[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Nikki Alcaraz has been found. But what happens now? Now police have turned their attention to her boyfriend… The 33-year-old woman went missing during a road trip with her boyfriend, Steven Tyler Stratton.
She was feared to be in danger after she stopped contacting family — immediately following a brutal physical fight with her boyfriend that put many in mind of what happened with Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie.
Just outside Moriarty, New Mexico, a small town about 25 miles east of Albuquerque, sheriff’s deputies encountered Alcaraz and Stratton.
The two were involved in a domestic dispute that left Nikki with a black eye and multiple bruises all over her body and Stratton with blood “coming from his mouth and nose.” A passing trucker told cops he witnessed the assault, saying he saw Nikki on the ground, with her boyfriend punching and slapping her.
