00:01This program documents actual homicide investigations.
00:05Criminal charges are often dropped or reduced,
00:07and all suspects shown are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
00:23When the accounting police talk, can I assist you?
00:26Hi, yes. I'm calling from the Paid & Co. H.O.A.
00:30And we had a truck yesterday was parked in our entry.
00:34This is no parking, and it's just sitting in for 24 hours.
00:39So we wanted to call it in.
00:41Okay. And can I get a description of the vehicle?
00:44It's a white.
00:46Can I get the address, please?
00:51We're at Paid & Co. H.O.A.
00:54All right, ma'am.
01:01How can we help her?
01:04Good evening.
01:06I'm calling to report to my husband
01:09this spinoff.
01:09My husband is here for a third place.
01:10My husband is here to work in the morning,
01:12and he hasn't been returned
01:13nor arrived,
01:14nor she's calling his phone,
01:16nor anything,
01:17nor anything.
01:17He reached their job,
01:18neither.
01:19What's your name?
01:22Guadalupe GarcĂa Rodriguez.
01:415.32 to radio, I'm 10.7.
01:43I'm in the car.
01:44I'm the one out for this morning.
01:51Guadalupe Casilla.
01:51I'm ready to go down there.
02:03Guadalupe Casilla.
02:04So it looks like an individual in the car, new passenger seat.
02:08They don't really have a decent visual on them.
02:10I'm going to try and wake them up.
02:185.13, code 22.
02:20Not responding to me, not me on the one, no.
02:27Door was unlocked.
02:29It's like mail.
02:30It's going to be laying in the passenger seat, upside down,
02:33head towards the ground.
02:37It'll be obvious 48.
02:40Yeah.
02:54For homicide detectives, their chance of solving a murderer is cut in half if they don't get a lead within
03:02the first 48 hours.
03:23The truck has been here since 7 o'clock Monday morning.
03:28Got the guy Tuesday afternoon.
03:30The family reports him missing.
03:33Wife last seen him about 6 a.m. Monday morning.
03:36Right.
03:37What's today?
03:38Wednesday?
03:39Yeah.
03:39A couple days.
03:41And his address is not too far from here.
03:44Okay.
03:47Guadalupe GarcĂa RodrĂguez.
03:5339-year-old Guadalupe GarcĂa RodrĂguez was born and raised in Oaxaca, Mexico, and moved to Georgia 12 years ago.
04:01The youngest of eight, he worked for a local tree service and lived with his wife of 10 years and
04:07their two young children in a mobile home park two miles from where his truck was found.
04:1240-year-old Guadalupe GarcĂa RodrĂguez was shot twice, once in his right thigh.
04:4140-year-old Guadalupe GarcĂa RodrĂguez was shot twice, once in his right thigh, and once in the chest.
04:46When I crawl over him to look down, I don't see a gun.
04:50Right.
04:53We have one shell casing there.
04:56Mm-hmm.
04:59Right there.
05:00We have that one.
05:029-millimeter casings.
05:05You got a defect right here.
05:08There's blood.
05:09You see that?
05:12He's got an entry wound in his right leg, which there's a defect in the center console from the passenger
05:18side going to the driver's side.
05:20So he was in the driver's seat when he got shot in the leg.
05:23Mm-hmm.
05:24The guy was in the passenger seat, shot him in the leg, and then dragged him over to the passenger
05:29side.
05:30Yeah.
05:31I think the guy pushed him down there, and then covered him with the jacket.
05:34I could put it over him and get sealed.
05:36Yeah.
05:36That's what it looks like.
05:43Yeah.
05:44You ready?
05:47Boom.
05:51Light, please.
05:54Just looks like a laceration.
05:56Possibly pistol whipped.
05:59He's got a comb wrapped around his neck.
06:03Like a phone charger.
06:05Looks like it might be tied on one side.
06:08So they choked him out?
06:12He's got a wallet.
06:15Got cash in it, it looks like.
06:20No cell phone in the truck?
06:21Not that I saw, no.
06:24Somebody wanted this guy dead.
06:26Why?
06:27That's the question.
06:43Blackman.
06:44Yes.
06:45You might have a witness down here.
06:48She said she reported it as a 1A.
06:52The woman who called in the truck as a suspicious vehicle
06:55arrives on scene.
06:57OK.
06:57We'll talk to her.
06:59Morning.
07:00Good morning.
