Chilling final messages teen girl sent her best friend minutes before she was ‘k!lled by man she met on Snapchat’

A teenager was alleged strangled to death by a man she met on Snapchat who put her in a chokehold after they had sex.  Annabelle Margaret Floren-Wyant, 18, was found dead in the bedroom of Jorge Meza Alarcon Jr, 26, at 2:53 am on Thursday at his home near El Paso, Texas.

The teen told a close male friend she was visiting him to ‘collect money’ from one of her subscribers, and he dropped her off at 12:48 am.  Once inside, she texted the friend saying Alarcon was ‘weird’ and requested he text or call her periodically to check on her, the friend told police.  When the friend didn’t hear from Floren-Wyant for about 90 minutes, he called 911 at 2:26 am to report the situation, according to an arrest affidavit.

Police found her dead on the bedroom floor with her underwear pulled down to her ankles and blood near her ear but no other obvious signs of trauma.  Floren-Wyant was from Colorado Springs and it was unclear how long she was in El Paso or what she was doing there.  Alarcon was found about three miles away from his home with facial injuries, and claimed the pair arranged on Snapchat to meet up for sex.

He claimed after they were intimate, she hit him in the back of the head with her phone when he turned around to get the money, and the next thing he remembered, was walking near where he was found.  Alarcon called 911 to report the attack, and gave police an iPhone 15 with a cracked screen and gold case.  However, he later changed his story to describe putting Floren-Wyant in a jujitsu-style chokehold because he feared the meeting was an ambush.

He claimed she threatened him before, and he was uneasy about the meeting because he saw a car idling outside.  Alarcon said she was also frequently texting someone she described as her ‘boyfriend’, whom he worried would come in to attack him.  Then, when Floren-Wyant supposedly hit him with the phone, he ‘instantly went to a leglock but transitioned to a “D’arce” choke hole which he demonstrated on the floor of the interview room’, the affidavit explained.

Alarcon said he then got off her, left the house via the fence gate and got into his father’s pickup truck, and drove away.  ‘Jorge was asked if he knew Annabelle was dead when he left the room and he stated “without checking her pulse”,’ the affidavit read.  ‘[He] said he “knows how to do locks,” because he “likes to train”, and he knows when the chokehold is used ‘you only have two to three taps in you.’

Alarcon explained to deputies that all his weight was on her neck and he was pulling her head as part of the move.  ‘Under circumstances explained by Jorge, he had an extreme indifference to human life when he knowingly applied a chokehold to Annabelle, which he reasonably knew would create a grave risk of death,’ the affidavit alleged.  Alarcon was charged with first-degree murder and booked into the El Paso County Jail.

He has a history of alleged strangulation attacks, having been charged with assault in December in a case before the Fourth Circuit, according to KKTV.  Then in March, a woman was granted a restraining order against him.  Alarcon was also accused of strangling a dog to death in February, then throwing its body into a dumpster at The Vineyards apartments in Colorado Springs.  He was charged with animal cruelty and criminal mischief, according to KOAA.
