## Key points

- Her phone was found on Santa Monica Beach after she disappeared.
- Detectives are preparing the case for prosecutors.

## Summary

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of killing Christina Downer, who disappeared in Los Angeles nearly a year ago. The case has drawn attention because Downer was the sister of Saturday Night Live writer Jimmy Fowlie, who publicly appealed for help and later said his family had been told she was dead.

Police arrested Downer’s boyfriend, Delorean Bijon Brandon, 41, and Kaylee Nicole Markowski, 34, on 29 October; each was booked with bail set at $2 million. Detectives allege they killed Downer, disposed of her body and tried to conceal their involvement. Her phone was later found on Santa Monica Beach, and investigators searched an Airbnb in Joshua Tree, though authorities have not said what they found. The investigation is ongoing, with the case expected to go to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges.