07:02Hey, my name's Corporal Blackman.
07:03I work with the Gwinnett County Police Department.
07:05What's up?
07:05Can I ask you a couple questions?
07:07Sure, sure.
07:07You want to stand over here where the lights are not blinding us?
07:11Did you call to report the vehicle on the side of the road?
07:13Just Monday morning, I was on my way to work around 7.15.
07:19I was coming out.
07:22I saw his truck.
07:23I was like, why is he parked here?
07:26Because it's in a no parking.
07:27Right.
07:28Going out, I saw a short Hispanic guy.
07:31Get out the truck.
07:32He was on the drive side.
07:33And then he opened up the back door and got a bag.
07:37Right.
07:37Close the door and start walking down the street.
07:40He was walking towards the entrance to make a look.
07:44And I was like, is he leaving this car?
07:46I saw him walking across the street in front of me.
07:50And he walked across the auto center.
07:53He was in their driveway.
07:55And he walked up on Lawrenceville Highway.
07:58Going southbound.
07:59Mm-hmm.
08:00OK.
08:00When I came home Monday night, I saw the truck was still there.
08:04So I said, OK, I'll call.
08:06Make sure it is not stolen or anything.
08:07So that's when I called the police.
08:09Right.
08:10Don't scare the ass or something.
08:12I think you already know the answer to that.
08:17On Monday, did you ever hear a gunshot?
08:21No.
08:22No?
08:23No.
08:23Any commotion?
08:24No.
08:25No.
08:27A short Hispanic man, do you remember what color shirt
08:30he was wearing?
08:31It was, like, black with some gray in it.
08:33Black and gray?
08:34OK.
08:34It was sleeveless.
08:35OK.
08:36I can't remember his pants or nothing.
08:38But I know he had, like, a short haircut.
08:40OK.
08:41Could you put an age on the guy at all?
08:43Well, he looked like he was probably, like, 30s.
08:47All right.
08:47I have your number.
08:48There's no reason for you to hang around.
08:50If I have any additional questions, I'll call you.
08:52All right.
08:53Thank you, man.
08:53Thank you, man.
08:55Thank you, man.
08:59Thank you, man.
08:59A way to observe somebody walking away from the truck.
09:01Yeah.
09:01That might be the suspect.
09:04I mean, hopefully we can get some good video from across
09:06the street.
09:07Yeah.
09:08Yeah.
09:09You want to walk over and look at that business and see if
09:12there's cameras in that parking lot?
09:13Yeah.
09:13Just so we know.
09:24We did a quick canvas.
09:25There is a business across the street that has three
09:28surveillance cameras that are facing Pave and Drive.
09:31And going down Marksville Highway, we have a bunch of
09:34residential houses on the street.
09:35So we'll come back out in the morning.
09:37We'll try to make contact with these people and try to get
09:39video footage of the suspect walking away.
09:46Right now, he needs to get in contact with his wife.
09:49Who did he pick up?
09:50Where did he go?
09:52He didn't know where he was going that morning.
09:56OK.
09:57I'm going to talk to her.
09:58Drive to the street.
09:59Six-minute drive.
10:06Ready?
10:15Nice.
10:17All right.
10:20Let's do this.
10:27La policia de Gwinnett County.
10:33Hello.
10:34Hola.
10:35Hola.
10:46We gave her the death notification.
10:48She didn't really have much information to provide us.
10:51The victim wasn't into drugs, wasn't into gambling,
10:55came home every night.
10:57And she said the victim had a backpack with his work stuff.
11:02Witness described the person that she observed walking away
11:06from the truck with a backpack.
11:09Also, she did have a video from Monday morning
11:12from the next door neighbors.
11:14A suspicious person leaning up against a tree.
11:18And I was around 615.
11:22This is the trailer that she says has the video?
11:24Yeah.
11:36The wife says she found it strange that he hadn't answered her
11:39all day Monday.
11:40So she went to the neighbor's house.
11:43Detectives pull up the video from Guadalupe's next-door neighbor.
11:47That suspicious male was seen on camera standing right outside the house
11:51like 15 minutes before the wife says her husband left for work.
11:58Her husband doesn't give anybody a ride.
12:01Uh, doesn't have any coworkers or anything he normally picks up.
12:03Doesn't really bring anybody to the house.
12:05They had no idea who the guy was.
12:07Cameron doesn't catch that male getting in the car.
