NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — Police say a Nampa woman who was reported missing was killed by her boyfriend.
Officers have arrested 39-year-old Alfredo M. Martinez as the main suspect on an unrelated parole violation but prosecutors have not charged him in connection with the death of Selena Dawn Thomas.
However, prosecutors have charged three other people with crimes including aiding and abetting murder and failure to notify authorities of a death. In court documents filed in those cases, police contend that Martinez told them he struck his girlfriend in the head with a hammer and then buried her body in a cornfield.
Police said they haven't found Thomas' body.
No contact information was immediately available for any of the suspects' attorneys.
