Martinez pleads not guilty. Next hearing is December 29. Trial set for February 29.

IMO, he is just stalling for more time away from maximum security prison. He is going to end up there.......no strip clubs, no fancy watches, no nice shoes.

The murder trial for Alfredo Martin Martinez, accused of killing his girlfriend, Selena Thomas, and burying her body in a corn field south of Melba has been pushed back to June to allow defense attorneys additional time to review evidence in the case.

Martinez, 38, of Nampa, was scheduled to go to trial in February. Defense attorney Kimberly Simmons told 3rd District Judge Molly Huskey on Monday that she recently received a large amount of discovery information from prosecutors and needs time to go through it.

NAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT PRESS RELEASE February 5, 2015- Nampa Idaho

In mid August of 2014, a report of a missing Nampa woman resulted in a homicide investigation and subsequent arrests for murder and accessories to murder.
Nampa Police investigated the murder of Selena Thomas last year which resulted in several arrests, to include the arrest of the suspect, Nampa resident, Alfredo Martinez Jr.

On February 4, 2015, one more person was arrested as part of that investigation. 44-year-old Nampa resident, Elizabeth Ann Wood was charged and arrested with attempted destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence for her involvement in the Thomas homicide. She was arrested on a warrant and booked into the Canyon County Jail. Wood has since posted the $20,000 bond for her release pending trial.

Wood is alleged to have attempted to have cell phone records linking one of the accessories to the crime concealed and destroyed. Records were seized by police and did play a role in identifying leads to outcome of the investigation.
Investigators have been and will continue to follow up and investigate information related to this case.
