Key Details of the Case
Abraham Feinbloom, a 51-year-old resident of Salton City, California, was arrested on suspicion of murder following the discovery of a decomposed leg identified through DNA testing as belonging to 17-year-old T’Neya “TT” Tovar. Tovar was reported missing on December 1, 2025, after she informed her mother, Charro Tovar, that she was heading to Palm Springs. Feinbloom was apprehended on February 17, 2026, after attempting to flee as law enforcement executed a search warrant at his residence. He is currently held without bail at the Imperial County Jail, facing charges of murder and resisting arrest.
Background of the Victim
T’Neya Tovar, described by friends and family as “headstrong” and “full of energy,” was last heard from on December 1, 2025. Her mother filed a missing person report after T’Neya did not return home as promised. Reports indicate that T’Neya may have been traveling to meet Feinbloom, with friends recalling sightings of the two together months prior to her disappearance. The last known location of her phone was near Feinbloom's home, prompting her parents to conduct multiple welfare checks in the area.
Discovery of Remains
On December 21, 2025, authorities responded to a report of human remains in a field in Salton City, where they recovered a decomposed leg. Initial examinations could not determine the identity of the remains, but DNA testing confirmed the leg belonged to T’Neya Tovar more than two months later, on February 17, 2026. The delay in DNA testing has raised concerns from T’Neya's family regarding the investigation's urgency.
Community Concerns and Criticism
Neighbors of Feinbloom reported unusual activities, including loud noises and bright lights emanating from his home, leading some to label him as "the scary man in the scary house." Following the discovery of T’Neya's leg, Feinbloom reportedly installed multiple security cameras around his property. Charro Tovar expressed frustration over the investigation's handling, questioning why earlier welfare checks did not lead to a more immediate search for her daughter. “If they had acted sooner, maybe my child could have been saved,” she stated.
Ongoing Investigation
The investigation into T’Neya Tovar's disappearance remains active, with the FBI offering a $10,000 reward for information related to the case. Law enforcement officials continue to search for additional remains and gather evidence as they pursue the case against Feinbloom.
