Murder victim never sought help for domestic violence

Kristy Lea Senter was a victim of domestic violence before she was killed.

But as is often the case, Senter, 27, never sought help. Despite referrals, she never contacted Family Abuse Services of Alamance County before she was stabbed to death the morning of Jan. 27.

Her live-in boyfriend, Antonio Landero Suarez, 32, turned himself in to police the same day. He told a 911 operator that he had “hit (Senter) with a knifeâ€

That poor child.

The Senter family should get a lawyer and go after the construction company that hired this illegal alien. It's time for this madness to stop.

Yancey said Landero-Suarez and Senter had a 2-year-old girl, Olivia, who was living with Senter’s family in Gainesville, Ga., when she was killed. The couple was going through some problems and had decided to send Olivia to Georgia, Yancey said Landero-Suarez told him.

I'm wondering if the local police even bothered to verify the location of the child.

This murderer disappeared briefly after commiting the crime. Once he had everything in order he called the police, confessed to the crime, and safely turned himself in, likely expecting deportation once he confessed to being here illegally. Given the well known fact that Mexican citizens cannot face the death penalty in the US, it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that this guy planned the whole thing out beforehand with the help of his open-borders network of friends and associates.

Hopefully the child is safe with grandparents for the time being at least. Next the battle will no doubt be for custody and/or visitation...I can hear the knocking on the grandparents front door by the Mexican Consular from here...

Jones said that if the 287-g program, which gives deputies training and authorization to identify, process and detain immigration offenders, would have been in place two years ago,
Landero-Suarez would have probably been deported then.

Once again, the benefits of 287(g) become obvious.

They sure do.

Dole was in Burlington talking with Johnson about the detention center recently, too.
