THE husband of a woman found dead in a forest was caught on a home security camera lugging a large object wrapped in a sheet.

A neighbour’s Ring camera footage allegedly shows 36-year-old Jossimar Cabrera hauling an oddly-shaped sack – which investigators fear contained his wife’s body.

The footage was captured on August 12 near Cabrera’s Los Angeles County home.

It was taken in the dead of night, and shows the man dragging a covered object along an empty street.

His 33-year-old wife Sheylla Cabrera had been reported missing.

But sadly her body was found the following day in Angeles National Forest wrapped in a sheet.

Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team found an object with similar material to what was being dragged in the video, according to NBC Los Angeles.

A cause of death is to be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.

After she was identified, investigators went to their family home to find out more.

But when they arrived, Jossimar and the couple’s three children were nowhere to be found.

They were initially declared missing, but the kids were subsequently found in Peru.

Jossimar, a Peruvian national, had taken the children there as he fled the United States before the discovery of his wife’s body, according to FoxLA.

Their kids are now in protective custody, NBC Los Angeles has reported.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is working with Peruvian law enforcement to track down Jossimar in Peru.

They intend to extradite him to the United States – where it is believed he will face murder charges.

He had reportedly been briefly detained at an airport in Peru, but was released as his wife’s body had not been discovered at that point.

Sheylla’s cause of death is yet to be confirmed.

According to neighbours, she had said her husband was physically abusive.

One neighbour told NBC Los Angeles: “It’s scary, very spooky.

“I don’t know what and a person’s right mind will want to do that to the mother of their kids.”
