Authorities announced an arrest Monday in the brutal murder of an exotic dancer whose body was discovered in a burning car on an Arizona interstate more than a year ago.
Vega’s mother, Erika Pillsbury, said that for 19 months she felt like her daughter would never see justice.
On April 18, the Charger was found in the middle of a road roughly one mile from Vega's apartment, the sheriff’s office has said.
The sheriff's office has declined to comment.
The 911 caller who reported the car fire saw someone walking around the Malibu, according to the report, which did not provide additional details about the person.
