'Obsessed' Dad Accused Of Stalking, Killing His Sheriff's Deputy Daughter Before Fleeing U.S.
HuffPost
Police said text messages Hector Ramon Martinez-Ayala sent his 25-year-old daughter were "more of the nature of a jealous lover than a father.”
A Utah man whom authorities described as becoming “increasingly obsessed and controlling” over his adult daughter, a 25-year-old sheriff’s deputy, is on the run after he was accused of killing her last month.
Hector Ramon Martinez-Ayala, 54, was charged last week with offenses including murder and stalking a current or former cohabitant after his daughter, Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy Marbella Martinez, was discovered dead on Aug. 1.
Martinez’s body was found “lying on top of the bed, covered with a blanket up to her neck,” in the home she shared with her father in Tooele, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by HuffPost.
Officers who discovered Martinez’s body called her death suspicious after seeing blood in her mouth and what looked like fingernail claw marks on her face and neck, according to the affidavit.
The state medical examiner’s office determined Martinez’s death was caused by strangulation.
