In a tragic turn of events, the search for Kylie Montero, an 18-year-old pregnant teenager who was reported missing earlier this month, ended with the discovery of human remains believed to be hers. The discovery, made on Tuesday night, led to the arrest of her boyfriend, Gregory Groom, who is now facing murder charges.
The Bristol County District Attorney broke the devastating news to a solemn crowd gathered outside a residence on County Street. Investigators spent hours meticulously combing through the property, eventually uncovering the remains suspected to be Montero’s.
District Attorney Thomas Quinn disclosed that Groom, 22, who resided at the property, had reported Montero missing on August 7. He is now being charged with her murder, with an arraignment scheduled for the following day in Taunton District Court.
The scene was fraught with emotion as an excavator was brought in to aid the investigation. Montero’s friends and family expressed a bittersweet sense of closure, finding some comfort in the belief that she is now at peace. One mourner poignantly stated, “God has her,” reflecting on the shared grief and the hope that Montero and her unborn child are now reunited with loved ones in the afterlife.
Earlier in the day, Groom had faced charges related to an alleged assault on Montero, which reportedly took place just before her disappearance. He remains in custody without bail, awaiting his court appearance.
The case has deeply affected the community, with many mourning the loss of a young life full of promise. As the legal proceedings continue, the community stands united in support of Montero’s family.
Authorities are still gathering evidence, determined to piece together the events leading to this heartbreaking outcome. The investigation remains active, with law enforcement committed to seeking justice for Montero and her unborn child.
