On December 5, 2022, hip-hop artist Nesly Monterroso was discovered dead in a barrel after she was reported missing. She was last seen leaving her office in Guatemala three days ago and did not return.

According to the US Sun, Monterroso died from being hit in the head, and the barrel was found in the back of an abandoned vehicle. The barrel reportedly contained liquid. The locals contacted the authorities after finding the vehicle in an abandoned state, and the National Civil Police Officers immediately came to the spot.

A murder investigation has already begun, although the motive behind her killing is still a mystery. Guatemalan residents reacted to the incident online and said that they spotted signs of violence on Monterroso's body.

A few days ago on December 3, Massachusetts native John Wayne Potter was found dead, and his identity was confirmed by his family. The situation was similar to how Nesly Monterroso's body was discovered.

According to authorities, Potter's body was recovered from a chest freezer in a basement on Coburn Street. Moreover, he was also confirmed to be missing since Thanksgiving. Potter's stepmother, Donna, said that when she heard the news of his disappearance, she had doubts.

John Potter was 37 years old at the time of death, and authorities reported that his roommates were the culprits behind his murder. The suspects were identified as Michael Burke and Samantha Perry, who reportedly kidnapped Potter and locked him inside their residence. The duo later stated that someone else choked Potter to death on November 23 by threatening him with a gun.

Potter's family also launched a fundraiser to cover his funeral expenses. He was described as an individual who loved those close to him.

In addition to that, 23 years ago, Potter's sister Tabitha was discovered dead, and reportedly there were signs of r*pe and strangulation. The culprit involved in her death committed suicide a few days later.
