Jason Transue was trying to convince his daughter, 26-year-old Sativa Transue, to drive across Washington state for Thanksgiving last week, but she told him on Thursday morning that she was going on a last-minute trip to Cancun, Mexico, with her boyfriend of three years, 31-year-old Taylor Allen.
On Saturday morning, Jason was awakened by a phone call from his ex-wife, Sativa's mom, who said their daughter had been found"beaten to death" in a hotel room in resort town.
"We can confirm the arrest of a U.S. citizen near Cancun, Mexico," the spokesperson said."We are closely monitoring the investigation. Out of respect for the privacy of the family, we have no further comment." Sativa's father said that Allen displayed some disturbing behavior before she was killed, including monitoring Sativa's phone and threatening to jump off the fourth-floor balcony in Cancun the day before she was found dead.
