DENVER -- The Denver District Attorney has filed first degree murder charges against Travis Forbes for the death of Kenia Monge, the 19-year-old Aurora woman whose remains were unearthed in a field along Interstate 76 on Wednesday.
“The charge alleges that in the early morning hours of April 1, 2011, Forbes met the victim, convinced her to get into his car, and later killed her,” the DA’s office said in a statement. “Her body was recovered yesterday in an area of south Weld County after new information was developed jointly between the Denver DA’s Office and the Denver Police Department.”

He remained in custody in Fort Collins Thursday.
The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner has positively identified the remains as those of Monge. The cause of death, however, has not yet been determined.

Tony Lee previously said he wanted the District Attorney’s Office to offer Forbes a deal in exchange for him leading them to Kenia’s body.
A law enforcement source tells FOX31 Denver that Forbes was taken to the scene where the body was discovered Wednesday; indicating that a deal was likely reached. "