12:10He doesn't catch the truck driving by.
12:12But it looks like he's wearing long sleeve, black, like a hoodie.
12:16The jacket had a hood on.
12:19He takes his jacket off because that cover's on.
12:22Oh, that's him.
12:40The video quality's not the best, so you're not able to make a face out
12:44or anything like that.
12:51The victim's family doesn't know who this person is.
12:54We don't have him on camera walking into the trailer park
12:57because he's waiting for him to come out,
12:59knowing that he leaves around 6, 6.30 to travel to his job.
13:05So it kind of shows me that, you know, these two know each other, you know?
13:09We have a good timeline.
13:10It's a very short window, so ultimately we need to get the surveillance footage
13:14from nearby businesses and the nearby trailers where the victim was living at
13:18to get a good idea on this guy and, you know, where he came from
13:23and where he went after the homicide.
13:33The team fans out.
13:36Hey, how are you?
13:38Canvassing the victim's neighborhood.
13:40Do you have access to your home surveillance cameras?
13:45And along the highway where they believe the suspect fled after the murder.
13:51Seeing if we can review some video footage.
13:57Hey, how are you?
13:58Hey, how are you?
14:00Good.
14:01Investigating the shooting happened just down the road, I'm taking.
14:03Do you know if you need your camera to pick up on this floor?
14:07Yeah, I should be able to run it back.
14:17Check.
14:19Do you have cameras on the roadway?
14:21Check them real quick.
14:33We did collect video from businesses and the victim's trailer park
14:37from before and after the homicide.
14:40There was no video of the suspect walking up to Guadalupe's trailer
14:44from before the homicide, but we do have video footage of a vehicle.
14:49A green Honda CRV entered the trailer park at 6.03.
14:54Right before the suspect is captured,
14:57leaning against a tree in front of Guadalupe's trailer.
15:01Shortly after, the CRV is exiting the trailer park at 6.08.
15:06So I believe that the CRV is how the suspect arrived that morning.
15:15So that's why we don't have him on camera walking into the trailer park.
15:19Somebody dropped him off.
15:21He was on foot.
15:23That's what I was thinking.
15:26In the video captured after the murder...
15:30Right here.
15:32The suspect can be seen walking away from the crime scene.
15:36You see him carrying the black book bag?
15:38That belongs to the victim.
15:42And let me just show you this video real quick.
15:52It's like so close to seeing his face.
15:56Hispanic male, early 40s.
15:58I think 30 to 40 is a good range.
16:01Do you see his head?
16:03Like it's shaved off.
16:04Do you see that?
16:05Or like balding or something?
16:06Yeah.
16:07Mm-hmm.
16:11There's a camera on the Chevron.
16:15Straight across.
16:18Right there, yeah.
16:19The suspect continues walking southbound on Lawrenceville Highway.
16:24But then turns off.
16:27Looks like we got him cutting through a neighborhood.
16:30Where is this?
16:31Amberwood.
16:32Like eight in the morning?
16:34Yeah.
16:36All black with a book bag.
16:38So he's cutting through.
16:39Or he may live in there or he's cutting through.
16:49We have a direction to travel.
16:51Try to get an additional video.
16:54Continue down and figure out where he went.
16:56And go from there.
17:09Over the next several days, the team continues to hunt for video.
17:16Hey, sir, do you have any cameras that face the roadway?
17:18In hopes of tracking the suspect.
17:21Oh, man.
17:25I got a camera right there.
17:27Hi.
17:27Hey, how are you?
17:28We're trying to access cameras in this neighborhood.
17:31All right.
17:35Is that camera there?
17:36It's pointing this way.
17:43Yeah.
17:44Do you have access to the ring cameras?
17:47Yeah.
17:50See, this is where it gets tricky.
17:52Nothing.
17:53Gracias.
17:58He doesn't walk this way.
17:59He doesn't walk past his location.
18:04So now we're trying to pick him back up.
18:07And there's these little side streets where he could have turned down.
18:10And that's where it gets a little bit tougher.
18:15Any luck down here?
18:16Nothing yet.
18:17No.
18:19They don't got nothing up here on the right side.
18:23Here goes my side.
18:24Hey, how are you?
18:27Okay.
18:28Okay.
18:29Well, thank you for checking.
18:33He has disappeared.
18:35The doesn't go, man.
18:36That's the question.
18:39This is my 17th homicide.
18:42The last homicides have been all solved.
