And now, Verk is finally seeing the first steps of justice being served against the man she believes was behind her daughter’s disappearance.

“I would ask him just to tell me what happened that night. I really would just ask him to tell me, so I could know.”

“It would be a relief for him to let us know what the truth is,” she added.

This is such a relief! I was afraid killing ZuZu would be considered an unpremeditated crime of passion and he'd get charged with manslaughter. But they clearly believe it was premeditated. Is this a case of "If I can't have you, no one can have you"?

That's about what I've been thinking. I'm leaning towards premeditated foul play resulting in murder. Drug overdose or suffocation during/after rape.
 
If he lost his temper and beat her in a rage he could have killed her. He's twice her size. Not necessarily premeditated but murder by definition.

Yes. If death results from the intention (or premeditation, which can be right before the act AFAIK) to cause harm (beating or rape for example), it's murder in TX. Sentence ranges from 5-99 years. He wasn't charged with capital murder, which would bring the death sentence or life without parole. Here's hoping he gets a very long sentence.

In order to be charged with murder, the defendant must have knowingly and willingly caused the death of another person. The biggest distinguishing factor between murder and manslaughter involves the intent of the perpetrator. If the defendant intended to cause serious bodily harm or death, or intended to commit a felony other than manslaughter that resulted in death, he or she can be charged with murder.

More at link about difference between manslaughter and murder.

ETA: Oops! I guess this link isn't allowed for some reason. It's an attorney. All of this can be googled.

http://www.tarrant*********************/the-difference-between-manslaughter-and-murder-in-texas/

After conviction for murder the defendant can argue that it was a crime of passion. I would expect RF to do this.

Penal Code Section 19.02(d) provides that once a defendant is found guilty of murder, he may prove that his actions occurred under certain circumstances that entitle him to a lesser degree of punishment. He must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he caused the death under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause.

Much more at link, explaining the differences between murder and capital murder.

Zuzu Verk to be laid to rest on Sunday

(KWES) -
Zuzu Verk, whose remains were found near the City of Alpine last month, will be laid to rest on Sunday.

We're told the private ceremony will be held in the Dallas area and only family and close friends will be in attendance.
Verk, who was attending Sul Ross State University in Alpine, was last seen back on Oct. 12, 2016. Verk was reported missing two days later by Fabian.

Fabian's total bond has been set at $925,000.

There's no word yet exactly how Verk died as that is still under investigation.

Robert Fabian, the ex-boyfriend of Zuzu Verk, was indicted on Friday on charges of murder in connection with the case, along with another charge of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence by concealing a human corpse.

Hundreds of family members and friends gathered over the weekend to celebrate the life of Zuzu Verk.

The service was held at the temple the family attended, and saw speakers from all aspects of her life.

"Friends, family, the Alpine Police Department, the attorney general's office, the City of Alpine and surrounding communities, thank you for searching for Zuzu, thank you for praying for her and her family, thank you for loving her even if you didn't know her," said Rabbi Geoffrey Dennis, "Thank you for making her your lost daughter."

Two officers with the Alpine Police Department were also in attendance to represent the City of Alpine and Brewster County.

"I could never forget her. She'll be my heart, mind and soul as long as I draw breath in this world," said Miles Verk, Zuzu's brother, "And one day, I hope to see her beautiful face, hear her twisted humor and then her unforgettable laugh once again."

Zuzu's family sends their love to Alpine and all of those who cared enough to search, hang pictures and show support to her family.
