The body of a 25-year-old mom from Georgia has been found after her fiancé received a mysterious text from her cell phone.
Minelys 'Mimi' Zoe Rodriguez-Ramirez, from Cornelia, had been texting her fiancé, Julio Tovor, while she was shopping at a Walmart store at approximately 9:30pm on October 22.
Tovor went to sleep before Mimi got back from the store, but when he woke up the next morning, he was concerned to find she wasn't at home.

Tovor contacted Mimi's mom, Carmen Ramirez, to see if she'd heard from her daughter, but she had no idea where Mimi was either.
Speaking to Now Habersham, Ramirez said: “Everybody calls her Mimi. My daughter moved here six years ago when Mt. Vernon Mills offered her a job while she was living in Puerto Rico."
The family members officially reported Mimi missing on October 23, according to the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office.
Following Mimi's disappearance, Tovor considered the last text he'd received from his fiancé, which came around the same time she was last seen at the Walmart.
He noticed something strange about the last message he'd received, which read: “I am waiting for the brother to pick him up.”
“It didn’t make sense," Tovor told Now Habersham. "She doesn’t talk like that."
The family members were left searching for answers, but on Monday (October 28), the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced an update in the case, as they arrested Angel DeJesus Rivera-Sanches, 24, on a charge of kidnapping in connection with Mimi's disappearance.
The following day, the bureau announced remains believed to be Mimi's had been found.
Rivera-Sanches' has now additionally been charged with murder as a result of the discovery.
The GBI has not shared a motive for the alleged murder.
Prior to her death, Mimi had gained a following of more than 22,000 followers on TikTok by posting videos of her workouts and sharing stories about her personal life.
When she was a teenager, Mimi welcomed a daughter who now lives with her father in Puerto Rico.
Tovor told Now Habersham the mom 'treasured' her daughter.
The GBI is now awaiting the results of an autopsy on Mimi's body to offer further insight to her death.
The investigation is ongoing, and the GBI has requested anyone with information on the matter to contact the bureau at 800-597-8477, use the See Something, Send Something mobile app, or submit tips online at https://gbi.georgia.gov/submit-tips-online.
