The "Find My Phone" app led the family of a missing pregnant teen straight to her bloodied body dumped in the Atlanta woods.

Loved ones of 16-year-old Mia Campos called police around 1 a.m., Tuesday, after she left their home the night before with an unknown person.

Her frantic father, Edward Campos, used a cell phone tracking app to locate his daughter in a wooded area off the side of a road, a minute away from their residence.

"I found my daughter laid face down," Campos said, according to WANF-TV. "It was hard. I knew it was something wrong – her lips, her bleeding nose. They murdered my baby."

The medical examiner ruled Mia's death a homicide, however a manner of death and a motive in her slaying has not been disclosed.

Mia's ex-boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, Jesus Monroy, was arrested Wednesday for giving false statements to an officer, but has not been named a suspect in her murder, according to the Gwinnett County Police.

"Justice is coming, soon," Campos vowed.

Now, instead of eagerly awaiting the September arrival of baby boy Sebastian, the Campos family is busy making funeral arrangements for their teenage daughter and unborn grandson, WXIA-TV reported.

"Mia, my daughter, the girl of my eyes, my baby, has passed away with her son in her belly," her mother, Miriam Zárate wrote, according to a GoFundMe launched to help defray burial costs. "I ask God to watch over her and her baby, now she and my grandson are in heaven with God."
