Im so happy they got him. For now. I hope they are able to persecute him.
It says on the video that he leaned the bag against the pillar, in the garage. The police used luminol and it came back positive to human blood.

Yes also during the hearing the prosecutor said that when Christopher Franz Bettocchi was interrogated said that the bag contained camping equipment more specifically a tent for four people, but the prosecutor argued if that was the case it you have been so difficult for him to carry it, the prosecutor played for the judge part of the security footage and it takes the So nearly ten minutes to finally put the bag in his SUV, the footage shows him dragging the bag and leaning it against a column then he gets in his SUV pulls out of his parking spot n positions his SUV perpendicular to the column in such a way that you can't see what's going on there you can see the the sub with its trunk open but it's hard to see what he is doin/ but after around ten minutes he closes the trunk gets in the sub and drives off

The prosecutor also said that believes those ten minutes he could've placed plastic bags on his trunk to avoid getting any blood in his trunk, and in fact luminol test came back negative for blood in the suv,however the crepe I need scene technicians did analyzed the blood that was found on the apartments.door,.on the hallway on some of the buttons of the building's elevator and in the floor of the parking garage and in the column were.he leaned the bag w Kim's remains while some of the blood stains were too small to recover a DNA sample, they were able to get a sample from some of the other stains that blood was compatriot a DNA sample that Kim's dad provided to the police and a match was made so at.this point the prosecutor believes that the blood recovered is Kim's and that she is deceased the investigation will focus on finding her body

Without the persistence and determination of the Kasatkin family, it’s possible Kimberlee’s disappearance may not have been investigated in a country with a high rate of gender violence.

The couple met several years ago on Vancouver Island, where Franz was attending college. They returned to his home country about three years ago, shortly before the birth of their second child.

Kimberlee was financially dependent on Franz and did not speak Spanish, said her mother. Although the abandonment claim immediately raised flags for her family, it’s unclear if anyone in Peru questioned it.

Disturbing video emerges in case of B.C. woman presumed dead in Peru

Warning: graphic details

Disturbing video showing a missing and presumed dead woman confronting the man charged with her murder has emerged about 19 months after her disappearance.

Kimberlee Susanne Kasatkin, 41, of Abbotsbord, B.C. was last heard from Nov. 26, 2016 while living in Peru. Her common-law partner Christopher Franz Bettocchi was charged with her murder in May 2017. Her body has never been found.

In the newly released video, broadcast as part of a 10-minute news report in Peru, she accuses him of punching her, pulling out her hair and terrorizing her in front of her two children. The report includes photos of Kasatkin’s bloody nose, swollen lip and facial and body bruises that are evidence of domestic abuse she suffered, say Abbotsford police, who embedded a link in a news release to a YouTube video of the local TV report.

What a sissy coward, imo.

“He grabbed the back of my hair; handfuls of hair, look, coming out,” Kasatkin says in the selfie-style video, showing her hair in the sink while a child cries in the background over a male voice. “So he pulled my hair out, hit my face, here’s my knee,” she says, showing a large bruise.

She then confronts Franz Bettocchi, who responds in Spanish.

“Oh, I am afraid,” Kasatkin says in the video. “You’ve punched myself to the point of bleeding in the back of my brain,” she says before a distressed child can be heard calling “Mom!”

She contends that the man is brainwashing the children, now 8 and 4, as he abuses her in front of them.

“This is what I go through every day… He’s violent. He beats women.”

Kimberlee Kasatkin: No body, no crime?

Christopher Franz Bettocchi’s wanted poster. America TV
Bettocchi is one of Peru’s top 10 most wanted. The price on his head is 20,000 soles for any information leading to his capture. That works out to almost C$8,000 — more than a year’s salary for the average Peruvian. A criminal trial is impossible until Bettocchi is found.

“Peru doesn’t have a justice system. It has a legal system, but there is no justice system there,” Kathy asserted.

Unfortunately many cases of homicide, in many countries, are not brought to trial because the remains are unlocated. IMO, it's only recently that police may be able to get sufficient incontrovertible forensic proof from the crime scene to lay charges. But that's in first world countries, with very expensive forensic services.

For eg, Robert Durst has never been charged with the murder of his still missing wife in New York in 1982, in spite of the US State prosecutor's ferocious determination to get him.

Joran Van der Sloot was convicted of homicide in Peru and sentenced to 26 years for killing a young woman there. But he's never been charged with murdering Natalee Holloway in Aruba, because her body has never been found.

Meanwhile, Bettocchi is on the run, he can never rest because of fear that someone might recognize him. And Kimberlee's body may some day be found. But nothing will bring her back. I hope the family can find some peace.
