Why not murder????

That's just crazy. Manslaughter? He has a record for violence against a family member from 2009!

Ugh.

Rest in Peace, Isabel.

My guess is they are going with what they can prove. Charges can always be kicked up a notch later, but I imagine there was a plea deal hinging on his confession.

 

[TexasLil]

The complaint filed in court shows the charges are murder but doesn't specify first or second degree.

My condolences to the family and friends of Isabel


Rest in Peace Isabel :rose:


He now leaves his four children parentless..:jail:

Those poor children. So very sad for them.

 

[Gardenlady]

I'm so sad for Isabel and her children. And beyond angry that another disgruntled spouse has killed the mother of his children.

And then don't even get me started on the heartless cruelty of the landlord who would kick out those kids while they're searching for their missing MOTHER. :furious: And the absolutely disgusting racist comments under some of these articles, many aimed at Isabel's oldest daughter, who has had to care for her younger siblings while probably being overwhelmed with worry and heartache herself over her missing mother.

WTF is with people, has everyone lost every ounce of compassion?! I am just left nearly speechless over all these things.

RIP Isabel. Peace to your children and loved ones. :rose:

"Relatives have also set up a foundation through Chase Bank to help the Alvarados' four children. Ramirez said their eldest daughter is caring for her younger siblings for now."

I noticed the comments too and I was sick to my stomach. I hope her daughter knows the majority of people care and aren't racist. I hope she sees these positive comments. We care and we are so sad she has to fill her mother's shoes at such a young age. I feel so sad for her and her younger siblings

Hours before the burned remains of Carlos Alvarado's wife were found in a field, the computer technician accompanied searchers to the couple's old home and stared at their bathtub for what seemed like forever.

Then he broke down and wept.

"The earth swallowed her up in 20 minutes," he told Tim Miller, director of Texas Equusearch, on the fourth day of round-the-clock searching for the mother of four. Isabel Alvarado, 39, had last been seen on March 30.

"The earth just swallowed her up," the husband repeated.

Hours later on April 7, homicide detectives charged Alvarado, 45, in his wife's murder, accusing him of choking her. In court Tuesday, prosecutors said he killed his wife and dismembered her body before burning the remains and discarding them on his aunt's property in Fresno. He told detectives he thought his wife was having an affair.

Absolutely tragic

 

[JenniferTx]

Even if Isabel were having an affair with another man doesn't give this monster the right to murder her. Those poor kids have now lost both of their parents.

 

[SurfieTX]

My heart goes out to Tim Miller. Can you imagine standing there listening to this and probably knowing instinctively that you are standing next to a monster, a killer?
