A third arrest has been made in last month's murder of a pregnant teenager and her boyfriend.

Savanah Soto and Matthew Guerra were found dead in a car at the Colinas at Medical Apartments complex in San Antonio on December 26. She had been reported missing on December 22 - one day before she was to have been induced at a local hospital.

Police later arrested and charged 19-year-old Christopher Ray Preciado with capital murder, abuse of a corpse, and alter or destroy a human corpse. His father, 53-year-old Ramon Preciado, was charged with alter or destroy a human corpse and abuse of a corpse. He is accused of helping his son move the bodies after the murders.

Police held a news conference today and announced they have arrested a third person. 47-year-old Myrta Romanos was arrested and charged with charges including Alter/Destroy/or Conceal a Human Corpse, Abuse of Corpse, and Tampering with Evidence. Police say Romanos told officers that her gun was the weapon used in the murder.
