JERICKA DUNCAN: Tonight, we're learning disturbing new details about the mysterious deaths of a pregnant teenager and her boyfriend. The bodies of 18 year old Savannah Soto and the father of her child were found in a car yesterday afternoon with gunshot wounds. CBS's Christian Benavidez spoke to her mother about the horrifying scene.
GLORIA CORDOVA: I don't want to believe it. She's gone. It hurts too much. She was my only daughter.
CHRISTIAN BENAVIDES: 18-year-old Savannah Soto was nine months pregnant. She and her boyfriend, 22-year-old Matthew Guerra, were reported missing on Saturday after they didn't show up for an appointment to induce labor.
CORDOVA: Because she was shot. And all that was going through my mind was the baby. Is the baby still alive? What was she thinking? Was she crying out for me?
BENAVIDES: Soto’s family says the couple was found late yesterday inside a locked car in a parking lot about three miles from where they lived. Police said the bodies had been there for three or four days. Soto's brother told CBS News the family was tipped off to the location of the car. And he arrived to the scene at the same time as the police. He told us Savannah Soto was in the front seat with a baby carrier and Guerra was in the backseat. He said both were shot behind the right ear. Police say they are looking for a suspect. They are investigating it as a murder but have not released the motive.
CHIEF BILL MCMANUS, SAPD: What we're looking at right now is a very, very perplexing crime scene, and detectives right now are looking at this as a possible murder. And- but we don't know for sure.
BENAVIDES: Soto’s family is looking for answers. Her mother wonders if the tumultuous relationship between her daughter and her boyfriend was a factor.
CORDOVA: As far as what happened to her, I think it has something to do with him. And things that he was doing. Not my daughter.
BENAVIDES: We've reached out to Guerra's family and have not heard back. There is a vigil scheduled to take place here at this park near the family home tomorrow in honor of Savannah Soto and her unborn child, who she planned to name Fabian. Jericka.
DUNCAN: Christian. Thank you.