18:45So, you know, we're going to try to keep that trend.
18:47And this way we'll get solved.
18:49You're going to be 17 and 0, brother.
18:51I promise.
18:51We'll figure it out.
18:53We just got to find out where he got that.
19:01Nine days in.
19:03The last camera we lose him at is at Hillwood Drive.
19:08We checked these houses right here.
19:10And we don't have anybody captured walking past them.
19:13So we're just going to go knock on some residential houses.
19:15Show them the picture of the suspect.
19:17See if he possibly lives in the area.
19:19They have been walking in the neighborhood.
19:31Let's go in the door to door.
19:32See if you recognize this person.
19:34Possibly a neighbor or...
19:37I don't.
19:41You guys recognize this person?
19:43Hispanic male.
19:445556.
19:46Hand in the book bag.
19:47Yeah, I wouldn't say that.
19:49Okay.
19:51Then...
19:53Hey.
19:55Blackburn gets a call from Detective Tyler Daniel,
19:57who is canvassing several blocks away.
20:02Ariah.
20:03Hey, we might got something.
20:05Hop in.
20:06Yep.
20:08I can't see him.
20:13All right, now it's time.
20:18I showed him the picture in a media and he goes,
20:20Oh, I know that guy.
20:22He walks up and down the street all the time.
20:24Says he has seen him with longer hair,
20:26but recently he thinks he's gotten a haircut.
20:28The one up here.
20:30He's seen him too?
20:31Yeah.
20:32I had a guy that said the same thing.
20:34He'd seen that guy walk around in the back right before.
20:49It's looking good, mate.
20:51Most likely living in this neighborhood.
20:52We just gotta figure out what house now.
20:54So we're just gonna keep pushing.
20:55Unfortunately, this is a pretty big neighborhood.
20:56So let's keep knocking.
21:02Uh, we're just going door to door to see if anybody in the neighborhood recognizes this individual.
21:12Hey, man.
21:12Hey.
21:13How are you?
21:14Good.
21:14Have you ever seen this gentleman?
21:16Never.
21:16Never have.
21:19No one this way has seen him.
21:22Okay.
21:23All right.
21:32After two weeks of canvassing.
21:34So, my instinct is that he lives somewhere in the neighborhood.
21:39Just gotta figure out where.
21:41So, we're gonna do an immediate release and go from there.
21:45It's kind of like the last resort.
21:48Throwing spaghetti at a wall.
21:49Uh-huh.
21:50Hoping it sticks.
21:58We are about two miles from where that father's body was found.
22:02Now, police need the public's help to find a killer.
22:05The pictured suspect is the suspect that's seen exiting the victim's vehicle.
22:10Anyone who might recognize the suspect is urged to call Gwinnett County Police where they can remain anonymous.
22:21One month into the investigation.
22:28I'm the lead investigator.
22:29Blackburn gets a call from an anonymous source who knew the victim.
22:35Any information regarding the investigation?
22:38Yes.
22:39Araya.
22:42This is Detective Araya.
22:48The source says 15 years ago, Guadalupe had bought some land from the father of his ex-girlfriend.
23:01Okay.
23:05Okay.
23:16Like, a month before.
23:29The source says that the father and another man went to Guadalupe's home to pressure him to sell.
23:55Yes, I think yes. He had told him that he was looking for him.
24:09Do you know how the ex-wife is called?
24:12No, I don't know how to call him.
24:15Okay. How is the ex-wife then?
24:19No, I don't know how to call him.
24:28The ex's address is on the same block where neighbors saw the suspect walking.
24:35Let's see what I'm talking about.
24:38Okay. Well, thank you for your time.
24:40Yes, thank you.
24:44We got a motive now.
24:46Possibly. We got a house.
24:50This can't be a coincidence.
24:53The plan is to do some recon at the ex's house to see who is coming and leaving and to
24:58obtain some license plate numbers of the vehicles at the residence.
25:11One hour later, we went to the ex's residence conducting surveillance.
25:19The house had us on a CRV parked in the driveway and we distinctly remember seeing a CRV in the
25:25video from the victim's trailer home coming in that morning.
25:29So this is what they took today and this is the surveillance footage from the day of the murder, the
25:34morning of the murder.
25:36We need to get the registered owner of this car.
25:38Right.
25:41Let's see.
25:47This is going to be the registered owner.
25:49The CRV is registered to the husband of Guadalupe's ex.
