LOS ANGELES -- Police searched the home of the ex-husband of a real estate agent who was found dead in the trunk of her car last week.
Two computers and bags of personal items were seized from Erwin Howard's home in El Segundo, Calif.
Police were investigating the death of Julia Buchanan Keller, who vanished on July 8. She was discovered in San Diego a week later.
Howard flew to Bolivia two days after his ex-wife disappeared. He says he went there to help his ailing, 86-year-old mother.
He came back the same day Keller's body was found and has been interviewed by authorities. He says he has nothing to do with the killing.

interesting about the search on ex-husband's home - he is No. 1 on suspect list for me - the Bolivia trip sounds fishy to me - who goes there for only 4 days? Probably trying to establish an alibi - but what was he doing with body for two days before he left - reminds me somewhat of case few years ago of TRW man considered suspect in death of his wife in Redondo Beach - said she went shopping, missing and found her body in trunk of car also few miles away - theory was he rode home on bicycle - anyway for those not familiar with case, he eventually committed suicide without ever being charged with crime.

Man Says He Had Nothing To Do With 'Horrible Nightmare'
LOS ANGELES -- The ex-husband of a South Bay real estate agent who turned up dead in the trunk of her Mercedes-Benz in San Diego told the Daily Breeze that he had nothing to do with the "horrible nightmare."
Erwin Howard, 50, told the newspaper detectives searched his El Segundo home in the 800 block of Hillcrest Street and took a DNA sample from him, but he denied any involvement in the apparent murder.
Howard had taken a trip to Bolivia to visit his ailing mother about the time ex-wife Julia "Deede" Keller disappeared July 8.
"If I had anything to do with it, I would have fled the country and got lost there," Keller's second husband told the newspaper. "I came back. I chose to come back."
San Diego police, checking out Keller's ticketed E320 sedan, found the 55-year-old woman's body in the trunk on July 15, but authorities, acting on a request by Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives, refused to disclose the cause of death.
So far, detectives have said little about what may have happened to the woman.
"Every day it's a nightmare," Howard told the Daily Breeze. "This is nothing but a horrible nightmare."
Police appeared to be watching Howard's home after he returned July 15, the Daily Breeze reported. Shortly after noon Tuesday, police dressed in dark clothing and armed with a battering ram raided Howard's home. A roommate wrapped in a towel was escorted outside moments later, a neighbor told the newspaper.
Keller, who worked for Shorewood Realtors for 13 years, reportedly disappeared after a date dropped her off at her home in the 500 block of Richmond Street. The date reportedly also was questioned.
A funeral is scheduled for 4 p.m. next Thursday at American Martyrs Church, 624 15th St., in Manhattan Beach.

I haven't heard a thing. I guess they don't have a whole lot of leads, it's a really strange case. Hopefully they'll nail whoever did this to Julia.
