MANILA, September 16, 2013 – The missing car of murdered advertising executive Kristel "Kae" Davantes was found in Las Piñas City on Sunday morning, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said.
"Philippine National Police-Public Information Office have informed relatives to assure na hindi nakakalimutan si Kae," Roxas said on his Twitter account.
Roxas said Davantes’ Toyota Altis was discovered at Camella 4, Pamplona 3, Las Piñas City. Scene of the Crime Operatives processed the vehicle, while relatives identified personal items found inside the car, Roxas also said.
The vehicle was found after residents reported a car alarm blaring continuously, GMA News Online quoted Las Piñas City police chief Senior Superintendent Adolfo Samala.
