What is known is that Oneida Balderas Garza, 44, and Lourdes Elizondo, 33, were found murdered in Balderas Garza’s home the morning of March 23, 2016, in Rio Grande City, both bound at the hands and each with a gunshot wound to the head.
Officially, local law enforcement will say the case is an ongoing investigation, but when pressed about who was leading it, three agencies pointed the finger to one another.
When contacted about any updates on the case, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety said the Texas Rangers — DPS’ investigative agency which was widely believed to be leading the investigation — had assisted the Rio Grande City Police Department with the case.
However, Rio Grande City Police Chief Noe Castillo pointed to the county, explaining they were not conducting the investigation because the residence where the women were discovered was technically outside the city limits.
