• Eliezer Marquez Navedo

  Navedo confessed to the killing of Sara Kuszak. He told police that he spotted her jogging and forced her into the trunk of his car as she ran past him. He reportedly did not know she was pregnant at the time of the murder and expressed regret to authorities--stating that he has a daughter of his own and knows what he did was a "big mistake." Navedo's mother was also convicted of murder, when in 1992 she, too, slit the throat of her two younger siblings.Sacramento News: Puerto Rico Man Charged in Tourist Slaying (February 6, 2008)
