SALT LAKE CITY A Kearns woman may have been kidnapped and killed because “she knew too much,” according to investigators.
On Tuesday, disturbing new information was released in court documents regarding the kidnapping and killing of 25-year-old Conzuelo “Nicole” Solorio-Romero.
Orlando Esiesa Tobar, 29, from Honduras, who goes by the moniker “Chaparro,” and Jorge Rafael Medina-Reyes, 21, believed to be from Venezuela, who goes by the moniker “Moreno,” were charged in 3rd District Court with aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping and obstructing justice, all first-degree felonies.
Two people have been charged with kidnapping and murdering Conzuelo “Nicole” Solorio-Romero, 25, of Kearns.
I ll love the time we had with her forever, said Marilyn Keil, Romero s adoptive mother.
They said they were at home when they learned two people were arrested and charged with her kidnapping and murder.
Romero s body has not been found and her adoptive father Richard Keil said they were wishing (police) would find her one way or another. It s hard to hear on the radio that she s been murdered when we haven t really heard that from anyone else and it is hard to kind of believe that when we don t have a body. You know, how do you know? asked Marilyn Keil.
