Prosecutors charged a Utah man with murder Friday, alleging he killed his adult daughter, a Salt Lake County sheriff’s deputy.

Thanks for starting this thread. I saw Marbella's story this morning.

Sadly, yet another female dead due to domestic violence (her dad). As @LadyL said, so creepy. I hope the father will be found and extradited back to the US.

So sad, and creepy indeed.

I wonder if he had been abusing her -- the stalking, hoarding of her underthings and frantic jealous texting suggest something of the sort, whether fantasy or realized. Blech.

Police described text messages that Martinez received from her father as “more of the nature of a jealous lover than a father.” Authorities also cited more disturbing incidents involving Martinez’s father and how he allegedly behaved toward his adult child.

Police said text messages Hector Ramon Martinez-Ayala sent his 25-year-old daughter were "more of the nature of a jealous lover than a father.”

ewww article says in addition to underthings he was collecting her used hygiene products. I hope they are able to locate and extradite this man for his crimes.
