Special to The News-Sentinel
TOLUCA, MEXICO When Simon Rios siblings finally got the news, they cried.
Then, they looked on the Internet.
Simon Rios Mexican kin, none of whom had ever clicked a computer mouse, got help from family and friends and began scouring the Web for details of the events involving their brother.
The family had no inkling their brother sat in an Allen County Jail cell awaiting trial on charges of strangling his wife, Ana Casas, and their three daughters Liliana 10; Kathy, 4, and Thannya, 1 until they returned a call Friday from a reporter who had left a note with an aunt two states away.
Officials investigating the disappearance and death of 10-year-old Alejandra Gutierrez have also identified Rios as the suspect in that case.
I was speechless, said Brigida Rios, 29, Simon Rios youngest sister and the first to get the news. I couldnt believe it.
Said Pastor Rios, 35, one of Simon Rios two older brothers: I was in downtown Toluca when I got the call. When I got back to the office, everyone was waiting for me. I still cant believe it.
It was unclear to his family why Simon Rios had not yet contacted them. They thought maybe shame or concern for his elderly parents health Antonio Rios is 77 and Maria Luisa García is 76 were to blame, his family
