In a previous report by ABS-CBN, the Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) found decomposed bodies of a male and a female in a quarry site in Brgy. Sta. Lucia, Capas, Tarlac.
In an Inquirer report at the time, the police refused to givemore details on the unearthed corpses.
Later on, it was confirmed by authorities that the decomposing bodies were indeed that of the missing beauty queen and her Israeli boyfriend.
Geneva Lopez is a 27-year-old model and beauty queen who was reported missing on June 21, 2024. She was with her boyfriend, 37-year-old Israeli national, Yitzhak Cohen. The two were last seen in Tarlac. On July 6, police authorities say they have found the decomposing bodies of the couple in a quarry site in a faraway barangay in Capas, Tarlac.
Recently, an urn of one of the two bodies that were found in a quarry in Capas, Tarlac has been brought home by the family. According to GMA News, the urn is believed to be that of Geneva Lopez. The video posted by GMA showed a Toyota Fortuner parked outside the funeral home in Tarlac. A man could be seen carrying an urn as he comes out of a door from the funeral parlor.
It can be recalled that the body of Geneva Lopez, the missing beauty queen, has been cremated. In the report done by ABS-CBN News, Lopez's sibling revealed that two wakes will be held. One wake will be done at the place where the late beauty queen grew up while the other wake will be held near a memorial chapel. Previously, Lopez and her boyfriend, Yitshak Cohen, were said to have sustained gunshot wounds.
