The remains of Christina Morris, age 23, who had been missing since August 2014, were identified by the Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office as being those discovered last week near the small town of Anna in North Texas. Enrique Arochi, the final person spotted with Maria, was found guilty of her aggravated kidnapping in 2016 and given a life sentence.
Can he be charged with murder now that Ms. Morris’ remains have been found? According to criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor Brian Poe, it all rests on the circumstantial evidence.
Everything will depend on whether the state thinks they have enough circumstantial evidence to connect this individual to the victim for the purposes of charging him with murder, according to Mr. Poe. “If they do, they might accuse [Arochi] of capital murder and possibly ask for the death sentence. The district attorney should, however, pay close attention and consider the family’s desires before putting them through another trial because this man is already serving a life sentence.
