The mother of the Texas A&M University student found dead after a tailgate now says her daughter's phone was "thrown into the woods."
Brianna Aguilera, 19, was found dead on Saturday at 12:47 a.m. at 21 Rio Apartments in Austin, Texas, following the Texas A&M University vs. University of Texas football game. While Austin police say her death is not being investigated as a homicide and no foul play is suspected, Aguilera’s mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, disputes that account. She said detectives told her her daughter fell 17 floors and that the death was accidental or a suicide, something she vehemently disagrees with.
Rodriguez told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" that her daughter's phone was found inside a purse that was thrown in the woods.
"They found my daughter's phone eventually in her friend's purse that was thrown in the woods," Rodriguez said.
Fox News contributor and former NYPD inspector Paul Mauro said the mother's statement about her daughter's phone raises questions.
"There are, however, some questions here…The main one that jumped out at me in the fact pattern that we know, is that her phone was found in a friend's purse in the woods at a distance from where the body was found. Now, you have to say to yourself, ‘What is the fact pattern that led to that?’" Mauro said.
Rodriguez said none of the people inside the apartment complex would answer her phone call.
"This was not accidental. Someone killed my Brie and gave all the group of friends a lot of time to come up with the same story," Rodriguez autopsy takes 90 days or longer.
