DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - A suspect has been flown into Massachusetts to face charges in the case of a woman who disappeared from Dorchester in 2007.
On Monday, the Boston Police Department announced that David Pena, 33, was booked after police travelled to the Baker County Detention Center in Macclenny, FL, for the suspect’s rendition.
Pena was wanted on an outstanding warrant on a murder charge stemming from the death of Felicia McGuyer, and had been in custody in Florida on an “unrelated matter,” according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.
McGuyer, 32, was last seen on Sunday, Oct. 7, 2007, in the area of Roxton Street in Dorchester. Her disappearance was the subject of searches in the years that followed, with officials and her family asking the public for any information on what may have happened to the young mother, who left behind a 10-year-old son.
According to a spokesperson for DA’s office, Pena was McGuyer’s boyfriend at the time of her disappearance and that a warrant for his arrest was secured in December, 2022. The official said that “information leading to Pena’s arrest was developed through interviews conducted since McGuyer’s disappearance, with the latest taking place in March 2022.”
“Felicia McGuyer’s family and friends have lived with her tragic absence for many years,” District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement. “While Mr. Pena’s arrest and arraignment can never erase their grief, it can at least provide the knowledge that someone will be held accountable for her death.”
In a press release, the DA’s office also noted that McGuyer’s body has still not been located.
Further details on Pena’s connection to her disappearance, now referred to as a homicide in the Boston PD update, have not yet been released.
In the BPD announcement, police officials added that while he was being booked on the aforementioned murder charge, authorities found Pena was also wanted on an outstanding warrant on charges of trafficking cocaine.
Pena is expected to appear in Dorchester District Court Tuesday for his arraignment.
