According to Simón Bolívar Ureña Almánzar (Boli o Machú), in his statement to the Public Prosecution agency in San Francisco de Macorís, Duarte province, Marlin Martínez, the mother of Marlon Martínez, the lead suspect in the murder of pregnant teenager Emely Peguero, was prepared to pay between RD$600,000 and RD$1,000,000 to ensure that the body of the teenager not be found.
Ureña Almánzar was arrested on suspicion of participating in the hiding of the body and maintained that he combed slums in Moca with Marlon on the orders of his mother to find someone to get rid of the body. They were not able to find anyone and he said that Marlon took on the task instead.
He said that he and Marlon drove to where the body had originally been dumped, put it into the pickup and then drove to a farm in Los Algarrobos where Marlon moved the body into the trunk of his car, and Boli said he then went home.
