Arnoldo Jimenez

Arnoldo Jimenez and Estrella Carrera were married on May 11, 2012, at City Hall in Chicago. Carrera had two children, one 9-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and a 2-year-old son with Jimenez.[3] The couple had dinner with family and friends that night and then headed to a night club, which they left around 4 a.m. on the morning of May 12.[4]

It is believed that on the way home the couple got into a heated argument in Jimenez's black 2006 four-door Maserati. Jimenez allegedly fatally stabbed Carrera multiple times in his car and dragged her body into her apartment. Carrera's body was dumped in the bathtub at her apartment, and she was still wearing the same silver dress she wore to her wedding.[5]

Carrera was meant to pick up her children from family members on May 12, but she never showed up. Her family members then reported her missing to police. Her dead body was found inside her apartment on the afternoon of May 13. Police confirmed there was no sign of a forced entry. Jimenez had also disappeared and his car was nowhere to be found.[6]

Investigators began tracking Jimenez and found that on May 12 he had used his cellphone in Chicago, then Southern Illinois. It was later used in Memphis, Tennessee, and then in Arkansas. On May 13 he had made calls from Houston and then in Hidalgo, Mexico.[7]

In September 2012, police made a drug arrest on Jimenez's brother, Humberto Jimenez. During the search of his property, police discovered Jimenez's black Maserati in the garage. Blood was found inside the car, leading police to the conclusion that Jimenez had killed Carrera in his car and dragged her body into the bathtub inside her apartment.[8] Police believe Humberto drove Arnoldo to Mexico in his car and left him there.[9]

Authorities believe Jimenez is still hiding in Durango, Mexico, possibly in the area of Santiago Papasquiaro.[10] He may also be hiding in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico.[11]
