The 16-year-old girl who was declared missing after her younger sister and mother were allegedly fatally shot to death by her 21 year old boyfriend in their Texas home has also been found dead, authorities said.
The body of Kirsten Fritch was discovered at about 12:40 p.m. Thursday afternoon, not far from where officers arrested her boyfriend, Jesse Dobbs, two days earlier, the Baytown Police Department said.
Authorities found Dobbs in Shenanigan’s Bar in Texas City at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, hours after Fritch’s mother, Cynthia Morris, 37, and her sister, 13-year-old Breanna Pavilicek, were found murdered, police said.
“Baytown Detectives attempted to interview Mr. Dobbs about the murder; however, he refused to offer any details about the deaths of Cynthia and Breanna, or the whereabouts of Kirsten,” Baytown police said in a statement.
After searching for nearly two days, police discovered Fritch’s body in a wooded area north of the bar.
“A motive for the murders has yet to be determined as Mr. Dobbs continues to refuse to cooperate with detectives,” police said.
Dobbs and Fritch began dating after they met online, Fritch’s grandmother, Barbara DeRamus, told KHOU.
He moved into the family’s home not long after, but the teen’s mother wanted him out and did not approve of the relationship, DeRamus said.
“He just seemed like a lowlife”. “I thought, what was Kirsten doing with this idiot?”
Dobbs has not been charged in connection to the murders, but authorities said he is a suspect in all three deaths.
However, he remains in the Galveston County Jail on a resisting arrest charge, authorities said.
