Worthington woman vanished a year ago while job hunting with a family acquaintance in Iowa

It’s too bad some details finally come to light a year later. I can only wonder, what if his picture was released sooner? Maybe he wouldn’t have been able to leave the country.

Great comment. This is indeed a very sad situation. It’s amazing to me how someone could “thumbs down” your statement. Insensitive, heartless fools.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:

“If past history repeats itself, he’ll wander into the U.S. at one point and we may have an opportunity to speak to him,” ———-
“Ramirez-Perez, on the other hand, has a criminal history of alleged sexual violence and physical abuse, and has four known aliases.”—-
These two pieces of the story should be all we need to demand a fence, brick wall, troops on the border, or whatever it takes to secure our borders! We have the technology but not the will to do it. For crying out loud, I go and buy a few groceries at HyVee with my check card and before I get home the amount has already been deducted. Are you telling me we can’t secure the border and track people coming into our country. I break out in a cold sweat when I think that this monster was coming and going to and from Worthington when ever he wanted. Yes, I’m ready to hear from the usual posters that I’m a racist and that a fence won’t work. Maybe it won’t keep all of the illegals out but maybe it would have kept him out and think how different things could have been for Ms. Chilel-Perez and her family.
