A Desperate Plea for the Safe Return of Mateo and Athena

The Tragic Discovery of Angelica Bravo's Death

The Sacramento Police Department has launched a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Angelica Bravo's death, which was discovered in a north Sacramento home. Bravo's sister, Cecilia Spencer, expressed the family's anguish, stating, "We want Mateo and Athena back. That's just what we need right now." Bravo's mother, Dawn Bodea, echoed the sentiment, describing the devastating impact of the tragedy, saying, "I am feeling devastated, shattered."

The Search for Mateo and Athena Lee

Authorities believe that Bravo's children, Mateo Lee, 2, and Athena Lee, 4, are with their father, Camron Lee, who has not cooperated with investigators since Bravo's death. Officer Anthony Gamble of the Sacramento Police Department expressed the department's concern, stating, "We don't know where he is. We haven't been able to get in touch with him and those kids. We don't know where the kids are."

The Clue of the Crossed Border

Investigators have obtained a crucial clue in the case, as the 2023 Honda Passport believed to be driven by Camron Lee was captured on camera crossing the border into Mexico. Bravo's mother, Dawn Bodea, expressed her frustration, saying, "It's really frustrating because that's what we thought from the beginning that he was probably heading to Mexico because we knew [Lee] had ties in Mexico." However, the border crossing has complicated the search, as the police are unable to issue an Amber Alert due to the vehicle's location.

The Tumultuous Relationship and Unanswered Questions

Bravo's family has revealed that the relationship between Angelica and Camron Lee was tumultuous, with Bodea describing them as "both passionate and stubborn people." Despite this, Bodea also stated that Lee "was always very generous, took care of the kids and was always trying to do right." The family's conflicting accounts have left many unanswered questions about the nature of the relationship and the events leading up to the tragedy.
