Joaquin Alvarez Rios, aired on the November 1st, 2008 episode of America's Most Wanted is wanted for the murder of his wife and her male friend. Although the full archive no longer works, I was able to retrieve a partial archived description of the case which I will post below:
"Police say Lorena Soto was shot and killed by her husband Joaquin Rios. Police believe that around 8:15 p.m that night Rios showed up at the house and forced his way in through the front door. Cops think he then ordered the children outside and took their mother Lorena and her friend Javier into the bedroom. Moments later the children told police they heard their mother s screams for help and ran back into the house. Police say the children opened the bedroom door and saw their mother bleeding on the floor. Javier was screaming at Rios to stop. Cops say the children even begged their father to stop shooting her but instead he turned the gun on Javier and shot him multiple times in front of them. Police say Rios then drove to his sister's in Kannapolis dropped the kids off and fled. Kannapolis Police found the Ford Focus abandoned in a K Mart parking lot in Charlotte Police believe that Rios could still be in the North Carolina area but he also has relatives in Mexico In the past he has worked in construction hanging drywall Police say he doesn t have a lengthy record but need your help to find him."
Thoughts? I should add according to another section of the archive, Rios was enraged because he saw Lorena inside the house with Javier. We don't even know if he was just a friend and even if it was more than that it was obviously no reason to do what he did. I am assuming Rios is still at large as of this posting date (10/12/2015), however, if anyone has proof otherwise, please feel free to let us know.
