Avondale Police Renew Call for Globe-Area Video in Search for Missing Isabella Comas

Evidence from her blood-stained car led detectives to conclude she may have suffered a life-threatening injury.

Overview

  • Detectives say the recovered Hyundai contained a large amount of blood and a removed front passenger seat, indicating an injury that could be unsurvivable if untreated.
  • Police say Tommy Rodriguez, identified as Comas' boyfriend, remains a person of interest and has been booked on theft of means of transportation and criminal-damage charges, though he has not been accused of homicide.
  • Investigators report Rodriguez was seen driving Comas' car in the Globe area between about 1:30 a.m. and 3 a.m. on Jan. 12 before the vehicle was later found abandoned in Phoenix.
  • The removed seat, described as brown cloth and believed to be bloodstained, has not been located, and officers are asking residents to look for it on surveillance footage or in the area.
  • Police say a passerby found Comas' phone at a Phoenix recycling center and gave it to Rodriguez, who returned it to the family before it was turned over to investigators.
