As of now, no suspect has been identified in the case of Rivas, who was discovered in a severely decomposed state on September 8, six weeks ago.
“Currently, our investigator is still looking into the matter, and there’s nothing significant to report just yet. It’s early days, and I wish to honor both the LAPD’s efforts and the memory of the victim,” Trifunovic shared with the media.
