Her ex-boyfriend, Roy Blanco, 33, was considered a person of interest in the disappearance of Gonzalez. Monroe County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Becky Herrin said deputies found Blanco with a woman believed to be his mother in Big Coppitt Key on Tuesday.
Blanco died after stabbing himself in the stomach. His mother remains at Lower Keys Medical Center after ingesting an unknown amount of pills.
Gonzalez's family is preparing for her wake, scheduled for Friday, and her funeral, which will be held Saturday.
