Orem • In their prayers, Brenda Marsh and her family ask for one thing: That the bodies of her daughter and grandson be returned to them soon.
Emily Quijano, 23, and her 3-year-old son, Gabriel Almiron, disappeared two years ago. Now, police believe Quijano’s boyfriend, Christopher Richard Poulson, killed the mother and son on Sept. 8, 2015, and spent two days disposing of their bodies.
The mother and son have never been found — though Poulson, 28, was charged last week with two counts aggravated murder in their deaths.
At a Tuesday news conference, Marsh thanked the Orem police officers who worked “quietly, yet tenaciously” building a case over the last two years against Poulson, which culminated in his arrest Friday evening in Hawaii.
