Missing Florida teenager Miya Marcano "repeatedly rebuffed" the romantic advances of Armando Manuel Caballero, a person of interest in the case, authorities in Orange County, Florida, said at a press conference on Monday.

Orange County Sheriff John Mina said that Caballero, 27, who was a maintenance worker at Marcano's apartment complex, had a romantic interest in her and that the 19-year-old had rejected his advances.

Caballero was found dead in his apartment of an apparent suicide, Insider previously reported.

Mina added that Caballero was classified as a person of interest after investigators discovered that he used a master key to let himself into Marcano's apartment moments before she was last seen by family and friends on Friday.

Police have said they suspect "foul play" in the teen's disappearance.
