Found Deceased AZ - Isabel Mercedes Celis, 6, Tucson, 20 April 2012 *Arrest* #26

[Knox]

However, six years later there have still been no arrests.

On March, 31, 2017, Police Chief Chris Magnus held a news conference and said the remains of Isabel Celis had been found in a rural area of Pima County.

He also said it wasn’t happenstance they found her but wouldn’t elaborate.

In May of 2017, News 4 Tucson obtained a copy of the case summary report dated March 3rd.

That was just a few weeks prior to Chief Magnus announcement and the date matches the date of death listed on flyers handed out at Isabel Celis Memorial.

The report said an unidentified man somehow involved in the investigation said he was afraid for his family following TPD’s announcement.

Another report showed that an unidentified man was questioned regarding the death of Celis.

He adamantly denied any involvement, and it is not known if he is still under investigation.

When I first saw those two pics side by side, I thought it was an age progressed pic of Isa and not a totally different person.

This case is another reminder that while we are criticizing LE, demanding info and believing they don't know what they're doing and can't solve the case...they're working.
