EAST HAVEN, Conn. The complex investigation took nearly six months to complete. Those closest to 27-year-old Lizzbeth Aleman-Popoca had been pointing the finger at her live-in boyfriend, Jonathan Jara-Aucapina, also 27, since she disappeared in July. Her family says his arrest on Sunday will bring justice for Lizzbeth, and hope to many more families affected by domestic violence. It was shocking and necessary because the reality is that most women don’t see this justice, said Vanesa Suarez.
