I am surprised that no one else has posted on this before. A young woman was dragged to death in Colorado by an illegal immigrant.
Has been posted many times. Do a search.
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. - A man was arrested in the gruesome dragging death of a woman after a stained and tattered photograph of him was found at the crime scene, police said Wednesday.
Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, 36, was arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of murder and jailed without bail. Investigators said they were still trying to identify the victim, who was dragged behind a vehicle with a rope, leaving a trail of blood more than a mile long.
Authorities did not immediately respond to questions about how the photograph ended up near the woman's body, which was discovered Monday in a suburban neighborhood about 20 miles south of Denver.
The picture shows a couple who appear to be in their 30s, with the man leaning his arm on the woman's shoulder. Investigators did not say whether the woman in the picture was the victim.
The photo had been released to the public, and Sheriff Dave Weaver said tips from citizens helped lead to the arrest. Weaver offered no motive for the killing, and the sheriff's department did not respond to repeated requests by phone and in writing for more information.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok said agents believe Rubi-Nava is an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
At a court appearance Wednesday afternoon, Rubi-Nava listened through a translator as District Judge Paul A. King formally told him the charge he faces.
King sealed the arrest warrant affidavit, which outlines the preliminary allegations against Rubi-Nava, at the request of public defender Kathleen McGuire. King said he would consider McGuire's request for a gag order.
Neighbors discovered the woman's body before dawn. Her face was unrecognizable and an orange tow rope was around her neck, said Nancy Foley, who lives nearby.
An autopsy indicated the woman died of asphyxiation and head injuries from being dragged.
The trail of blood led from Interstate 25 to the woman's body, which was found on a street lined with large ranch-style homes on spacious lots. On Wednesday, highway crews were spreading fresh tar over the roads to cover the traces of blood.
Give a medic in the 82nd Airborne a break.
Airborne and thanks for your service!
jdm, Helen Thomas obsession?
A long-running joke. It's hard to reply to certain stories here without including some snide remarks, along with her photo.
Especially this one...
Oooouch. That was one big ugly tree she ran into.
Wouldn't want any "bias incidents" related to illegal aliens, now, would we. Oops, I just did a bias incident.
yitbos
No offense meant. Just pointing out there are other threads with additional info.
understood
I love all those "500" regiments..... I spent a little time in one myself years ago.
In Houston, the news did nothing to mention that this man was illegal....of course that would mean reporting the full quien, que, cuando, donde and porque of the story.

Woman Dragged Behind Vehicle Near Denver [WARNING: Gruesome Story!]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1704611/posts
I am not surprised.
My old hometown paper in Tennessee has an article about the arrest of 3 illegals (one juvenile) for the murder of another illegal on national forest land.
The newspapers out here have stories about illegals involved in serious crimes too often. Two illegals and the son of illegals were recently involved in an armed robbery spree here. Central Washington is under major strain to deal with criminal aliens.
It is the great big secret because we should all remember that they are just here to work and contribute (many are but way too many are not).
You gotta quit posting this! I haven't eaten dinner yet : )
