Seminole County officials to give update in deadly carjacking, kidnapping
TWO NEWS STARTS NOW. SEMINOLE COUNTY DEPUTIES ARE NOW WORKING TO FIGURE OUT WHO IS BEHIND AN ARMED CARJACKING AND MURDER. INVESTIGATORS SAY CATHERINE AGUAS VIVAS IS PRESUMED DEAD AFTER A BODY WAS FOUND INSIDE HER BURNED OUT SUV. AS WESH GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN TELLS US, THE CARJACKING WAS FIRST REPORTED IN WINTER SPRINGS AND THE BODY WAS FOUND IN OSCEOLA COUNTY. THE ONLY WITNESS TO CALL 911 ALSO RECORDED THIS VIDEO AT A STOPLIGHT THURSDAY OF AN ARMED CARJACKING AND KIDNAPING AT TUSCAWILLA AND EAST LAKE DRIVE IN SEMINOLE COUNTY. LISTEN TO THE CALLER. HE WAS CHASING THE CAR. HIT THE CAR, GOT OUT OF HIS CAR WITH A HOOD OVER HIS FACE, AND HAD A MACHINE GUN. IT LOOKED LIKE GOT IN THE CAR WITH THE OTHER GUY, EXCEPT INVESTIGATORS SAY IT WAS 31 YEAR OLD CATHERINE AGUAVIVA OF HOMESTEAD THAT THE SUSPECT GOT INTO THE WHITE DURANGO WITH SEMINOLE COUNTY SHERIFF DENNIS LEMMA SAID SHE CALLED HER HUSBAND MOMENTS BEFORE RIGHT AFTER THE GREEN ACURA RAMMED HER BUMPER. SHE CALLED HER HUSBAND. HUSBAND SAID, DON’T LEAVE THE CAR. NO REPORTS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. SEMINOLE COUNTY DEPUTIES RESPONDED AROUND 5:30 P.M., ABOUT AN HOUR AND 45 MINUTES LATER. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE VICTIM WAS FORCED TO DRIVE HERE TO THIS CONSTRUCTION SITE OFF BOGGY CREEK ROAD IN OSCEOLA COUNTY. NOW, THIS IS WHERE WITNESSES SAY THEY HEARD GUNSHOTS AND THEY SAW SMOKE. THIS IS ALSO WHERE THEY FOUND A BODY AND A BURNED OUT VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE VEHICLE AND THE DECEDENT TO BE CATHERINE. BUT WE HAVE TO POSITIVELY CONFIRM THAT WE DO FEEL THAT THE THE OCCUPANTS OF THE GREEN ACURA, UH, BOTH THE DRIVER AND AT LEAST ONE OTHER PERSON THAT GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND ENTERED INTO THE DURANGO, UH, KNEW EXACTLY WHO THEY WERE FOLLOWING. BUT WHY? THAT’S WHAT THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A MOTIVE. INITIAL REPORTS THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US WAS CATHERINE WAS TRAVELING TO CENTRAL FLORIDA TO VISIT WITH FAMILY MEMBERS. WE KNOW OF NO FAMILY MEMBERS THAT ARE LIVING IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. HE SAYS THE VICTIM, NOR HER HUSBAND HAVE ANY CRIMINAL HISTORY IN THE U.S. THIS WAS NOT A RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE THAT THE PERPETRATORS KNEW EXACTLY WHO THEY WERE GOING AFTER. DETECTIVES ARE LOOKING FOR THE SUSPECTS, AND THIS LATE MODEL GREEN ACURA TL. IF YOU SEE IT, DON’T APPROACH IT. JUST CALL LA
