Sativa Transue’s boyfriend arrested after 26-year-old found dead in Mexico after ‘being savagely beaten by partner’
SATIVA Transue's boyfriend has reportedly been arrested for femicide after the 26-year-old was found dead in the Cancun hotel room they shared over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Taylor Allen, 31, has been arrested by police in Spokane, Washington after returning home from a vacation in which he allegedly beat Transue after threatening to jump off the four-story hotel balcony.
Witnesses say the two, who had been together for three years, had gotten into a drunken argument inside the All Ritmo Resort in Mexico on November 27 when Allen threatened to jump for their room balcony.
Her body was found by a maid hours after investigators determined she died from being beaten to death.
Sativa reportedly texted her friends back home in Washington around 1PM the day before she passed, saying she and Allen had consumed "seven shots and two Pina Coladas."
She then sent the same friends a row of messages hours later saying she got into a fight with Allen and needed stitches.
Her friends grew increasingly more alarmed when she stopped responding to their texts.
Sativa's mom, Jayme Bolieu, then confirmed their worst fears on Saturday morning when she received a call from the Mexican consulate that her daughter was found dead.
In an interview with , Bolieu said Sativa was found as if she had been "beaten to a bloody pulp."
"How could my beautiful healthy daughter be gone? In another country? It took my breath away," she said.
"A part of me died. She was my baby. I had her at 16. We grew up together. She was my life, my reason for living, my best friend.”
Bolieu said her daughter told her the "trip was okay, but not the best, because they were fighting."
Sativa's 21-year-old sister Mykayla said she had received a series of frantic texts from Sativa's friends saying they were worried about her wellbeing.
“Apparently, [Sativa’s boyfriend] was threatening to jump off a four-story balcony,” on Friday, Jayme said. “Sativa was injured and had to have stitches.”
Mykayla told KOMO that other residents at the hotel "heard screams in the middle of the night and they said nothing."
EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE
Both Sativa's mom and sister said Allen mistreated Sativa.
"He was very emotionally abusive," Bolieu alleged. "He checked her phone, and we couldn’t text her because it went to her computer and he would check that."
"He would drink so much that she [Sativa] called it like a different personality," Mykayla said. "She would call it [his] ‘Beast.'"
Court records show that Allen was previously arrested for assault in the fourth degree in 2012. The circumstances and outcome of that case are currently unclear.
Bolieu told people in abusive relationships that they needed to leave, saying it would be what Sativa wanted to tell people.
“Just get out of the relationship," she told KIRO. "If anything, Sativa would want this to help people.”
“We want justice and we want her home," Mykayla told KOMO. "She was such a kind person, I cannot see anyone ever thinking to do that to her.
"I will never understand why this happened to my sister, but I’m beyond amazed at the outpour of love we’ve received for her. And I’m glad we’re on track to getting my sister the justice she deserves."
The family will hold a celebration of life for Sativa in Spokane on December 11.
