Chicago Man Allegedly Killed His Wife
The FBI has increased the reward money amounting to $250,000 in an effort to catch a Chicago man who was accused of killing his wife hours after they got married in a city hall.
The incident happened more than a decade ago, but the Chicago man remains at large, CBS News reported. The Chicago man, Arnoldo Jimenez, who is now 41 years old, allegedly killed his wife by fatally stabbing her less than 24 hours after they got married in 2012.
The Chicago man’s wife, Estrella Carrera, 26, was still wearing her wedding dress when she was found dead in the bathtub of their home, authorities said.
Federal authorities say that Chicago man Jimenez and Carrera got married at a city hall in Chicago on May 11, 2012.
The FBI and Burbank police believe that Jimenez and Carrera had an argument in Jimenez’s black Maserati as they were returning home on May 12, 2012.
Authorities believe that Carrera was fatally stabbed in the vehicle and was then dragged back into the apartment and left bleeding in the bathtub.
Carrera’s body was found during a wellness check the next day.
