SAN MARCOS – Mimi Rohwer took in a day laborer a few years ago, giving him room and board in her San Marcos mobile home while he looked for work.

But when deputies entered the home and discovered the 75-year-old woman's body early Wednesday, her roommate was nowhere to be found.

Thursday, Julio Cesar Jacobo-Curiel, 57, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, became a suspect in a murder investigation after an autopsy revealed Rohwer had been strangled, sheriff's investigators said.

Jacobo-Curiel was last seen leaving the Casitas del Sol mobile home park on Barham Drive in Rohwer's 1996 red Toyota Camry, bearing California license plates 3TRH829.

Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. To leave an anonymous tip, call (88 580-TIPS.

“I can't believe that somebody could take the life of somebody trying to save the world all by herself,â€

Well, they need to start looking south of the border. Oh, and yea, we will have to pander down to Mexico and promise we will not seek the death penality for this scum bag just in order to get him extradited back to this country to face justice.
