Brownsville Authorities reference to a womans alleged murder
June 13, 2008 | News
Authorities in Brownsville have held a press conference to give the latest findings in the death of a Matamoros teen. The victim’s body washed up on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande in late May. Today in Brownsville, police authorities revealed their official findings on their portion of the case of three girls from Matamoros who drowned in the Rio Grande River in late May.
In a press conference held today in Brownsville, police chief Carlos Garcia explained the department’s findings in the drowning of a 13-year-old Matamoros girl. Yadira Jazmine Martinez is the only girl out of three who drowned to turn up in the United States and be under Brownsville’s jurisdiction. An autopsy conducted by dr. Norma Jean Farley’s indicated that the young girl had been strangled and ruled this as the cause of death.
“The cause of death may be amended to a more specific cause if further investigative information is made available to this office.”
Which in this case came in the form of an eyewitness testimony from a 4th female, Alma Cruz. She alleges that the first two girls, while playing in the river began to struggle, which prompted young Martinez to attempt a rescue.
“She went in to help they held her down…”
This, claims chief Garcia, is the reason for the signs of strangulation. In addition, it had been reported that a quote white milky substance had been found in the private parts of Martinez, however a rape kit revealed no signs of sexual assault.
The parents of the three girls are not convinced by the findings and have pledged to get to the truth.
