Two juveniles are people of interest in Washington City stabbing

Police in Washington City are actively searching for two teenagers, Abigael Paige Flanagan and Mihaela Gabriela Sorescu, who are considered people of interest in the fatal stabbing of a 47-year-old California woman. The incident occurred while the three were visiting Utah. Authorities reported that Flanagan and Sorescu were present with the victim during their stay.

The investigation took a turn when, on Sunday morning around 10 a.m. MDT, police located the rental car the three had been using in California. Both teenagers were last seen in Bellflower, California, and are thought to still be in that vicinity. Law enforcement emphasizes that Flanagan and Sorescu are not suspects in the woman’s death; instead, they wish to interview them for insight into the incident.

The tragic discovery was made when cleaning staff found the woman on the floor of the vacation home, suffering from multiple stab wounds. Law enforcement officials confirmed her death on the scene. Investigators noted that there were no signs of forced entry into the property, raising further questions about what transpired during their stay.

The three women had been in the vacation home from March 20 to March 23, while visiting various national parks in Utah and Arizona. The investigation continues as officials work to establish a timeline and understand the circumstances surrounding the woman’s tragic death.

Washington City police are collaborating with federal and California law enforcement agencies in their efforts to locate Flanagan and Sorescu. The case remains under investigation as authorities seek to piece together the events leading up to this unfortunate incident.
