Both police and Kevin Annabel did not believe this letter was actually written by Cecilia (via Unsolved Mysteries). Annabel described her as being “obsessed” with Alfredo and would have never left. Police agreed and stated they believed a “third party” was involved. Investigators discovered that Cecilia had received a strange phone call six months before she disappeared.
An unidentified woman claimed to have a video of Alfredo kissing another woman. She told Cecilia she would call again to set up a meeting to view the video for herself. The woman never called again. Per Unsolved Mysteries Wiki, weeks before Cecilia’s disappearance, another phone call came. This time, a woman claiming to be Alfredo’s co-worker stated that they were going to give him a surprise baby shower. She wanted Cecilia to pick out a piece of furniture but to keep it a surprise.
They agreed to meet on the day she disappeared. Investigators uncovered that there was never a shower planned and whoever had called did not work with Alfredo at all. The Charley Project reports that ultimately, police believe Alfredo is involved in his wife’s and young stepson’s disappearance. However, he claims to be innocent and that the mother and son left “voluntarily.” Neither Cecilia Newball or Rene Perez have been seen since September, 1994. If still alive, they would be 60 and 33 respectively.
