Story summary

Jill Bunyan, the mother of June Bunyan, a Scottish woman killed in Los Angeles, is frustrated with the lack of communication from US authorities about the whereabouts of her granddaughter. June's body was found dismembered in September 2025, and her husband, Jonathan Renteria, has been charged with murder, mutilation, and child cruelty but has pleaded not guilty. Jill learned about a recent court hearing only two weeks after it occurred on September 4, the one-year anniversary of June's disappearance. The case was continued until October. June, who moved to California in 2023 and had just started a paralegal firm after graduating from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen with a law degree, is remembered for her professional achievements. Jill claims that inadequate communication has severely affected her health beyond the loss of her daughter.
