Chilling Video Shows Jossimar Cabrera Dragging Bag Amid M…
Sheriff’s officials in Los Angeles are seeking murder charges against Jossimar Cabrera, who they say was seen on video dragging a large object in a bag before his wife was found dead in a national forest.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the disappearance of Cabrera’s wife Sheylla Cabrera was initially characterized as a missing person with “suspected foul play,” and the homicide division is investigating.
Officials say that Jossimar Cabrera has fled to Peru.
“It’s scary, very spooky,” said Eric Jimenez, a neighbor, to NBC Los Angeles.
On Aug. 12, 2025, sheriff’s officials at Lancaster Station “took a missing person report on Sheylla Cabrera, a 33-year-old female,” the Sheriff’s Department wrote.
“During Lancaster Station’s follow-up investigation on Aug. 13, 2025, they discovered additional video surveillance of the missing person’s husband dragging a large object in a large piece of material from the apartment complex in the 500 block of Lancaster Boulevard, where the missing person, her husband, and three young sons lived,” the Sheriff’s release says.
“Based on their additional information, they suspected foul play may have been involved with the missing person and notified the Homicide Bureau. Homicide Investigators responded to the scene and started conducting their investigation, which is currently ongoing. In addition to Sheylla, her three children were also entered into the missing persons system,” the release adds.
“Through the extensive, ongoing investigation on August 13, 2025, the investigator immediately called in the Crescenta Valley, Altadena, and Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue teams, who immediately started searching large areas of the Angeles National Forest,” it continued.
“The investigator also worked in conjunction with the Mexican General Consulate and the Peruvian General Consulate with alerts for the person of interest in this case, Jossimar Cabrera a 36-year-old male. The investigators were informed that the person of interest had already fled from the United States. On August 16, 2025, the three children were found safe and taken into protective custody in Peru,” notes the release.
“I never had any interaction with the husband. He always seemed, like, mad all the time,” Mario Sanchez told NBC Los Angeles, which also reported that Sheylla Cabrera’s parents say she was planning to leave her husband.
On the same day, “Investigators were contacted shortly after 10:00 a.m. by the Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team who reported they had spotted an object similar to the material that was seen being taken away by the person of interest over the side of an embankment in the National Angeles Forest,” the Sheriff’s release notes.
“The investigator responded to the scene, and it was discovered that the material contained the body of Sheylla Cabrera, who was pronounced deceased at the scene. The official cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.”
The release continued: “This case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for their consideration of filing murder charges against Jossimar Cabrera and obtaining the necessary documents to secure his return to the United States. Jossimar Cabrera is currently believed to be in Peru, pending further investigation needed to bring him to justice.”
