Several days of waiting for your daughter to come back home. Then, you finally get the news you dreaded so much – she was murdered by a colleague.
Miya Marcano parents reported her missing after she missed her scheduled flight to Fort Lauderdale, South Florida. It was at this point they knew something was up.

Who is Miya Marcano?
Miya Marcano is a 19-year-old student at Valencia College. She was reported missing on September 24 after an unusual silence from her end with her parents. Unfortunately, officers found her body in a wooded area near Tymber Skan apartments in Orlando. The Sheriff in charge of Orange County, John Mina, announced. He also said he had reached out to Miya Marcano parents.
What Happened to Miya Marcano?
Miya Marcano was found dead in Orlando, a week after missing. After investigations, all fingers point to one Manuel Caballero, a maintenance guy who worked where Marcano lived. From their phone conversations, it looked like Caballero was hellbent on dating Marcano, who constantly rebuffed him. We believe it didn’t go well with the Maintenance guy who would later be found to have committed suicide three days after Miya was missing.
There were also signs of a violent struggle and blood in Miya’s apartment at the Arden Villas in Orlando. This shows that there was a physical confrontation before her demise.
