The alleged motive is "a tumultuous divorce" according to LE. They believe this was a preplanned murder. The reporter asked if the motive was to "get back at his estranged wife" and LE said "correct".
Oh - I found this cute picture of little Ara!
JUSTICE for ARA!

Oh geez - I guess I didn't have to take notes - forgot about that new invention - Twitter! :giggle:
Thanks for those tweets liltexans!
Took some notes for anyone that didn't see it.
*L.A. County Sheriff Jim McDonnell - Ara was "becoming a flight risk"
*DA Jackie Lacy - called it "murder" / no body found / 25 years to life.
*Homicide Lt Joe Mendoza (LA Sheriff):
Was uner surveillance / in Vegas for 47 days /not acting as a greiving parent / no evidence Ara Jr. left country / Ara Sr. was making plans to leave country / motive - tumultuous (sp?) divorce / evidence shows (computer?) preplanned event / new evidence - not sharing / up to DA to release evidence / not cooperative at all / untruths (lies!) / socializing in Vegas / won't go into his activities there / no other person involved / will continue searches for little Ara.
Took place better 2am to 8am - 6 hours unaccounted for on April 21st / confirmed times with survellience video at lake / lots of circumstantial evidence but can't go into it.
That about it!
You did great! I couldn't write fast enough. Did I hear them say he was making plans to leave country to another one without extradition treaty? I think they may have said that.
Ditto on the great job!
And yes, they did say they believed he was planning to flee to where he could not be extradited.
I also want to add that Ana's statement really hit hard because on a previous statement Gigi Graciette reported on her behalf, she was still hopeful. At this point with the statement provided today it appears that she is no longer hopeful that her son is alive and rather accepting the heartbreak.

One other thing I found noteworthy was that the LEO answered very confidently that he believes AA Sr was attempting to take his own life that morning he took pills and doused his car in gasoline.