25:56I mean, we had this guy walking in the direction.
25:59We had ties from the victim over property spook.
26:03I mean, I feel like we have enough for a search warrant to hit the house.
26:11About to execute the search warrant.
26:17That's the house right there.
26:2110-7 with CID 120 in units.
26:32Guadalupe's ex is outside.
26:36Germany, somebody else is in the residence.
26:45OK, please.
26:48Number two.
26:55I know something that were here so far.
26:57I think it's a great pleasure.
26:57I don't know.
26:57Maybe she can get into it.
26:57after we came back.
26:58Okay, thanks and .
27:03girl and brother.
27:15Guadalupe's ex says her husband is a manager at an underground cable installation company
27:20and often travels for work.
27:36Yes, he is the father of my children.
27:39Two of your children, right?
27:40Yes.
27:42There were conversations with Guadalupe and your father.
27:45Who?
27:45Why did your father talk to Guadalupe?
27:48I don't know.
27:50My father was a medical home.
27:54He was part of my father's parents.
27:59He was a family home.
28:01And when I came to my father, I would like to buy him because he has water.
28:12They have invernaderos where they produce the tomato.
28:16Have your father talked to you about the importance of having a property?
28:23No.
28:24No.
28:25No.
28:26No.
28:27No.
28:44No.
28:49No."
28:50No doing this.
28:53that they were staying here in June or July.
28:57A few friends come from work,
28:59they bring a husband or a person who comes here.
29:04Where do they stay?
29:07In this room.
29:08In the room, on the right.
29:10They stay on the 8th,
29:12and on the weekends, on the weekends,
29:14and on the weekends.
29:17Do they always come here?
29:19Not always.
29:20It's a...
29:21It's a man who comes, but...
29:24What's his name?
29:26He's called...
29:27I don't know if my husband
29:28doesn't have a name.
29:31That man is called Elgario, my husband.
29:35This is a photo that we showed you.
29:37Is this a photo?
29:40Detectives show a surveillance picture of the suspect.
29:44It's not that, but it's black.
29:45It's black.
29:46What I'm saying is it's black.
29:48Moreno, Moreno.

30:49...
30:51...
30:51...
30:53...
30:53...
30:55que
30:56...
30:58...
30:58...
31:00...
31:02...
31:33...
31:35...
31:36...
31:38...
31:39That's where he goes back.
31:41And how long was Galvino living here?
31:43Like a year.
31:45A year?
31:45Yeah.
31:47His bedroom is like next to my brother's, above my brother's.
31:52So you think he's been living here for one year?
31:55Yeah.
31:58So why do you think Galvino killed your father for?
32:01I have no reason. I have no reason.
32:05I don't know why.
32:06I don't know if it was him, actually, or if it was him.
32:09No, it was him.
32:10That's why we're here.
32:12I have video of him leaving the murder scene
32:14and coming to this neighborhood and coming to this house.
32:18OK?
32:19So we have to figure out, you know, who this Galvino is, OK?
32:23Because he's a bad person, OK?
32:26He killed your father.
32:27So that's why I need you to be 100% honest with me
32:30and help me figure out how I can find Galvino
32:33before he kills somebody else.
32:50And when did Galvino finally leave this house and didn't come back?
32:54Um, like, pretty little slow.
32:57It was around the same time police released the suspect's photo to the media.
33:03Do you know how he left this place?
33:05No.
33:07No?
33:21All right.
33:21He executes their search warrant for the house.
33:23Down here.
33:25That's right.
33:25That's right.
33:25That's right.
33:26That's right.
33:26That's right.
33:30That's right.
33:31That's right.
33:43That's right.
33:44The paperwork has his name.
33:54Oh, man.
33:56That is a freaking burden off my chest now.
34:00It's got him identified.
34:01Finally.
34:02Finally.
34:04Finally.
34:1238-year-old Mario Rene Lopez-Jolon is originally from Guatemala, where he worked in agriculture.
34:20He came to the U.S. two years ago in search of job opportunities to pay off debt and send
34:25money back home to his wife and eight children.
34:32Let's just ask her real quick if this is Gallo.
34:34Yep.
34:35Is that Gavino?
34:37Is that Gavino?
34:37Is that Gavino?
34:38Yes.
34:40When did Gavino leave?
34:53Guadalupe's ex now admits that her husband took Gavino with him on his work trip.
