Friends Join Search For Missing Mother

The case of a missing Winston-Salem mother of three took another twist on Wednesday when a friend of the couple said the woman's husband gave her a different explanation for where the woman was.

(Snipped)

Reyes said Maria Rodriguez's children told him that the couple was arguing and had locked themselves inside a bedroom.

After Maria Rodriguez was knocked unconscious, the children said they saw their father carrying her over his shoulder, loading her into a car and driving away, Reyes said.

Reyes said the children told him that their father was taking her to a hospital, but not to call the police because police would think he was responsible for his wife's injury.

Merlyn Rodriguez, who planned to join the search on Wednesday afternoon along with other friends of the victim, told WXII's Jermont Terry that she became suspicious about the whereabouts of her friend, Maria Rodriguez, last week when Rodriguez's husband, Juan Carlos Rodriguez, said his wife had stepped out of the house for a moment and would return.

That story differs from information a neighbor of the couple, Alcides Reyes, told WXII on Monday.

Reyes said Maria Rodriguez's children told him that the couple was arguing and had locked themselves inside a bedroom.

After Maria Rodriguez was knocked unconscious, the children said they saw their father carrying her over his shoulder, loading her into a car and driving away, Reyes said.

I don't know if this is related but I thought I'd post it just in case:

NCHP and Wake County Sheriff's Office are searching woods between Avent Ferry Road and Interstate 40 in Raleigh.

Authorities with the Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the remains to be those of an adult female. Police are investigating the case as a homicide.

Captain David Clayton said they are not ruling out the possibility the remains are those of Maria Rodrigeuz, the 31 year-old mother who was last seen November 18.

So, not only is he going to brutally beat his wife and kill/nearly kill her in their home with his 3 kids within feet from his crime.....he is also going to USE his children and force them to lie for him to help conceal his crime.

Utterly disgusting. I keep thinking these cases don't...can't......get worse. Somehow I am always proven wrong.
 
From March 2014:

Juan Carlos Rodriguez hung his head Friday as a Forsyth County jury recommended that he be put to death for strangling his estranged wife to death three years ago and then decapitating her.

The jury took just two hours and 20 minutes before announcing its decision at 10:05 a.m. Friday. Judge Stuart Albright of Forsyth Superior Court accepted the jury&#8217;s recommendation and imposed the death sentence on Rodriguez...

The jury found Juan Rodriguez guilty on March 10 of first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon.

N.C. Supreme Court vacates death sentence of Winston-Salem man convicted of strangling, decapitating wife

The N.C. Supreme Court on Friday vacated the death sentence of Juan Carlos Rodriguez, a Winston-Salem man convicted four years ago of strangling his estranged wife to death and cutting her head off.

In a 5-2 decision, the court ruled that Superior Court Judge Stuart Albright, who presided over Rodriguez’s 2014 trial, failed to submit the statutory mitigating factor that Rodriguez’s “capacity ... to appreciate the criminality of his conduct or to conform to the requirements of law was impaired.”

The high court upheld Rodriguez’s murder conviction.

The decision means that the case will be sent back to Forsyth Superior Court for a new sentencing hearing at a later date. A new jury will have to be selected, and that jury will have to weigh both aggravating and mitigating factors to see whether Rodriguez should be sentenced to death or to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
