Just to put into perspective. "At least half of all farm workers in the United States are undocumented Mexican immigrants." The High Cost of Cheap Labor - Modern Farmer

A key question now is whether she was alive when he placed her in the trunk. She could not be abducted if she were deceased. If they believe she was alive, then more charges will follow. There are other charges such as abuse of a deceased person or tampering with evidence, etc. that could cover...

For some of us, we uptake info from here to use in other settings away from this board. I learned something. I always do when I study another case. It's about lessons learned and maybe preventing something like it from happening again or aiding in other cases. If you don't learn, this is all for...

Wondering if there are any others? He seems to have his schtick pretty well practiced.

A couple of sleuthers early on - don't recall their names - advocated she was possibly hit by a car while jogging and then abducted by the driver that hit her. Whoever that was, you were closer to being right than anyone else.

In my childhood in small-town Ky. in the early 60s, at age 12-13, my friends and I would leave early on a Saturday morning, ride bikes out of town, play in ponds or dam up a small creek, skip rocks, fish, climb trees, throw hedge apples, shoot sling shots, no cell phones, no real plans left with...

Does he live alone? I ask that because to the best of my knowledge, you now have to show ID to get utility services. I have to give Comcast my SSN to get broadband service. About the only thing you don't need ID for is a burner phone.

I would suppose his vehicle ownership, licensing, taxation and insurance are questions for another day.

wonder how he was able to support himself for 4-5 years if he was illegal, had to work for someone

If this perp is being held on federal charges, the US Marshal's service has agreements with specific jails to hold their prisoners. May or may not include the local jail, have no idea.

Washington Post says suspect is subject to a federal immigration detainer. "Iowa state investigators said Tuesday they have a suspect in custody who is subject to a federal immigration detainer, typically an indication that the person is present in the United States illegally." Investigators...

IMO Any detained suspect or material witness in this case would be held in a more secure and advanced facility with the technical and staff ability to have round the lock eyes on the detainee .... who would most likely be on a suicide watch as most people in these high profile situations are, as...

Among the defense bar, it also a commonly offered legal excuse to explain away something worse. As a society, we still impose significantly lesser penalties for vehicular homicide type cases. Peg it on a good person who made a mistake while driving ....

Typically, the choice of an elective drop site reveals much about the perp. IMO - they found her because the perp was sweated last night in Montezuma and gave it up. Cant see that questioning continuing long without an atty acquiescing.

Early on - right place wrong guy IMO

IMO - going to have a connection to dump site. Possibly ag worker.
