Video found in slain bank teller’s phone shows floor similar to house where her remains were found

A video was found in the cellphone of slain bank teller Tania Camille Dee, which shows the floor similar to the house where her remains were found on Sunday.

 

GMA News was able to secure a copy of the said video from a reliable source, as shown in a report on Unang Balita on Monday.

 

The video showed only the floor, but authorities, as well as an aunt of the victim, said it matched the floor of the house in Barangay Balibago in Angeles City, where Dee's remains were found.

 

"Anong oras nakunan mismo nu'ng pamangkin ko 'yung lapag mismo nu'ng bahay?" Dee's aunt, who refused to be identified, told GMA News. "Kasi umikot siya, nakita ko 'yun 'yun. 'Yun ang nakakapagtaka."

 

 

Dee, 33, was found dead after a week.

She was last seen in a restaurant on the evening of June 20, when she met with her ex-husband Fidel Sheldon Arcenas, who local police now consider a primary suspect. 

 

A separate Unang Balita report said Dee had previously filed a case against him for violation of RA 9262 (Anti-Violence Act Against Women and Children).

 

It added that Dee's remains were found buried in a shallow grave at the backyard of a house. 

 

The said house was reportedly owned by the mother of Arcenas' current live-in partner.

 

According to Chief Inspector Ferdinand Aguilar, the mother came to the police herself about the matter, saying that the key to the vacant house was only returned to her recently, after her daughter and Arcenas borrowed it since April.

 

"Siya mismo ang nagsabi na there's something unusual doon sa bahay niya dahil nu'ng biglang binalik sa kaniya 'yung susi, nakita niya sa Facebook na nada-drag na 'yung apelyido nila. Nagpunta siya (the mother) mismo sa opisina," Aguilar said.

 

 

He added that based on the initial report from the Scene of the Crime Operations (SOCO), the body had been buried then between 24 to 48 hours before it was found by authorities. Dee's body was found wrapped in a blanket and with a plastic bag on the head.

 

The SOCO report said Dee was shot from the back of her head and the bullet went through her face, Aguilar said.

 

Authorities have gone to Arcenas' house, but was told he was not there. A search is ongoing for him. —Rose-An Jessica Dioquino/KG/TJD, GMA News
