Teenage Girl and Boyfriend Accused of Murdering Her Mother

Teens Arrested in El Dorado Hills Murder Case

FIRST ON FOX40.COM: A teenage murder suspect's MySpace URL make references to a Japanese literary character who battled with incestual feelings

SAN BRUNO - Two teenage suspects accused of killing a 47-year-old El Dorado Hills woman have been apprehended by authorities at a Bay Area mall.

Fourteen-year-old Tylar Witt and her 19-year-old boyfriend Steven "Boston" Colver were taken into custody near an AT&T Wireless retail center at a San Bruno strip mall shortly before 10am Wednesday morning. The two stand accused of murdering 47-year-old El Dorado Hills resident Joanne Witt, who is the mother of the 14-year-old girl.

Authorities believe the two used Joanne Witt's vehicle to flee from El Dorado Hills sometime early this week. The vehicle was recovered along a construction zone in San Francisco Tuesday afternoon.

FOX40 News has learned that Joanne Witt may have previously attempted to press statutory rape charges against Colver.

Friends had urged Colver and Witt to give themselves up via their MySpace and Facebook profiles.

"We're all worried about you here," one Facebook associate wrote on Colver's profile. "You once told me that you would never be capable of such a thing. Prove me right."

"You can't run forever," said another Facebook associate.

Colver and Witt have been associated with the gothic scene. Colver's vanity URL on MySpace refers to a character in Japanese literature who battles with incestual feelings.
