Who is Sergio Galvez Perez? 5 things on California man wanted for incest, with teen daughter, after newborn found dead

Monterey County authorities are currently searching for Sergio Galvez Perez and his 14-year-old daughter following the tragic discovery of a newborn baby, named Baby Angelita, dead on the side of a rural road. According to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office, Perez and his daughter are believed to be the parents of the deceased infant. The body was found unresponsive near the 100 block of Struve Road on August 1, with the baby declared dead at the scene.

Detectives have alleged that the 14-year-old gave birth to the baby on the roadside and then abandoned her there before fleeing the area. Forensic examination has revealed signs of traumatic injury on the infant. Perez is wanted on suspicion of murder, while his daughter is accused of concealing her from law enforcement. The baby's identity has not been released due to her status as a juvenile and victim of sexual abuse.

Perez had previously been contacted by authorities four weeks prior concerning an unrelated misdemeanor warrant. Sheriff Tina Nieto highlighted the significance of employing modern investigative tools, such as the Flock automated license plate reader camera system, which played a crucial role in identifying a vehicle of interest registered to Perez.

Within just 53 hours, investigators combined Flock data with traditional methods to uncover additional leads, identify individuals connected to the vehicle, and locate persons of interest within the case.
