Nearly two years after the stabbing death of a young mother in front of her two girls, Houston police's prime suspect, Elber Ruben Vazquez has been captured in Mexico City.
Vazquez was 19 when police say he killed 26-year-old Mireya Hernandez in her southwest Houston apartment then fled the city in a red Ford Mustang.
Hernandez had 68 stab wounds when her sister found her two hours after the slaying on the morning of May 4, 2004. Hernandez's 2-year-old, Jasmine, was lying on top of her mother, kissing her slashed cheek and telling her to wake up.
Ten-month-old Monica lay nearby in her crib, covered in blood but unharmed.
Vazquez, a suspected "coyote" who smuggled Mexican immigrants across the border, lived five doors down from the Hernandez family in an apartment complex on the 6000 block of Bissonnet. Investigators believe he waited for Hernandez's husband to leave for work before talking his way into the apartment and attacking Hernandez.
Vazquez now faces a 21-month-old charge in her murder.
If he's proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, FRY HIM!!!
Not if he's subject to the death penalty.

Apparently the Bush Administration is looking for more
ways to allow our southern neighbors to visit here, stay
here and play here, might as well learn spanish.
21 months for murder?
The president said something about the border the other night in his SOTU address. / s
Our nation needs orderly and secure borders.
(APPLAUSE)
To meet this goal, we must have stronger immigration enforcement and border protection.
(APPLAUSE)
BUSH: And we must have a rational, humane guest worker program that rejects amnesty, allows temporary jobs for people who seek them legally, and reduces smuggling and crime at the border.
No, what the reporter was trying to say was that the guy had been wanted for murder for the 21 months prior to his capture.

"How much crime, disease, and social patholigy will we save ourselves if we just enforce our own borders?"
THANK YOU! As a lovely woman I used to work with used to say.
