Police have yet to identify the body of a woman found one house over from where 23-year-old Bertha Garcia was last seen Sunday.
The body was found in bushes Monday afternoon in the 1900 block of Paris Street, Aurora police say.
Authorities said German Medina is a person of interest in the disappearance of Garcia.
“We do not have a warrant for his arrest at this time,” Aurora police spokesman Frank Fania said in a news release Tuesday. “We are asking for help from the public in locating Medina and the car he was last seen in.”
Fania said Medina is not a legal U.S. citizen and he has family in Mexico.
Police said a friend of Garcia’s said she walked him to his car at about 12:15 a.m. Sunday at her home, but as he was driving away he saw a man approach her before she got back inside her home.
Police said Medina’s brother told them Medina had asked to borrow his car and a gun. The brother said he lent Medina his car but not a gun.
Fania said police are still looking for a black 1997 Lexus with Colorado license plate 339-WDJ.
