Otero-Riveraโs father, Angel Rivera, 64, was also arrested and charged in connection with Montalvoโs death.
โHe wanted to discredit her, for I guess, her testimony,โ the man told detectives, adding Otero-Rivera wanted the mother of his child to be โlooked at like a junkie.โThe man told Otero-Rivera he would plant drugs in Montalvoโs car and then alert authorities in an attempt to discredit her.
Upon posting bail, he also told Angel Rivera of his plan, according to the interview.
He told me where she lived at and asked if I knew the color of her car,โ the man told detectives of Rivera.
Both Angel Rivera and Otero-Rivera are in the Osceola County Jail awaiting trial set to begin in September.
