Let's hope that this case wakes people up to the danger of men like Rodriquez.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but since kidnapping is involved, isn't this a federal crime, and therefore Rodriquez is eligible for the death penalty?

We were discussing that on another Dru thread...I hope federal charges are pending. Death penalty is too good for this scum.
Thanks for the ping maggie.
Waiting to see if Dusek objects to releasing the info.
Seems this guy had some time to clean his car, I wonder what his activities were after the 22nd...wonder if he had some time to hide her body. We'll see how much of his whereabouts can be accounted for.
Construction sites are an excellent place to start, seeing that he probably is aware of many in his job. I'm thinking of new home constructions, new subdivisions with homes in various stages of construction. (gasp! maybe one ready for a concrete pour)

Not (yet) a lawyer, but if I recall correctly, kidnapping is only a federal case if the victim is transported across state lines.

If the crime were committed in NY, Rodriguez would be facing the death penalty because the rape and kidnapping would each be predicate felonies for first degree murder. (Unfortunately, our prosecutors have no testicular fortitude and haven't yet executed any eligible criminals. The death penalty here is a dead letter, IMHO.)
