The body of María Florinda Ríos Pérez, a Guatemalan woman killed in Indiana, has been returned to her native country. Ríos, a mother of four, was shot on Nov. 5 while mistakenly trying to clean the wrong house in Whitestown. Prosecutors charged Curt Andersen with voluntary manslaughter. He allegedly fired through his door, believing someone was breaking in. Ríos and her husband were part of a cleaning crew. Her family received her body Sunday at the airport and planned to transport her to her hometown. Her sister shared memories of their last conversation, recalling Ríos's excitement for her son's upcoming birthday.
