44-year-old Isabel Christina Zuluaga was stabbed to death by her 13-year-old son who was reported to have gone back to sleep after the incident. A contractor who was hired to do some work on the house in Simpsonville was said to have discovered her blood dripping through the floorboards the next morning.
The child stabbed the mother with a long blade knife at 9 p.m. Monday and then told police he went to sleep. He was awakened the next morning by the contractor.

Simpsonville home where the incident took place

"When the contractor came it startled him because apparently he did not realize a contractor was coming," the sheriff said. "So he went under the crawl space to hide because he did not know who was knocking at the door. But the worker found the boy and told him to leave so he could get started on his work. But then he noticed blood dripping from above, went inside the house and discovered the dead body of Cristina. He called police who conducted a manhunt for the child with several agencies, a K-9 dog and helicopter. They found him a few hours later on foot near a highway, and Loftis said the teen admitted to the "horrific" crime.
The weapon was left inside the home as well as other evidence that points to him committing the murder, Loftis said.
He is currently in custody and a Family Court judge will determine if the 13-year-old will be tried as an adult or juvenile, Loftis said.
It was reported that the victim suffered multiple injuries and died from stab wounds to the torso. The child's father did not live in the home and police are still investigating a possible motive, Loftis said. His name was not released because of his age, but Loftis said he had no history of disciplinary problems and he was a straight-A student.
