While the scene in the kitchen was horrifying but fairly contained, Milagros' bedroom suggested a whole nother story when it came to the suspect's intentions.

Detective Holtz has been trying to figure out who could have been in Milagros' apartment that day by piecing together a timeline with a fresh set of eyes.

Milagros' boyfriend, Edwin Rivera, left the house at around 6.30 that morning, and Milagros' granddaughter was dropped off by her mom sometime between 8 and 8.30 a.m.

That family meetup that Milagros missed was supposed to take place at 11.15 a.m.

When Milagros never showed, they got in touch with Edwin and asked him if he could drop by the apartment and see if everything was okay.

Edwin told investigators that he left work and arrived back at the apartment on Arniston Avenue at around 3.30 p.m.

And he told police that when he entered the apartment, he found Milagros on the kitchen floor and described the baby running around screaming.

And it was him who called 911.

Police estimated that Milagros had been killed sometime between 8.30 and 11 that morning.

What wasn't quite as apparent is whether they should be looking for somebody who found a target of opportunity or someone Milagros knew.

Remember, there were three coffee cups in the sink.

Now, perhaps one was used by Milagros and the other by Edwin.

Now, what I do know is that it wasn't the baby's mom who was drinking the third cup of coffee.

She was running late for work that day, and while she normally did drink coffee with Milagros in the morning, that was the one day that she didn't.

Our reporter asked Detective Holtz more about the coffee cups, but he said that he didn't know for sure if the cups were from that morning or they could have been from days prior.

But even if those cups are all accounted for, that still doesn't rule out the possibility that Milagros' killer was someone known to her.

Coffee cups or no coffee cups, the truth is just about anyone could have gotten into Milagros' building.

Because even though the main entrance had a lock, Detective Holtz wouldn't exactly call it secure.

Detective Holt said that none of the neighbors reported any red flags the day that Milagros died.

No screaming, no sounds of anyone in distress, just absolutely nothing.
