DENVER — The boyfriend of a woman who was killed on a train en route to Denver in September 2016 has been arrested on a first-degree murder charge, theAngelo Mantych, 41, was arrested Monday. He's charged with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the death of Marina Placensia, 28. Prosecutors said Placensia was Mantych's girlfriend and a mother of four young children, three of whom she had with Mantych.
The affidavit says Mantych told officers at the time that he, Placensia and their children had been living in Racine, Wisconsin and were moving back to Denver. He told officers he had tried to wake Placensia about 20 minutes before they were to arrive in Denver, but was unable to wake her since she was a"heavy sleeper." He told officers he tried to wake her again about 10 minutes before their arrival and got no response.
Police interviewed other passengers and employees on the train. None of them reported seeing any problems with the family during the trip, the affidavit says. In September 2022, the affidavit says, Dr. Bill Smock agreed to review the case. The affidavit says Smock is a nationally recognized expert on strangulation and suffocation, and agreed to help in possibly determining the cause and manner of Placensia's death.
