How does this make you feel 2 illegals, 1 accused of killing 15-year-old sister-in-law -1 kidnapping minors? Question: CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A man has been sentenced to serve 20 years in prison for a kidnapping plot which happened two years ago involving two Cornelius girls.
Ruben Garcia-Rosario, 27, of Mexico, was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in a federal prison followed by 20 years of supervised release. He has also been ordered to register as a sex offender.
Garcia-Rosario pled guilty on July 23, 2009 to attempting to kidnap the two girls. Officials say he was planning to kidnap the girls in exchange for ransom money from the victims' family.
According to the US Attorney's Office, in September 2009, Garcia-Rosario asked for help from his wife, Linda Gonzalez, who resided in Edinburg, Texas, in writing a ransom note demanding money from the family of the minors.
Garcia-Rosario promised to pay his wife $10,000 for her assistance. The ransom note threatened to kill the girls if their family failed to pay the ransom amount.
Between September 9 and September 23, 2009, the US Attorney's Office says Garcia-Rosario drove his car to an elementary school bus stop in Cornelius and observed the two girls as they were waiting for their school bus.
On at least one occasion, Garcia-Rosario took pictures of the girls using his cell phone while the girls where waiting for their bus.
In September 2009, Garcia-Rosario also tried to retain the services of a translator to assist him in communicating with the family of the girls regarding the ransom note.http://www.wbtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=14393829
Today a judge set bail at $1-million for Carlos Cardenas, the young man accused of raping and killing his 15-year-old sister-in-law.
If someone posted the $1-million dollar bail, Cardenas would remain behind bars. He is considered an illegal immigrant and the federal government has a "retainer" order against him.
The Albion man was arraigned in Orleans County Court Wednesday afternoon. He was supposed to be arraigned on Monday but no translator was available.
Investigators say Cardenas confessed to strangling his wife's sister, 15-year-old Katherine Sanchez. Her body was later found in February in an apple orchard. Police say Cardenas had sex with the teenager and she threatened to tell his wife, so he strangled her.
Cardenas was indicted on two counts of murder. One is for the actual murder. The second charge, felony murder, accuses him killing his sister-in-law while he was raping her. He's also facing two counts of rape.
Cardenas pleaded not guilty.
Cardenas walked into court in a thick pin stripped jail jumpsuit. It looked like he was wearing a protective vest underneath. When Cardenas walked into town court last month, he was hit by his wife and other members of his alleged victim's family.http://www.whec.com/news/stories/S2053046.shtml?cat=566

the same way this makes me feel.
CORSICANA, Texas - Jeffrey Allan Maxwell, the former neighbor and rejected suitor of a Texas woman, has been charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault after authorities say he abducted the 62-year-old woman at gunpoint, and then beat her at his home for 13 days.
"This is a horrendous case," Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said in a press release, according to CBS affiliate KTVT. "We are... glad she is getting the treatment necessary to overcome a horrific ordeal."
Maxwell, 58, was arrested Saturday in Navarro County, more than 100 miles from Parker County where the woman was abducted, according to authorities.
Parker County officials, along with the Texas Rangers, began investigating the woman's disappearance March 3 when her house reportedly burned to the ground and she was nowhere to be found.
According to investigators, the woman had been taken from her home at gunpoint, shackled, and repeatedly assaulted, reports KTVT. Officials took the woman to a hospital where she was treated and released. She is currently in protective custody.
Authorities say the woman ran out of Maxwell's house screaming when she was rescued Saturday after a tip led police to the suspect's Corsicana home. Fowler says he doesn't know how much longer the woman could have made it.
Maxwell is being held in Navarro County Jail, but is expected to be transferred to Parker County, where the investigation continues and further charges are pending
