MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TEXAS: The father of Felicia Johnson, a 24-year-old California woman who disappeared from northwest Houston last on April 16, 2022, and whose remains were found on February 7, at the Sam Houston National Forest, has spoken out following the heartbreaking discovery. Kevin Johnson said, “I'm glad my baby is going to be home, in some way, shape, or form, here shortly.” However, the search for her alleged killer Chukwuebuka Nwobodo continues.

The father reportedly told the press, "My heart just goes out for people that's been waiting 30 years, 40 years and just don't have no information, no news, no nothing. I feel blessed, I feel humbled and just appreciative of that worker that found that bag," as per The Sun. "The reason why her body has been found is so that she can return to get justice for herself. This is the first piece of the puzzle that is going to allow law enforcement to do their job and bring these guys to justice," he told ABC13.

Where is Chukwuebuka Nwobodo?

Chukwuebuka allegedly murdered and dismembered Felicia after luring her to his Houston home from her place in California by promising her $500, according to Daily Mail. The 28-year-old suspect Chukwuebuka has been charged with Felicia's murder and evidence tampering in connection to her disappearance. Chukwuebuka was detained for questioning on May 13, 2022, after detectives "found a gun, gloves, large kitchen knife and a shovel in the trunk and backseat of his car. He was questioned that day and released," as reported by Fox26

'How to be a serial killer'

Houston police claimed that the suspect made google searches such as “What does bleach do to blood?,” “most forested part of Houston,” and “how to kill without getting caught.” He also allegedly googled "how to be a serial killer," reports The Sun. He went on to search, “Can bleach destroy DNA?," “What does bleach do to blood”, “what does vinegar do to blood”, “does vinegar destroy blood dna”, and “how to delete your history completely.”

Chukwuebuka was previously accused of sexual assault in November 2020. However, following Felicia's murder, Chukwuebuka is still not in custody and there are still questions as to why police let him go, as per LawandCrime.

Anyone with information on Nwobodo’s whereabouts or in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
