Sixteen years after Francisca Perea-Dominguez was stabbed to death in her home, a toothbrush left in her bathroom led police to charge a roommate long-suspected in the killing.
Salvador Hernandez-Morales, 45, was charged Monday with first-degree murder and sexual assault in connection with the 2006 slaying of Perea-Dominguez, who was 42 when she was killed.
Investigators at the time found phone records belonging to Hernandez-Morales under a sofa cushion, and he was quickly identified as a suspect in the killing. He drove a white Ford Explorer, which police found and impounded the day after the homicide. Still, no charges were filed against Hernandez-Morales, who was not the registered owner of the white Ford Explorer. He did not show up to work after the killing and investigators believe he left the country and fled to Mexico.
