- Details of Disappearance:
- Kantonen disappeared from her boyfriend’s family’s property in California on March 8, 1989. She was pregnant and unhappy because her boyfriend’s father, Arnold Aggas Sr., was mean, had made her uncomfortable, and was angry about her pregnancy. He also stopped her from getting medical care. Aggas reported Kantonen missing, saying she’d left a letter explaining she ran off with a truck driver. But Kantonen’s mom didn’t believe it.
Years later, in 2011, Aggas was arrested for sex crimes. The police found evidence linking him to Kantonen’s disappearance and death. In 2014, he admitted to causing the deaths of Kantonen and her unborn baby (involuntary manslaughter) and trying to stop someone from talking to the police. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison but was released early in 2019. Police believe Aggas is responsible for Kantonen’s death.
