As police searched for Luviano, they learned that foul play was suspected and Tulsa PD's Homicide Unit began investigating.
Officials say the investigation led Tulsa officers outside their jurisdiction, so on January 9, 2025, the OSBI was requested to help with the investigation.
On January 13, special agents found human remains in a wooded area near Spaniard Creek in Muskogee County. The remains were later identified as Luviano.
Based on information gathered during the investigation, two suspects were identified as 22-year-old Maria Guadalupe and 19-year-old Irwin Medina. They were both located and arrested in Tulsa on January 15.
