Overview
- Leon Alejandro Jr., 21, and Samantha Angeline Feliz, 20, were arrested in Rockingham, North Carolina, on Wednesday and are held without bond pending extradition to Broward County.
- Broward investigators have charged the pair with aggravated manslaughter of a child and multiple evidence- and reporting-related offenses.
- Detectives say they recovered photos of the pregnancy and the infant, text messages, baby clothing, a positive pregnancy test and blood-stained towels tied by DNA to the couple’s biological child.
- Authorities allege family members saw the infant during the first month of life but the child was never seen again after a photo dated Jan. 5, 2025, that investigators say showed the infant visibly ill and without signs of life.
- Police searched multiple sites with cadaver dogs and have not found the child’s remains, leaving key questions about cause and location of death as the investigation and legal case move toward extradition and formal prosecution.
