A fugitive woman accused in the murder of a missing Hialeah man whose body was discovered in a recycling bin was arrested Monday in Mexico and extradited to Florida, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO).

A 5-month-old baby traveling with her was recovered safely and is now in Florida, authorities said.

The woman, Ariely Alvarez Cabrera, 27, waived her appearance at a bond court hearing Tuesday morning. The judge set her bond at $200,000.

Alvarez Cabrera's partner, 32-year-old Alfredo Carballo Gonzalez, also wanted in connection with the killing, remains at large, authorities said.

Investigation began after Hialeah man reported missing

On Aug. 7, at approximately 11:30 a.m., MDSO detectives were contacted by the Hialeah Police Department regarding a missing person case where foul play was suspected. The victim was identified as Daylon Fleitas Gonzalez.

Investigators determined that on Aug. 3, Fleitas Gonzalez met with the suspect, Carballo Gonzalez, near 95 Avenue and NW 106 Street. The suspect was seen entering the victim's truck, where an altercation took place, according to authorities.

Shortly after, the suspect placed a recycling bin in the bed of the truck and drove away, while being followed by another vehicle driven by Alvarez Cabrera, identified as the suspect's girlfriend.

On Aug. 8, with help from the MDSO Air Support Unit, detectives located the victim's truck and several pieces of evidence. A canvass of the area led to the discovery of the recycling bin, which contained the victim's body.
