Family mourns after Colorado teen found dead in Florida
AURORA - Eighteen year old Shantay Huntington wanted to travel and find a place to settle down with her boyfriend. But just one month after she left her home in Aurora, she was dead.
Shantay's body was found about a week and a half ago in the town of Loxahatchee, in Palm Beach County, Florida. She was wrapped in a blue sheet.
Shantay's mother Margaret Leyba says she was very close with her always smiling 18-year-old. So when in late April Shantay came to tell her she wanted to travel and was leaving with her boyfriend, Margaret says she tried to talk her out of it.
"Cause she was so young you know," said Leyba. "She was like, I'll be okay Mom. This is what I want to do."
That was the last time Leyba saw her daughter alive. Less than a month later, on May 23, Shantay's boyfriend called, saying she was missing.
