Chester remains may be Latoyia

The remains of a woman that may be Latoyia Figeuroa have been found just outside the city.

Philadelphia police said they believe remains recovered in neighboring Chester may be those of Figueroa, and also said they had a person in custody in the case. Inspector William Colarulo said early Saturday, Aug. 20, that he could not confirm that the remains were those of Figueroa, but investigators believed that to be the case. Colarulo said the person in custody had not been arrested or charged.

Channel 10 has announced the body was discovered just after midnight this morning and her boyfriend is now in police custody after being caught trying to move the body. No charges have been filed yet, but there will be a press conference at 10 this morning.
