Human remains consistent with missing woman found, boyfriend charged with murder, Bristol DA says

Human remains believed to be those of missing 18-year-old Kylee Monteiro were found in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, leading to murder charges against her boyfriend, Gregory Groom, 22. Monteiro had been missing since August 7, following a reported argument with Groom, who had been arrested on domestic violence charges prior to the remains' discovery. Police resumed their search at Groom's property after receiving evidence that pointed them back to the area. Investigators have not revealed what evidence prompted the renewed search or the nature of the tip received. Monteiro's family has shared their heartbreak, with her sister noting their difficulty in contacting Groom when Monteiro first went missing.

Friends described Monteiro as loving and caring, highlighting the community's sense of loss. Groom is currently being held without bail and is scheduled for arraignment in Taunton District Court. The case underscores the serious nature of domestic violence and its potential consequences.
