I feel horrible saying this but I think the husband of one of the lunch truck victims is acting a little bit strange. His name is Alvin Hogue, husband of Romelia Vargas.
In an interview with a local TV station, when asked about the allegations that his wife was involved in selling drugs, he told them that the couple had been struggling financially and he asked her to do whatever she could to help. He also said he never encouraged her to do anything illegal in nature, and he said quote: "if she had anything to do with any of that, then she paid the ultimate price."
He pretty much said that if she was involved with drugs that she got what she deserved. She had been murdered apx 3 months prior to that interview on May 17 and he just seemed...I don't know, odd. The other woman's boyfriend said that she would never be involved in that, and that she just recently switched trucks because of that and he was positive she wasn't involved - he defended her. But this Alvin Hogue guy seemed to say "oh well, if she was involved with drugs than she deserves what happened." At least, thats how I took it.
The most recent interview, however, about the drug allegations that police are saying are not involved in her murder, he states "...and I never believed it, not for a minute. She's in a good place because she's a good woman and she did not deserve that." a direct contradiction to his previous interview.
He also spoke directly to the killer: "Do the right thing in your heart and come forward and...lets bring this all to an end."
I'm preparing for the tar and feather treatment here, but if you go to azcentral.com and click on the video link titled: 'Police tie two murders to Baseline Killer' and watch it, you will see his expression. It looks like he's forcing out tears, he doesn't seem sincere at all. Of course, everyone deals with grief different, and this could just be his 'way'. But something isnt right.
IMO, he even looks like the sketch. I really hope the Phx PD is taking a closer look at this guy.
