Per reports, the boyfriend, later identified as Mark, was reportedly shocked when he woke up at the bottom of a ravine after a drunken crash to find the body of his dead girlfriend next to him, but instead of calling 911, he decided to fuIfiII his seIfish desire before caIIing 911! He was later charged with negligent homicide, DUI and other offenses related to the drunken crash that killed his girlfriend, 20-year-old Ciara.

Reports explain that Mark took his girlfriend on a joyride down a narrow canyon road and because he was drunk, he was unable to properly navigate the already challenging one-lane dirt road. At one point during the drive, Mark said he lost control of the vehicle and caused it to roll off the road and fall 200 feet into a ravine at the bottom of the cliff. Perez was ejected from the vehicle and died, and Mark blacked out during the crash.

Early the next morning, hours after the crash, Mark finally came to and noticed Ciara’s body outside of the vehicle next to him. After touching her to get confirmation she was dead, Mark decided that instead of immediately calling 911, he would drink the beers he still had with him. Nearly an hour and a half after he awoke to the tragic scene, Mark stumbled out of the car and got to a place with cellphone service so that he could call 911.

First responders arrived at the scene and declared Ciara dead, and police discovered an empty beer case and partially finished bottles in the debris. Wyler was taken to the hospital and treated for the injuries from the wreck. A breathalyzer test at the hospital revealed Mark’s blood alcohol content was 0.000, but due to the evidence found at the scene followed by his admission, Mark was arrested and charged for the drunken crash.
