According to the DOC, In August, 2001,
Juan Velazquez moved in with Virginia Venegas and her two young
children, 3-year old isabella and 12-year old Liana. On September 26,
2002, Venegas called 9-1-1, reporting that Liana was missing. The
Phoenix Police Department responded and a massive search for Liana
began. Venegas and Velazquez told the police that Velazquez had gone
to a local laundry mat earlier, and had left the arcadia door open.
Ms. Venegas was busy in the kitchen and assumed Liana had gone with
Velazquez. When Velazquez called home from the laundry mat, they
realized Liana was missing. While the police were searching for
Liana, her father arrived. He observed bruising on isabella's head
and took her to a nearby hospital. Among other injuries, isabella had
a skull fracture, swollen bruises on her face, and bruising on her
chest and back. Phoenix Police detectives interviewed Velazquez and
arrested him the next day, September 27, 2001. He admitted tripping
Liana several times, causing her to hit her head and finally lose
consciousness. He further admitted holding his hand over Liana's
mouth to keep her quiet, knowing that she could not breathe, and to
squeezing her around the rib cage. He also admitted that he had been
abusing both for approximately a month. On September 28, 2001, divers
found Liana's body in a canal, weighted down by a cement block which
Velazquez had tied to her with wire. She had been killed by a blow to
the head.
