This is the horrific moment a 19-year-old girl was grabbed by a stranger, hours before she was found dead in the trunk of her car.
Wendy Zapata Hernandez was abducted yesterday from the convenience store where she worked in Arkansas.
A massive search was launched by police but her body was found hours later after the suspect was seized wandering the streets in his underwear.
Cody Shane Griffin, 25, has been charged with murder.
Miss Hernandez went to work at Selena's, a Dish TV Retailer, at 9am yesterday. Just minutes later a customer arrived and found the store empty, with the safe open.
The customer called 911, prompting the search for Miss Hernandez.
Disturbing CCTV footage from the store shows a man walking in and grabbing Miss Hernandez from behind the counter just after 9am.
He can be seen taking out a knife and pulling it to her throat.
After a brief tussle she was dragged out of the store.
Later in the day, Sevier County deputies arrested Griffin, who was seen walking in just his boxer shorts.
Officials say he told investigators where to find Miss Hernandez's car and her body.
Miss Hernandez’s father was at the scene praying before officers confirmed his daughter’s body had been found.
After the gruesome discovery was made, officers reportedly approached the man, Enrique Zapata, and hugged him.
She was discovered in the trunk of her car about 2pm yesterday, in deep woodland about five miles northeast of Horatio – spotted by police helicopters.
Of the suspect, Sheriff Stringfellow added: ‘He has been a frequent flier with the criminal justice system here. He robbed the De Queen Sonic about seven years ago using a knife. We were able to recognise him from the video.’

WOW! It’s a good thing she didn’t have a handgun. It could have gone off and killed her like guns are always doing.

Maybe twenty or thirty years from now they may execute him. Or not.
Lately, there’s been more coverage of Texas news in the UK papers than ours. I guess Arkansas is going to be the same.
Strange.
If they had cut off his hands after his first robbery a few years before, he wouldn’t have been able to grab this girl.
And the liberal pundants were up in arms when Perry spoke about the death penalty and the crowd roared. It is time we put the children back in thier playpen and the parents take control

Courts and Libs (naturally) have it backwards: it is all the more reason to quickly cleanse the gene pool of them.
It would also often a good idea to take a closer look at their progenitors.
Brian Williams has trouble sleeping at night worrying the scumbags like this just might get ‘the dirt naps they so richly deserve’.
