Overkillers with Brooke Makenna
It was April 20th 2012 and the Celis family were going to bed in Tucson, Arizona. When Sergio Celis woke up that Saturday morning about 8am, he went to wake up his daughter Isabel Celis for the day but Isabel was nowhere to be seen. Her mother Becky was already at work that morning and Sergio immediately called 911 to report her missing. He stated he believed she was abducted from the home. One of Isabel's brother noticed that her window was open and the screen as lying outside. She remained missing. Her father Sergio was under scrutiny for the strange behavior and lack of interviews. Many began to believe he had something to do with his daughter's disappearance. By June 3rd 2014, in the same area, 13 year old Maribel Gonzales went to a friends home however she never made it. Investigators immediately classified her as a runaway and not much was done to search for her. 3 days later, the family would hear on the news that a body had been found 35 miles from her home. This was in a desert area and they announced it had a little tattoo. As soon as they showed it, her mother fell to the floor screaming. That was her daughter. Her death was ruled as a homicide. But in 2017 investigators had received a huge tip. A woman called the FBI and claimed that her boyfriend likely killed the missing girl Isabel Celis. He had told her that he knew her location. A letter was sent to her from the Pima County Jail where he was being held for burglary charges at this time. That same month, FBI agents met with Christopher Clements to interview him. He would admit he knew where Isabel was buried. He led agents to a remote desert area near Avra Valley road and Trico. Skeletal remains were then found and DNA identified her as Isabel Celis. Her death was ruled a homicide. But in that same area was where murdered Maribel had been found years prior.
