David Pena arrested in Florida for murder of Boston mother in 2007
BOSTON -- A man has been arrested for the 2007 death of a Boston mother. Felicia McGuyer was 32 years old when she disappeared 16 years ago.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney, 33-year-old David Pena will be arraigned on a murder charge in Dorchester Municipal Court on Tuesday.
Pena was already in custody in Macclenny, Florida on an unrelated matter when a warrant that was secured in December was executed.
"Information leading to Pena's arrest was developed through interviews conducted since McGuyer's disappearance, with the latest taking place in March 2022," said D.A. Kevin Hayden.
In November 2017, friends of McGuyer said police were digging for clues about her disappearance at a construction site in the area of Enneking Parkway near Turtle Pond. Her body was never found.
Pena was McGuyer's boyfriend at the time of her disappearance.
She left behind a 10-year-old son.
When Pena was booked in Boston, police also discovered there was another warrant for his arrest on trafficking cocaine charges.
