Alyssa Noceda died of an overdose while allegedly being raped by Brian Varela in Washington state, on Saturday
A Washington state man allegedly raped an 18-year-old woman while she was dying from a drug overdose at a house party and then hacked her social media account to make believe she was alive.
The suspect, a resident of Lynwood raped a teenager as she was dying from a drug overdose, then hacked into her cellphone in an attempt to cover up the death, according to police reports filed in court.
Brian Roberto Varela, was arrested Tuesday after bragging to his Dairy Queen co-workers in Snohomish County that Alyssa Noceda died during sexual intercourse last Saturday, the Spokesman-Review reported.
Varela, 19, was arrested Tuesday for investigation of rape, manslaughter and homicide by controlled substance.
“She was just an innocent 18-year-old girl, having fun, and was taken advantage of,” said Gina Pierson, Noceda’s mother, in court Wednesday.
Noceda met Varela at a party in a mobile home Varela shared with his roommate.
He texted, “LOL I think she od’d, still breathing,” and shared photos of a semi-nude unconscious woman with swollen blue lips to a group chat, court papers say. He added he was having sex to “pass the time.”
The next morning, Varela stepped out of his room and said he needed help. He showed him the dead teen on his bed. Varela told his roommate that she snorted a line of crushed Percocet pills, took a “dab” of liquid THC and passed out, according to the roommate’s account.
The roommate later told police he told Varela to call police, instead, the suspect went to work a double shift at a local Dairy Queen. The roommate told sheriff’s deputies he saw the girl alive after 9 p.m. Saturday.

At work, Varela reportedly boasted to his co-workers about the sex and said he planned to take her to the hospital but went to sleep because he was too tired.
After coming home, he stuffed Noceda’s body in a plastic tub and tried removing evidence, Varela told police. He then used her fingerprints to unlock her iPhone to make a Snapchat post appearing as if she ran away from home.
Afterward, he tossed the phone away at a construction site, he told deputies.
One of Varela’s co-workers went to the police Tuesday after seeing a social media post from Noceda’s mother saying her daughter was missing.
