Man Allegedly Drove To Job Interview After Killing His Wife
According to People, the US authorities found out from Mexican investigators that the murder took place in America. This was despite Mexican authorities finding her deceased in Juarez, Mexico. Once they obtained an arrest warrant for Raygoza, they placed him in the El Paso County Detention Facility.
Although the two were married, the arrest affidavit claimed that they lived in separate states. Raygoza lived in Hobbs, New Mexico, while Sifuentes was in El Paso with the couple's children. The husband found out that his wife was allegedly having an affair for two years on March 18. He reportedly found that she was at a hotel with another man, as per KVIA-TV.
Three days later, he confronted his wife about the alleged affair. When talking to the police about the incident, he confessed that he strangled her in anger for about 30 minutes. Raygoza then dressed and stored her in the backseat of his car before he drove to a job interview in El Paso.
Camera footage captured Raygoza driving his wife's car into Juarez after the interview. He admitted to police that he dumped her body in El Paso and then drove back to the US. To discard further evidence, he also said he got rid of her phone and smartwatch.
One day later, her body was discovered on the Periferico Camino Real highway. Chihuahua Attorney General's Office deemed that Sifuentes's cause of death was asphyxiation by strangulation.
Raygoza allegedly then came forward to identify her body after noticing a news report on her death. Once the FBI told Crimes Against Persons investigators that they believed the murder happened in the US and not in Mexico, that's when the investigation took off.
The suspect currently has a $1.25 million bond, and detectives are still investigating the murder.
