FBI agents have been assisting El Dorado police, and it is their belief that Mireles, who has "resident alien" status in the United States, may attempt to cross the border into Mexico, where he has known ties.
Emily's body was found on November 29, during the fifth day of a ground search conducted by the El Dorado Police Department and the Butler County Sheriff's Department. According to police, she had been dumped over a steep embankment along U.S. 54, approximately 50 miles east of El Dorado. Close to her body, investigators found a bedspread they had previously reported as missing from Mireles's motel room.

Following the discovery of the body, Butler County Attorney Jan Satterfield spoke to the media and said investigators are focusing their efforts on locating Mireles, so they can bring him in for questioning.
"The main thing is just hoping that he turns himself in and that we talk to him," Satterfield stated, adding that investigators want to make sure "his girlfriend is all right, that her baby is all right."

In a statement released to the media, El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said he believes Mireles's 16-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Victoria Martens, is with him "of her own volition, but investigators fear for her continued welfare, as well as that of her unborn child."
