CODY, Wyo. — Authorities have filed charges against three people in the death of a 30-year-old man who was found decapitated in northern Wyoming last year.
Juan Antonio Guerra-Torres was found dead on Jan. 9, 2014, along a remote dirt road in Park County.
The Park County Sheriff’s Office on Friday identified the three taken into custody as 51-year-old John Louis Marquez; 27-year-old Sandra Garcia; and 28-year-old Pedro Garcia Jr.
Marquez was arrested in Bonham, Texas, while both Sandra and Pedro Garcia were taken into custody in Effingham County, Ga.
Marquez is charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree and murder in the first degree, while Sandra Garcia and Pedro Garcia, Jr. are each charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree and aiding and abetting murder in the first degree, Park County Sheriff Scott Steward said.
Marquez and Sandra Garcia are in custody, awaiting extradition, while Pedro Garcia has waived extradition on an unrelated charge, Steward said.
It was not clear Friday afternoon whether Pedro Garcia had been sent back to Wyoming.
Steward and County Attorney Bryan Skoric were not immediately available for comment Friday afternoon, according to their offices.
Steward said in a statement that the case remains under investigation.
Investigators said that Guerra-Torres was shot several times, decapitated and was missing his left arm.
