Video of man carrying suspicious bundle after his employee's death fuels femicide outrage in Mexico
Mexican prosecutors are investigating a widely shared surveillance video of the former boss of murdered woman carrying a suspicious bundle up a flight of stairs. Lorena Jacqueline Morales, who lived in the city of León in the central state of Guanajuato and worked at a food store, was reported missing by her family on May 23, according to authorities. The 28-year-old's body was found on Tuesday, June 3, inside a suitcase, according to prosecutors. Her murder has shocked the country and has underscored violence against women in Mexico. Prosecutors arrested the alleged perpetrator, her former boss, that same day. On Thursday, a spokesperson for the Guanajuato Prosecutor's Office told CNN that a viral video was part of the investigation into Morales' murder. They did not provide further details. The surveillance video showed Morales' former boss going into an apartment building and climbing a flight of stairs with a covered-up object. Later, the man is seen next to a car struggling to load a heavy suitcase into the trunk. The timestamp in the upper left corner of the video suggests it was filmed on May 22. It's unclear what happened before and after the footage was recorded. CNN is working to determine the suspect's legal status and his response to the allegations against him. Guanajuato Gov. Libia Dennise García Muñoz said the case should be investigated as a femicide. Mexico has long struggled with high levels of both homicide and violence against women. While not all homicides involving women are femicides, many are. In 2020, a quarter of female killings in Mexico were investigated as femicides, with cases reported in each one of Mexico's 32 states, according to Amnesty International. Last year, there were 847 reported cases of femicide nationwide – and 162 in the first three months of this year, according to Mexican government figures.

New child support compliance program announced in Vanderburgh County
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Agencies in Vanderburgh County have announced a new partnership to strengthen the enforcement of court ordered child support. The program is between the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office, the prosecutor's office and the circuit court clerk. When judges in Vanderburgh County issue non-compliance for child support the sheriff's office will contact the person to voluntarily comply. If the compliance is not made within 45 days, their name and warrant information will be made public on the sheriff's office website. 'It's not about public shaming, the goal of the program is to get results,' said Vanderburgh County Sheriff Noah Robinson. 'It's not about enforcement, but results. We wanna create any opportunity for non compliant parents to meet their obligations.' According to the Indiana Department of Child Services, the sheriff's office enforces nearly 8,000 child support cases. There are currently 152 active child support 'writs of attachment' in Vanderburgh County. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
