Woman Stabbed to Death After her Wedding

 Posted on October 17, 2012 in Criminal Defense

Estella Carrera married Arlondo Jimenez on May 11^th, never suspecting that she had less than 48 hours to live. She was found dead just two days after her wedding. She had been stabbed and was still wearing the cocktail dress that she had worn to her wedding reception. Not long after Carrera was found, a murder warrant was issued for her husband.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Jimenez had been seen in a 2006 Maserati and was thought to be fleeing to Mexico to avoid charges. It was later reported that he had stated to friends that there was an emergency the day after his new wife was killed. He had also stated to relatives that he had a fight with Carrera and had left her bleeding but still alive.

Arlondo was reported to be with his brother, Humberto Jimenez when he was attempting to flee. Humberto was being investigated on unrelated drug charges and is accused of leading a major drug conspiracy. During a recent court appearance, new information was gathered regarding the Maserati and it was found in Humberto Jimenez’s garage. The inside of the vehicle was covered in blood and it appears that someone had attempted to clean it up. The Burbank now has possession of the vehicle and Arlondo Jimenez remains at large.