35:00To Huntsville, Alabama.
35:03To Huntsville, Alabama.
35:10Where's that location at?
35:25There's enough awards.
35:27Yeah.
35:29Just head back to 35.
35:31We're going to make some phone calls.
35:32I'm going to get arrest warrants.
35:41So I obtained arrest warrants against the suspect from felony murder, malice murder.
35:46I made contact with a U.S. Marshall in Alabama.
35:51They're going to set up on this house where we believe that suspect is staying out right
35:56now for the night.
35:58Myself and Corporal Raya are about to head out and then link up with Huntsville PD once
36:04we get there.
36:14Purple black belt.
36:16We got it up.
36:20Huntsville police find Mario Lopez Holon and take him into custody.
36:25All right.
36:25I appreciate the help, man.
36:27Yes, sir.
36:27All right.
36:28Bye.
36:28Bye.
36:28Let's get back into that.
36:44I'm going to kind of get a full rundown of, you know, why this all occurred.
36:57Hey, good to have you.
37:00Hello?
37:01Hello.
37:02Hello.
37:04My name is Coco Blackburn.
37:06We're in the County Police Department.
37:08Oh, OK.
37:13Come a long ways.
37:15You want to stand up and get the handcuffs off?
37:21What's your name?
37:22Mario René López.
37:24So, we work for the Gwinnett County Police Department.
37:27I was on July 1st.
37:30I was the lead detective for a homicide investigation.
37:34To Guadalupe Rodriguez, OK?
37:38Do you know what I'm saying?
37:55No, I was watching the news and the boy was my friend.
38:05We came together once, we took him.
38:09I don't know if we were to take him.
38:12He said he gave him money.
38:14I gave him money to get out of the facility.
38:18Mario says on the morning of the murder, he went to Guadalupe's house to ask for his money back.
38:28And that he then walked to a nearby gas station to play their slot machines.
38:43So during the investigation I learned a lot, okay? And I kind of got an idea why this happened.
38:49We want to talk to you to discuss everything that happened and get your side of the story, okay?
38:57So we have some questions about the investigation.
39:03Do you want to talk to us about that?
39:09Well, I would like to put a lawyer, to get a lawyer.
39:16Okay.
39:18I don't know how to do it, but...
39:26He said, I think I want to get a lawyer because it's going to be...
39:29It's really difficult for me to understand.
39:32Okay. And that's your right, okay?
39:35Yes, that's your right.
39:36But I just want you to know that after, you know, during the investigation,
39:42there's video footage of you leaving the homicide scene, okay?
39:45So I'm just going to leave it as that, okay?
39:56So, you'll be exudited to the Gugnet County Jail.
40:00Lo cargo que tu tienes se llama murder.
40:21I mean, it would be nice to get the suspect's side of the story and, you know, figure out, you
40:25know, why.
40:27I mean, it was just something that he was given money to kill this guy over land, over Guadalupe's refusal
40:35for not telling him to land back to the ex's father in Mexico.
40:40But it feels good. This was one of my toughest cases that I've had.
40:43And I ultimately got the suspect arrested.
40:46This was my 17th homicide.
40:48So, still, 17-0.
40:53Two days later...
40:56Okay.
40:57Blackburn gets a hold of Guadalupe's ex-girlfriend's father.
41:04He says he doesn't know why, you know, Mario killed Lupe, but I learned that Guadalupe's land will go to
41:12Guadalupe's eldest son with the ex.
41:16So, that means the land will stay with the ex's family.
41:20So, I believe there's a possibility that the land dispute was the motive for the homicide.
41:25There's also, to me, you know, if Mario did get the green light to kill Lupe, why didn't Mario get
41:32a cut?
41:33And why is he still in the country, you know?
41:35When he was arrested, he only had two phones and $10 bombs.
41:38So, it's kind of still, you know, the what if, but something that we just won't know.
41:45Guadalupe's death was very tragic.
41:47From the victim's wife, Guadalupe was a hard-working man.
41:51He was a family man, loving husband, devoted father.
41:56So, this is very tragic.
41:58And basically, now, his children will no longer have a father to raise them, but hopefully for his family.
42:05It's a good sense of relief knowing that a suspect has been identified and captured,
42:09giving the family closure from this investigation.
42:42Who really watched the dead of the day?
42:42And what's happening?
42:42Who's going on at the day?
42:42I'm going to go on.
42:46You
