Thread: Do ya think this was their first crime???

I have never gotten over this crime that helped me find ALIPAC...This crime happened in Central Texas...but people 100 miles away have never heard about it. All I can remember is the Limestone Country Sheriff saying "I hope that there is no retaliation because these people are good people."(he was referring to illegal aliens)


Tehuacana woman spent two hours 'in hell' after being beaten and raped

LIMESTONE COUNTY — A Tehuacana woman told police she was beaten, stabbed, raped and left for dead along a rural road Wednesday before she walked and crawled a half-mile for help, authorities said Thursday.


The 18-year-old woman remained in a Temple hospital Thursday, in stable condition after several hours of surgery, authorities said. Officers have arrested two men in connection with the woman’s assault.

Javier Guzman Martinez, 17, and Noel Darwin Hernandez, 22, both of Mexia, were charged Thursday with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping, Limestone County Sheriff Dennis Wilson said.


Authorities said the pair began following the woman as she was leaving Mexia after spending late Tuesday evening visiting friends. Two men approached the woman and her friends outside a Mexia video store that night and began talking to them, a store employee said.


The men left but later followed the woman as she left the strip mall, said the employee, who didn’t want to be named.


She told investigators she was driving west on State Highway 171 at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday when a car rammed her sport utility vehicle and forced her off the road, Wilson said. Two men forced her into their car about two miles from her home.


They sexually assaulted, beat and stabbed her while driving around rural county roads, Wilson said the woman told investigators.


“She spent more than two hours in hell,” he said. The woman was left in a ditch by the side of Texas Ranch Road 1950 about a mile south of Coolidge, Wilson said. She pretended to be dead until the men left, Wilson said she told investigators.


About 4:30 a.m., Dena Lincoln was awakened by faint knocking on her trailer door. She opened it to find the woman standing there, covered in blood.


“I will never, as long as I live, get that look that was on her face out of my mind,” Lincoln said. “She kept saying, ‘I’m going to die. I’m going to die.’ I told her, ‘No, honey, you are going to be all right. We are going to get you some help.’”


Lincoln and her husband, both Coolidge volunteer firefighters, wrapped the woman in a blanket and treated her for shock. She was flown by helicopter to Scott & White Hospital in Temple, where she was treated for numerous cuts and stab wounds, including an injury that endangered one eye, Wilson said.


Over the next several hours, Limestone County deputies, Texas Rangers, the Department of Public Safety and Mexia police canvassed the area investigating the case, Wilson said. Officers went to several bars and other area businesses with a description of the men provided by the victim. That led to a tip on a suspect by Wednesday afternoon, Wilson said.


Officers found Martinez at his Mexia residence. He confessed to officers about the incident and told them of Hernandez’s involvement, Wilson said. U.S. marshals found and arrested Hernandez at the Waco Transit Center bus station at 301 S. Eighth St. at about 9 p.m. Wednesday.


Hernandez was to be transferred from McLennan County to the Limestone County Jail late Thursday. Both men were due to be arraigned on the charges by this morning, Wilson said. Both men are apparently in the United States illegally and will be held without bond on immigration charges, he said. Hernandez is from Honduras, and Martinez is from Mexico, he said.


Wednesday’s incident resembles a fatal attack on a 24-year-old woman in Falls County in March 2001. John Edward Wilburn shot Ashley Beasley, of Orange Grove, Texas, as she was driving on State Highway 6. Wilburn, of Conroe, forced her car off the road, pulled her from the vehicle and raped her. He was sentenced to two life terms in 2002 after pleading guilty to murder and aggravated sexual assault.


Lincoln said news of Wednesday’s assault has shaken Coolidge residents. She said members of the community are signing a large get-well card, and she plans to deliver it to the hospital along with a potted plant.


“I want to give her something that lives and grows to help her see beyond this,” Lincoln said.


About five miles down the road in Tehuacana, residents also were upset about what had happened to one of their neighbors.


“You can’t print what I have to say about how mad I am,” Tehuacana resident Harold Gates said. “I’ve got granddaughters, and if it happened to them, the case wouldn’t go to court. I tell you what, it would mess my life up doing what I would have to do, but I’d be all right with that.”

In nearby Mexia, word of the assault spread among teachers and students on summer break from Mexia High School.


Mexia Independent School District Superintendent Charlene Simpson said the woman graduated from the school in May.


A friend of the woman’s family, who didn’t want to be identified, said friends and family are feeling emotions, ranging from shock to deep anger.


“It’s by God’s grace that she is alive,” the family friend said. “They left her for dead, but she is a fighter.”

Huh?!!! Good people?!

Has there been any follow up since the incident? What happened to the men?

About a month ago, two Jamaican illegals rapped a girl "below age 16". Their bail was just reduced so they could make bail. I wonder if we will ever see them again? Probably not! The victims just continue to be victimized. The illegals have more rights than the victims. Happens every day, all over the country. How much more can we take?

I hear that all the time. That I should give a break to illegals because their lives are harder than ours, and that they are "Good people". Forget that! I'm sorry but my life is hard too, and I don't get hand outs like these illegals do.
