in custody in Mexico, where they were also able to recover Hernandez鈥檚 vehicle. Detectives confirmed with 成人X站 Newsradio that this appeared to be a domestic violence crime.

Hernandez had not contacted her family or the hair salon she owns and works at, , since Feb. 26.

Police searched a Renton home and investigators spoke to two men. Authorities said they still need to talk to the third man, but as of March 8, he was nowhere to be found. It is unclear if he is the suspect detained in Mexico currently.

“She always tells everyone where she’s at or what she’s going to do, whether she’s going on vacation, but she never leaves her business just like that,” Veronica Tapia, a friend of Hernandez’s for approximately 10 years, told while Hernandez was still missing.

Tapia claimed Hernandez is not only a good person, but is extremely known and loved within the community.

German Sahagun, whose family owns a Mexican restaurant next door to Hernandez’s salon, said, despite her generally being a “very outspoken, loud, friendly” person, Hernandez’ demeanor seemed unusual the last time he saw her 鈥� two days before she went missing, according to .

“She was kind of quiet that day, which I thought was kind of odd,” he said. “Usually, she would say my nickname, she would call me Roman as a nickname. That day, she didn’t really respond to me. I said hello to her first, which she usually says hi to me first. I noticed [it] was kind of odd.”

Sahagun has known Hernandez for a decade through being neighbors at work.

Once the time and manner of death are confirmed, detectives can determine where the homicide was committed. If it happened in the U.S., authorities would seek to extradite the suspect to face charges in that jurisdiction.
