Those zip ties made me wonder alot about the offender, nationality wise. Not many tourists pack zip ties and most of us don't rent cars.

The news paper article seemed to indicate the police had a lead but my spanish ain't the best.

I think it said she was from SJ and was renting a room in Quepos while working at a bar for a few days. Not unusual. A jealous novio?

Yep, a Tico boyfriend. Today's La Nacion via Google translate so some of it is gibberish. Doesn't say what his motive was.

Quepos, Aguirre. A pirate taxi driver was arrested by police as the alleged perpetrator of strangling a woman and dump her in the street. Quepos, Aguirre. Un taxista informal fue detenido por la Policía como presunto responsable de estrangular a una mujer y dejarla tirada en una calle.

The surname is González apprehended and is 49 years old. El aprehendido se apellida González y tiene 49 años de edad. Police reported that he arrived in a delegation to say that he knew the deceased. La Policía informó de que él mismo llegó a una delegación a decir que conocía a la fallecida.

Yesterday, the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) identified the victim as Maria Magdalena Alfaro Lopez, 22 years old. Ayer, el Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ) identificó a la víctima como María Magdalena Alfaro López, de 22 años de edad.

Capturing Gonzalez came the same day the body was found, when the subject came to the delegation of Quepos Forces officers and described, in detail, the figures of the women's tattoos. La captura de González se dio el mismo día del hallazgo del cadáver, cuando el sujeto llegó a la delegación de Fuerza Pública de Quepos y describió a los oficiales, con detalle, las figuras de los tatuajes que tenía la mujer.

Also, police found the identity card of the victim's wallet from the subject. Asimismo, los policías encontraron la cédula de identidad de la víctima en la billetera del sujeto. Therefore, the security forces referred it to the OIJ. Por ello, la Fuerza Pública lo remitió al OIJ.

"She spent a night in the room, but from that day disappeared," the woman recalled. “Pasó una noche en el cuarto, pero desde ese día desapareció”, recordó la mujer.

With all due respect to the victim in this tragedy, it reminds me of the joke about CR being such an eco-friendly country. Same thing, Tico kills his girlfriend, dumps her on the side of the road, and Tico justice being what it is, the courts hand down a verdict of guilty...for littering.

Was reading that story over coffee in La Nacion this morning and from what I gathered it sounded like a tumultuous relationship.
