GUILTY CA - Christie Wilson, 27, murdered, Roseville, 5 Oct 2005 *found in 2020*

[chicoliving]

The wife of the Auburn man accused of killing Christie Wilson is speaking out for the first time on the case, in an exclusive interview with FOX40 News.

Jean Garcia agreed to the interview with FOX40's Rowena Shaddox on the condition that she would not answer specific questions about the investigation.

"The first was very difficult. I felt like, that we've been invaded, our privacy and we've become such an open book", Jean Garcia said, talking about the first time investigators searched their Placer County home. "The house search was scary, and with the shock of what is happening that, especially for me, is that we've, I was like in a nightmare that, that I'm (in) now. I can't wake up."

Attorneys for Mario Garcia, accused of murdering Christie Wilson last year, were in an Auburn courtroom Tuesday hoping to suppress evidence, specifically stating that Garcia's car was "seized" illegally.

Evidence found in the car may be critical to the prosecution's case because DNA evidence from two hairs found in and on the vehicle were tested and found to belong to Wilson. Wilson's body has not been found.

There should be another search starting in the next few weeks as soon as the weather settles a bit. I'll post more when I know more.

Does anyone else out there just want to scream:banghead: . If he was at the police station with his attorney and left without the car his attorney had to of been aware they were searching it. But then he might be smart enough to allow it so he could get any evidence thrown out. I pray they find her body soon. For her family and for the trial.

A ruling Thursday in the murder case of Christie Wilson is seen as a big win for prosecutors.

The judge in the case ruled against the defense, who claimed that police searched murder suspect Mario Garcia's car illegally.

A ruling in favor of the defense would have meant throwing out evidence of Wilson's hair found in Garcia's car, according to investigators.

Also Thursday, News10 learned the state Department of Justice is analyzing other evidence found in Garcia's car that is not the evidence ruled on in today's hearing. The department's lab in Sacramento is in the process of analyzing the car's back seat which was removed from the car.

I'm hoping this is the beginning of many "wins" for the prosecution!! It wouldn't hurt to find more evidence from the back seat either. It's past time to nail this .

reading from my local paper yesterday...

The defense is expected to file another motion to supress evidence taken from Garcia's car during a Jan. 5 search. It was at that time that Calif. Dept of Justice checked the back seat of the Camry for "trace evidence."

and I noticed on your quote above that the CDoJ is IN THE PROCESS of analyzing this stuff!! Hoping :fingerscrossed: that they DO find more and ANOTHER win for the prosecution! :dance:

In case it still doesn't work here's a few comments that seemed odd considering...

After Christie vanished, her mother publicly urged Jean Garcia to "do the right thing," and come forward with information, implying Jean knew something. Jean Garcia told us "That was pretty difficult when she was making comments. Sort of like attacking the family. That was almost like you're in such a rage and you just want to beat up everybody that's the bystander. It was very hard to take and it's OK. I know, I feel her pain. Like I said earlier, neither one of us wants to be in any of our shoes. It's a very difficult situation for both families and that it's definitely a lesson to everybody that life can change in a second, totally."

Jean Garcia continued, "We're just in one part in time in our path and everybody has a past. That's what we've been walking. Mario's journey with me is we've been walking together for 21 years. If I want to choose another life, I wouldn't want to be where I am today. But I'm put in this situation, not by choice I don't think. It's a very difficult journey to walk."

I went to the vigil but didn't find any WS'ers

yeah.... I know.... like I said on another thread... life interrupted that...

I was interviewed by a reporter from the Auburn Journal and plugged websleuths as much as I could

well... unfortunately I did NOT read ANY thing about websleuths in the paper... I would definitely had posted one of your quotes chico!! :dance:

I WILL be there at the court house on April 24th, as I am taking a vacation day to be there! are you?? or anyone else reading here?? I'll take (hopefully!) really good notes!

like you said earlier... definitely a fruit loop... sorry, no offense anyone!

 

[Niner]

here's a quote from the article (and thanks, chico, that second one worked better!) - it's the part before where I bolded chico's quote in the above post:

Later reports about Mario Garcia's past surfaced, including an allegation of rape and whether he was involved in the death of an old girlfriend. He does not face charges in those cases. Jean Garcia's response? "They have every right to have their own opinion. And some parts it's hard because sometimes you feel like you're standing in the middle of the circle and everybody is throwing rocks at you." But it's really hard because we've become an open book and we really have to respect other people. And I do respect everybody."

wondering IF she knew about his past... about these two cases... maybe, maybe not... I wonder WHO those rock throwers were?? :waitasec:

No, nothing was in the article about WS....hopefully the reporter is checking us out though

I plan on joining the searches when they resume with better weather so the trial may not be possible for me although I haven't discounted the idea just planning on the searches being more of a priority at this time. The 24th is a Monday so if I were to go it wouldn't be til later in the week, Thurs or Fri. I'll see what I can do though to be there on the 24th though since you took a day off and all

that sounds good chico! I would, but work all day all week...

Then you can take over with the notes on Thurs or Friday!! I'd like to be there to 'see' the Opening Statements, and hopefully some of the defense's opening statements, which by the way - should be outrageous, if you ask me!! LOL!

Yes - I WILL be there - now I have to go back on this thread and check out the driving instructions to get there, as I don't "know" exactly which exit, which freeway to take at the moment! But I shall be there!

