Ernesto Reyes, 20, of Denton

Ernesto Reyes, the Denton resident who Carrollton police believe may have killed 19-year-old Melanie Goodwin last week, is still missing.

In an effort to encourage community members to speak up, Goodwin’s family is offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who has information that may lead to the arrest of Reyes. The money is a combination of donations from employees at the Southern Reservation Office of American Airlines and from Goodwin’s friends.

Goodwin’s body — which was burned after she was killed, police said — was found at the 3200 block of Keller Springs Road in Carrollton at about 11 a.m. Sept. 25. The University of North Texas student died from multiple blunt force trauma, according to officials at the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Carrollton resident Donovan Young was arrested for tampering with evidence in the death of Goodwin on Thursday. Young was released from the Dallas County Jail on Monday and posted bond on a $125,000 bail.

Police still have no leads as to where Reyes may be, said Sgt. John Singleton, spokesperson for the Carrollton Police Department.

Reyes lives at 8513 Swan Park Drive in Denton, according to police affidavits. Reyes lives with family members, said neighbor David Rush. There was no answer at Reyes’ home Monday afternoon.

Populist,

He is a "legal resident" and not a citizen. This is a follow up story.

Thanks Dixie. Of course, this story is horrific no matter what the alleged perpetrator's status is. So many times though we read stories about thugs who aren't supposed to be in our country in the first place.

This suspect had a Visa and was indicted for burglary and later drug possession and Immigration and Customs released him saying that the crime of Burglary was not enough to deport him!

I noticed this young woman's death is getting very little media coverage.
Too much wasted time spent on Britney Spears custody hearings
