After months of his disappearance, police said Friday they received evidence which led to the discovery of human remains in the area of Old Church Road, which are believed to be those of De La Rosa-Abreu.
"He was a good man, he always worked very hard," said Edwin González, a relative of Abreu. "He never did anything bad that could make people think he was suspicious."
Police previously said they believed La Rosa-Abreu left the area against his will and his disappearance was considered suspicious.
