Under questioning soon after Victoria was killed on Aug. 23, Gonzales told Albuquerque police he began dating Michelle three weeks earlier, after they met on the dating app Plenty of Fish.
He told police he took care of Victoria while Michelle was at work.
However, he denied being responsible for the girl’s death or sexual assault, and his attorney tells PEOPLE he is waiting for DNA evidence.
“She [Victoria] loved me, you know,” Gonzales told police, according to interview transcripts. “She would always love — you know what I mean. She was, ‘Hey, Fabian,’ and we’d always smile.”
“That’s how I am with my kids, you know?” Gonzales continued, adding, “[Victoria is] real active, she’s cool. You know what I mean? She’s all grown up, you know, for her age.”
