It was a very gripping 911 tape. He was scared to death that suspect was still in area.

I wonder why the news conference is being held almost 8 hours from now. Something else must be going on... Maybe waiting on DNA tests or something.

I know, Avila (correct pron is AH-vee-luh).. is a more common name, but living where he does he ought to know how to pronounce them, and he did say Alejandro ah-vee-AHL!

Do we have a photo of Avila (Avilla?) and whether or not he matches the forensic artist's rendition?

Here's a link to the Fox News story where Alejandro was mentioned as a suspect, before he was arrested:
Police Narrow Search for Samantha's Killer
From the article: Adelina Avila of Lake Elsinore told reporters her apartment was searched Thursday and her 27-year-old son had been detained earlier that day.
A Los Angeles television station identified Avila's son as Alejandro Avila, who told his mother via telephone that Orange County sheriff's deputies were holding him in a motel as the waited for results to tests done on physical evidence.
The TV station reported that Avila's mother said that authorities took away a computer, a few shirts and a pair of shoes from the apartment.
Avila's mother said her son had been on his cell phone at about the time Samantha was abducted Monday night, and that he had told her he was at a shopping mall in Ontario, San Bernardino County, about 40 miles from Lake Elsinore and about 25 miles from the girl's home in the Orange County city of Stanton.
Avila told television reporters by telephone that he did not buy anything at the shopping mall.
The Times did not say whether Avila's son was the man police were focusing on, but reported that three cars resembling the abductor's vehicle had been confiscated from the apartment complex.
Here's to hoping they got the monster.

They'll know in a hurry...It's a cinch there's DNA evidence. The first broadcasts said to look for someone with some scratches on his arms, which means they already have what's under the little girl's fingernails. All evidence will be fresh.

I suspect they will process some evidence, get results, and try to tie the arrested suspect to the murder in some way. It is such a sad ordeal. I agree on this is what the diversity and open borders give us. It will only get worse as more ccome in to this country.
To: Joe Hadenuf
The suspected perp is a 6 foot tall 200 pound male.
To: Joe Hadenuf
Yes, the 911 tape was terrible. The poor guy had me in tears from his sheer terror. I can't even look at pictures of Samantha's poor mother without crying.

I trust that--unlike the DC police--the Orange County cops went to every business in the area for video tapes. It's likely the killer spent lots of cruising time looking for prey. Parking lots, ATM cash, cigarettes, gasoline, snacks, etc are all places with cameras. Good chance one or more of them caught this guy on tape.
