A manhunt is on for a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old boyfriend who are wanted in connection for murdering the girl's mother in her El Dorado Hills home last week.
Detectives in the Bay Area are searching for Tylar Witt and Steven "Boston" Colver after authorities found 47-year-old Joanne Witt on Monday after being violently murdered days ago.
Investigators say the young suspects altered their appearance and headed for the coast after the murder. Their car was found in San Francisco Tuesday morning, and they are believed to be armed and dangerous.
"We are exhausting every available technique to track them down," said Sgt. Jim Byers from the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department. "We track phone records, credit card use, we contact all the law enforcement agencies in that area."
Authorities declined to confirm or deny any of the rumored motivations for the murder, but acknowledged they have responded to emergency calls for the family in the past.
On May 18, police responded to the Witt house on an assault call. Tylar admitted to assaulting her mother and was taken to juvenile hall, according to authorities.
Police are focusing on the suspects' relationship for clues relating to the murder.
"We do believe the relationship between the daughter and boyfriend may have led to this," Sgt. Byers said.
The suspects' profiles posted on social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook reveal a glimpse into their relationship. Tylar, who identified herself as 16-years-old online, posted a blog on her MySpace page that professed her love for Colver and raged against people who wanted to keep them apart.
"would u be happy then u son of a <expletive>!!! no.... no u wouldn't be happy!!! cz ur never satisfied!!!" said one blog posting titled "<expletive> U FATHER!!! I love you Steven."
On Colver's Facebook profile, friends urged him to surrender and expressed shock at the charges.
"Boston, you've got to quit running," said one post. "We're all worried about you here… you once told me that you would never be capable of such a thing. Prove me right. Prove yourself right."
Detectives say the two suspects altered their appearance by cutting their hair short and dyeing it black.