 

[Dr. Doogie]

This is my first post on this thread, so let me be up front: I think Garcia is probably guilty. That being said...does the prosecutions case seem as weak to anyone else as it does to me? Unless there is something big that has not become public yet, all they seem to have is two hairs that could be rationalized away by the defense by saying that it was transfered from Christie to MG when they walked out arm-in-arm, then transfered to the car by MG when he got in it alone.

One thing that has bothered me about this case from the beginning is the fact that it took place at a casino, the one place in the world that you should know you are being watched every minute you are there. Everybody is under constant survillence inside and out, and people can be easily traced by their players cards (exactly the way that MG was identified). If MG had wanted to kidnap a woman, he could have easily hung out at any dive bar, bought some woman a few drinks, enticed her to his car and then done his deed without being filmed or identified. Either MG is incredibly stupid or he is innocent. The first option is a distinct possibility, but I cannot rule out the second possibility either.

The murder trial for Mario Flavio Garcia will start six weeks later, a Placer Superior Court judge ruled today.

Judge Larry D. Gaddis moved the trial from April 24 to early June after meeting privately with the prosecutor and the attorneys for Garcia, 53, of Auburn, who is accused of killing 27-year-old Christie Wilson of Sacramento.

~snip~

The trial delay was granted to allow Garcia's attorneys to file a motion to exclude potential evidence or witnesses that they say could prejudice a jury.

Gaddis set an April 12 hearing for those arguments and June 6 to hear other motions at the beginning of trial. He set June 12 for selection of a jury.

[chicoliving]

I'm actually relieved....more time for Christie to be found before the trial begins.

Right now (with what we know) this case hinges on two hairs and a tape showing them walking out of the casino. More time for her to be found maybe with the trunk mat...that would seal his fate, imo.

Oh NO it doesn't!!!!!

Here's an article from Sunday in the Auburn Journal in the column "Perspective" by Jim Ruffalo

...the defense team for Mario Garcia is scheduled to return to court tomorrow afternoon.
Ostensibly the return appearance is for a second try to suppress some other evidence, but were told by two reliable sources that the defense will also use that time to slip into the chambers of Placer County Superior Court Judge Larry Gaddis for what's legally known as "in camera" discussions.
In that chambers "confab" - which the legal calendar lists as "a request for further procedures" - the defense reportedly will be seeking a continuance, hoping to postpone the trial which is set to being in less than 30 days. As soon as Gaddis gets a general idea of how the two sides feel about a postponement, the procedure will move back into open court for further discussions and a rulling.
The defense may also bring up a recent TV report on the case as reason enough to seek a postponement - sort of a cooling-off request.
Seeing as how both sides would both welcome more time - the prosecution to conduct further tests and defense to gather experts to try to knock down those test results - the expectation is that Gaddis will grant the motion.
At least one of those defense experts will have to attack the prosecution's claim that Garcia did not suffer those now-famous injuries while falling out of a tree. On the other hand falling out of a plausible tree-trimming alibi could be the least of Garcia's worries.
The one test result that could worry Garcia and his defense team the most - the results of which could be made available as early as this week - was one which began in November and has slowly plodded through state Dept of Justice labs. That test was conducted on a stain found in the back seat of Garcia's 2004 Camry.
A good guess at the results is that Garcia's blood was found in the stain, which could cause a problem should there not be a plausible explanation of how a driver's blood could get on the back seat of his own car.
Should be a no-brainer for Garcia to explain, seeing as how he bought the car in August of 2005, and the vehicle was impounded last October. If the tests do indeed show his blood on that back seat, it should be a slam-dunk for him to remember how it happened in the little time he owned that vehicle.
However, Garcia's problems could compound if a second so-called "minor sample" found in that same "mixed sample" stain mentioned in March 20 report turns out to also be human blood. And just think what happens in that same second trace turns out to be the blood of Christie Wilson...

soooo... there IS a stain that they took from the back seat - that ALSO will help the procsecution...

Guess I better tell my boss I will NOT be taking a vacation day on April 24th... shoot!!

Welcome to WS Dr Doogie! and true - Garcia WOULD have a pausible excuse on how Christie's hair got into his car - as he did touch her/bump her when they were walking out of that casino...

 

[Niner]

Gaddis set an April 12 hearing for those arguments and June 6 to hear other motions at the beginning of trial. He set June 12 for selection of a jury.

okay - I see THREE different dates here.... obviously the April 12th hearing will just be arguments, along with the June 6th date; I'm wondering if the June 12th will be JUST selecting a jury... and NOT opening statements... what do you think? I guess I'm just going to have to wait until then. Doesn't it USUALLY take about a few days to select a jury and THEN they go to opening statements?? just trying to get a date to tell my boss when I'll be taking off!! LOL!

 

[chicoliving]

Yes, jury selection takes a few days to a few weeks depending on the trial...probably a few days if I were to make a guess. The closer they get to picking the jury the more likely we'll get a better idea of when opening statements should begin. Of course, it could only take a day to seat the jury...

Yes, Mario, explain the stains in the back seat...you had that car for two months should be easy enough. Let Christie's dna sing loudly!!

 

[Dr. Doogie]

If the reported stain turns out to be Christie's blood, then he hangs. That's the sort of evidence that seems to be lacking from the case against MG. If it is MG's blood, again he could possibly explain it away. However, each "plausible" explaination becomes less plausible as the weight of circumstancial evidence mounts. You can only explain away so much before a jury's eyes start to roll.
