THE KIDS ARE STILL WAITING FOR HER TO COME HOME..! – MISSING CALIFORNIA MOTHER OF SEVEN TATYANA MCINTYRE FOUND D3AD INSIDE THE GARAGE OF HER EX-BOYFRIEND’S HOME JUST ONE DAY AFTER SHE DISAPPEARED, FAMILY SAYS.
A missing California mother of seven has been found dead inside the garage of her ex-boyfriend’s home, her family said.
Tatyana McIntyre, 30, who also uses the name Alison Riley, was found dead at the Fresno property on Wednesday after she disappeared on Tuesday.
Jeffrey Vernon Michaels, the father of two of her children, was booked last week on a murder charge following the discovery of her body.
McIntyre’s mother, Liberty, has since spoken with Fox26, claiming that Michaels has a history of domestic violence and allegedly choked her daughter.
She told the outlet that her body was found inside the garage of the home, adding that she spoke with Michaels after her disappearance before he went ‘offline.’
‘I spoke to him right after she came up missing. I asked him, “Where is my daughter, Jeff?” and he went totally offline. We lost contact with him.’
Describing her late daughter, she said. ‘She was so bubbly, she was fun, she enjoyed life. I miss waking up to texts from her, talking to me about her day.’
According to Liberty, her daughter had rented a Zipcar in the hours before her death, with the GPS data showing it was abandoned on Tuesday afternoon.

Family members later found the abandoned vehicle, which, according to them, still had her belongings inside. The Fresno Police Department has since confiscated the car.
Announcing the arrest of Michaels, the department said that he turned himself in.
