The state Department of Justice announced Tuesday that Cassandra
Ayon’s remains were found on private property in the town of
Brighton in Marathon County on Saturday.
Ayon was 27 when she was last seen driving away from a mobile
home park in Unity in October 2020.
A jury convicted Jesus Contreras-Perez of Mosinee in June 2022
of first-degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse and
stalking causing bodily harm in connection with Ayon’s
disappearance. He was sentenced to life in prison in September
2022.
Contreras-Perez and Ayon had been in a relationship and had a
son together, according to a WSAW-TV report on his sentencing.
They had broken up shortly before Ayon disappeared and friends
told investigators that Ayon had said Contreras-Perez had
threatened and stalked her, according to a Central Wisconsin
News report on his sentencing. Contreras-Perez insisted during
the sentencing hearing that he was innocent and investigators
targeted him.
