Bodies of missing Berks County woman, 1-year-old son found on roadside

Investigators say the bodies of a missing mother and her 1-year-old son were found in a grassy marsh off the side of the road in Berks County last weekend. Officials now say the woman's husband was also found dead days earlier.

What we know:

Pennsylvania State police issued a Missing Endangered Persons advisory for Geraldina Peguero-Mancebo, 31, and her 1-year-old son Jeyden Peguero last Wednesday.

Investigators said the mother and son had not been seen since September 12 in Berks County, and added that they "may be at special risk of harm or injury."

Geraldina's body was found nearly a week later in a grassy field off East Huller Lane in Ontelaunee Township. Jeyden's body was found the next day partially submerged in a marshy area nearby, investigators said.

An autopsy report ruled both deaths as homicides. 

Dig deeper:

The weekend's discovery comes days after Geraldina's husband, Junior Cabrera-Colon, was found dead in a park in Reading just days earlier. Reading officials said that Jose Luis Rodriguez has confessed to killing Cabrera-Colon and has been charged with his murder.

What we don't know:

It's not clear if Rodriguez is suspected in the deaths of Peguero-Mancebo or her son.

Authorities have not revealed the cause of deaths, and have not given a possible motive for the killings.
