Mom Who Went Missing Found Cut To Pieces On Her Former Father-In-Law’s Properties
Saint Cloud, Florida. 33-year-old Nicole Montalvo was a mom living in Saint Cloud along with her young son Elijah.
“She loved the beach, sun, and rollerblading at the St. Cloud lakefront, she loved her co-workers so much that she would go out to eat with them on her days off,” her obituary reads.
“She tried to eat healthy but failed miserably around Taco Bell, Nicole loved music and she had a special playlist that she played each day while getting ready for work.”
“She loved going to a local tavern to watch her favorite NFL team the Philadelphia Eagles which she rooted for.”
“Nicole loved her son Elijah more than anything, she loved dressing up for Halloween with Elijah, she taught Elijah to love ketchup and ranch dressing so they could put it on everything.”
“Nicole and Elijah loved to make cupcakes for school and his classmates. Nicole took so many photos of Elijah and herself that her phone was always full.”
“Nicole’s laugh was very distinctive and Elijah has the same one that we love to hear. Nicole always worked hard to provide the best life for Elijah and for herself. Elijah made her full of life she loved him so much.”
Nicole had separated from her husband Christopher Otero-Rivera due to the fact that he was abusive towards her.

Christopher abused Nicole for years, according to her family, and she finally left him after he kidnapped and beat her.
While he was incarcerated, she finally filed for divorce. She also obtained an order of protection against him but decided to drop that because she did not want it to negatively impact Elijah.
On October 21st, 2019, Nicole drove Elijah to his father’s house and dropped him off, but she never picked him up from school the following day like she was supposed to.
Nicole’s family immediately became concerned, because she would never forget her little boy like that.

Her family reported her as missing, and six days later, she was found burned and cut to pieces on two of her former father-in-law’s properties.
Christopher and his father, Angel Rivera, were both found accused of murdering Nicole so that they could have sole custody of Elijah.
They were both recently found guilty of second-degree murder, abuse of a human body, and tampering with evidence.
The father and son were each handed life sentences for murdering Nicole, and they additionally were given 15 years each for abusing her body and tampering with evidence.
Nicole’s family has gone on to create the Nicole Montalvo Foundation to help educate young people about the signs of domestic violence.
