Human remains found; Man charged with murder of Escondido man, girlfriend. Angel Ponce and Danielle Ricker were reported missing in February
ESCONDIDO, Calif. - A grieving mother is in search of justice, after the possible remains of her missing son and his girlfriend were discovered, days after a man was arrested for their murders."Just emptiness, broken. Just knowing that I’m never going to see him again, it’s unbearable,” said Moore.
In January, Moore, who lives in Tennessee, says her son, Escondido native Angel Ponce, 30, stopped returning her calls.In mid-February, loved ones filed a missing person report.“He was really in love with her. They were living together,” said Moore. Both Ponce and Ricker, 31, were reported missing in last month. The focus soon shifted to Ricker's ex-boyfriend.
According to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, a tip led to a Feb. 27 search warrant at the home of David Alan Floyd in Temecula. He was then arrested on two counts of murder. On March 2, the remains of two people were found near an intersection in the Hemet area.“Just to throw them out there, like animals,” said a tearful Moore.
Moore calls her son, who worked for an asphalt company for about a decade, a fun, loving father of two.“He was jealous of my son and he wanted to have a relationship with Danielle,” said Moore.“Death penalty, I'm okay with, but I prefer him to suffer with life instead … I want justice for my son,” said Moore.A Gofundme campaign has been set up to help the family with expenses.
