If only this could have been prevented:
[Luz Maria Franco-Fierros's] battered, disfigured body was discovered early Monday along a subdivision road north of Castle Rock, about 20 miles south of Denver. Investigators say Franco-Fierros had been dragged behind a vehicle for more than a mile, leaving a bloody trail. Preliminary autopsy results said she suffered fatal head injuries and strangled as she was dragged.
Oops, it could have:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said they believe [suspect Jose Luis] Rubi-Nava is an illegal immigrant from Mexico.Denver police confirmed Thursday they arrested Rubi-Nava on a traffic charge in April but released him.
Police spokeswoman Virginia Quinones said the arresting officer suspected Rubi-Nava's identification may have been forged, but she said the department was not responsible for verifying a suspect's immigration status, and a new Colorado law directing police to cooperate with federal immigration officers was not yet in force.
Suspicious immigration status - Have a nice day. Suspected forged document - Have a nice day.
Glad someone let the police know they're supposed to enforce the law.
