42 year old Juan Delgado Jr. has been charged with second degree murder in connection with the disappearance and death of Krista Hunt.
Krista was last seen with Delgado Jr on January 25, and she was officially reported missing on February 1st.
On March 12, 2026, Krista’s remains were found along the Skagit River, just east of Concrete near milepost 90. The coroner was unable to determine an exact cause of death, but noted she had a broken jaw, broken ribs, and a broken neck.
Delgado reportedly told friends she was hit by a car, but investigators say that is unsubstantiated.
Investigators found her blood and hair inside Delgado’s truck. After she disappeared he reportedly tried to take his own life and told police he “missed Krista.”
Delgado appeared in Skagit County Superior Court yesterday where his bail was set at $1 million. He was already in jail for prior charges related to possession of an explosive device.

Investigation
Krsita’s mother says her daughter’s boyfriend was abusive, and claims that she took her to the hospital a few weeks before her disappearance where she was treated for a broken leg.
Two days after Krista was reported missing her boyfriend shot himself at a bar in Concrete. He survived.
