OREGON CITY, Ore. - A 15-year-old Texas girl found strangled in a Milwaukie apartment last month was killed during the course of an attempted rape, prosecutors said Tuesday.
The revelation came as the men charged in connection with her murder made their first appearance in a Clackamas County court on Tuesday.
Cousins Alejandro Emeterio "Alex" Rivera-Gamboa, 24, and 23-year-old Gilberto Javier Arellano-Gamboa have both been charged with aggravated murder in the death of Dani "D.J." Countryman of Kaufman, Texas.
Her body was found July 28 in an apartment at the Balboa Apartment Complex at 2717 S.E. Courtney Road, where Countryman and her older sister, Ashley, had gone to a party the night before.
Ashley found Dani dead when she went to check on her. The 15-year-old was on a mattress in a back bedroom, and two other people were sleeping just a few feet from her.
According to a statement of probable cause filed by the Clackamas County Sheriff's Department, Alejandro Rivera-Gamboa told police during an Aug. 6 interview that he awoke the night of the party in apartment No. 19 to find his cousin, Gilberto Arellano-Gamboa, on the floor on top of Dani.
"The girl had been struggling and Arellano asked Rivera for help," the court document said. "Mr. Rivera admitted that he had held her down with his foot on her throat until she stopped moving."
A shoe seized from Rivera-Gamboa was found to have blood on it, and the pattern on the shoe was consistent with the imprint pattern found on Dani Countryman's chest, the document said.
Gilberto Arellano-Gamboa told police he did not remember his cousin killing Dani Countryman, according to the document.
The pair were in Clackamas County court for just a few minutes Tuesday, long enough for a judge to deny bail. A preliminary hearing is set for next week.
There is also an immigration hold on the pair. Their immigration status was unclear Tuesday.
Thank you, Kennedy/McCain/Reid/Bush/Chertoff. Your gross negligence and incompetence has led to the rape/death of yet another innocent.
That statement clears it up, for me at least.
We need to back to public hangings for scum like this.
Another despicable POS alien.Is anyone really surprised?Isnt this what is expected from mexico?
It’s been quite surprising that KATU-TV has not tried to cover up the immigration status of these guys. It’ll be interesting to see what The Oregonian has to say tomorrow morning.
I wonder when some of our leaders will be held responsible for this endless brutal slaughter of Americans?
Bump
Get the by God rope!
Holding our leaders responsible? Just weeks ago, Portland Mayor Tom Potter decried the illegal immigration raids at a packing plant. Now he’s proposing building shelters for day laborers. Even liberal Portlanders are getting fed up.
Thank you for pinging Travis and AuntB. Hope they’ll alert their ping lists as well. When is this infamy ever going to stop!!??
Read the last line in the article: “Their immigration status was unclear Tuesday.” We know what that means right? If they were legal, there wouldn’t be any doubts about their criminal status.
The perp AND his cousin. The entire extended family of criminals is here!
It’s way past time to start holding politicians and our so-called leaders responsible for this on-going mass slaughter of American citizens.
Yes, the illegal alien family values is alive and well. AuntB, I’m so disgusted with this I can’t even see straight. This insanity that has infected my beloved California for the past 20 years has now spread like the plague (indeed, it is a plague) to the entire country.
How many more American youth need die before we are mad enough to stand together?
What Presidential candidate has a strong history of opposing Illegal Immigration? Duncan Hunter, that’s who.
Are you mad enough yet to back those who will work diligently on ridding America of the Illegal Immigrant?
We made our feelings known by the millions during the immigration reform debacle a a couple of months ago, but they don't care. They're trying to sneak it through the back door in increments, figuring that most Americans won't notice until it's too late.
Yes, Ma’am.
On her program this evening, Victoria Taft said that one of the cousins had run afoul of the law already with a DUI. His sentence was “probation.”
Apprently not even referred to ICE, just given “probation.”
Probably when it's too late.
I LOVE Duncan Hunter - he's a man of honor. He would make a great president. And that's precisely why he can't get any traction - because he's right on the War on Terror, and on illegal immigration.
“There is also an immigration hold on the pair. Their immigration status was unclear Tuesday.”
Chances are, we all know what their immigration status will turn out to be.
We already have upwards of several hundred thousand American victims of illegal alien robbery, rape, murder, shootings, gangs, fraud, assaults, etc.
We are way past time to hold our leaders responsible for this never ending assault on America.
Why are they given a pass? Why are they not held responsible? Why are they not being sued by the thousands of family members of the victims? Why does the Federal government continue to confiscate my/our incomes in the form of Federal taxes to secure our sovereign borders, when they are not doing so?
Our tax dollars at work *puke*
Let’s fire Congress next election.
According to the Victoria Taft Show, this evening, their “immigration status” has been confirmed today as ILLEGAL!
Held responsible? Rewarded is closer to the truth.
Campaign donations & huge blocks of fraudulent, or at least ignorant, votes.
What can we average Americans offer to top that? We're not even paying attention. To hell with us.
Why are our politicians pandering to a minority within a minority? Because to come out against illegal immigration is to be branded “racist”, and that’s a label that strikes fear into these cowards.
We did that in the last election, that's how we ended up with a Dem majority. Unfortunately, some good congressmen got thrown out - J. D. Hayworth of Arizona, who was very strong against illegal immigration, got thrown out.
This ain't going to end well.
To many thousands of victims and family members of victims boiling just under the surface.
OMG - didn't see this - when and where did it happen?
What if we just, en masse, start faxing copies of these horrific stories into Teddy Kennedy and the bunch of Amnesty Traitors? With a comment — ‘doing the jobs Americans won’t do.’ or something like that.
I sent the RNC, when they contacted me last, my fiery letter about immigration that I had faxed during the Amnesty debate, plus the George Bush ‘peso’ and a picture of the American flag upside down with the Mexican flag over it.
A picture says a thousand words, you know.
I just think if we made a concerted effort to remind them daily, of the consequences of their heinous policies, they might just listen. maybe ...
Owensboro, Ky
Pinging you to this one - hope you’ll get some traction on it!
Illegal, Big Surprise.CNSNews.com - Oregon's sanctuary law says "no law enforcement agency ... of the state of Oregon or any political subdivision of the state shall use agency moneys, equipment or personnel for the purpose of detecting or apprehending persons whose only violation is that they are in the United States in violation of federal laws."
Stopping federal dollars to Oregon would work for me. Second, the state should be held liable for this girls death.
Did Victoria also report that the sun will be rising in the East tomorrow, probably sometime around daybreak?
Bush is just as guilty.

Arlen Specter wants to help these ‘poor’immigrants.
I called his office today and asked the guy who answered the phone....what part of NO doesn’t Specter understand? The guy told me Specter just wants to take their ‘fugitive’ status away so that they are not mistreated by unscupulous employers!
Boy did he get an earful from me but they don’t care.
Come election day, from here on out, not one of the people running for office will get my vote unless they unequivocally stand up and tell me they are working for American citizens, not illegal aliens. And I will make all the telephone calls and tell them so.
I have had it! I only hope there are millions more out there who also are fed up.
My understanding is that GOP funds and other GOP support were withheld from Hayworth - I assume as part of their agenda that revealed itself in the recent amnesty bill.
Sad. This country is either full of idiots or sinister forces are at work. Maybe both.
While we all know they were Illegal, having it made official dispells those that try to soften their heinous act by claiming maybe they weren’t. You know, left winged wackos that want more of these scumbags here.
need the death penalty for these two.
U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
Ping!
I wonder if anyone has compiled a list of Americans murder, raped, and beaten by immigrants since 2000.>>>>>>>
Here are some stats datimg from 9-11-01 thru April 2006 (read ‘em and weep...)
______________________________________________
Over 19,000 Americans have died a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens since 9/11 (12 a day).*
Over 20,000 Americans have died at the hands of uninsured drunk driving illegal aliens since 9/11 (13 a day).*
Over 13,000 American children are the victim of a sex crime at the hands of illegal aliens since 9/11 (8 a day).*
Less than 7,000 Americans have died on 9/11 and after due to terrorism, including those who died fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What is the bigger threat to Americans today, terrorist thugs or illegal aliens?

I certainly agree with you. I cannot for life of me understand how our government can let our people die at the hands of these criminals who are not suppose to be here.
How many will it take for them to protect us. They always seem to make a big to do about the Homeland Security protecting us. Well, I think it’s a big lie. How can they do that when they won’t protect the borders?
