From the Orange County (California) District Attorney's Most Wanted website:
Facts of the Case: Martinez is accused of murdering his wife, a mother of four, on Christmas Eve 2003 by strangling her in her home. The defendant is accused of being physically abusive and controlling and the victim wanted out of the relationship. Her children heard arguing between the defendant and the victim from a locked bathroom. The victim's 10-year-old son saw his mother being strangled and found her dead in the family bathroom. Martinez is accused of abruptly leaving with his brother after the crime.
Circumstances of Disappearance/Last Seen: Defendant’s brother, Jaime Martinez Escobar, has been charged with helping Martinez escape after knowing Martinez committed the murder. The Martinez brothers are believed to be in Mexico.
Thoughts? Miguel Angel Martinez was profiled on AMW's old website, although the full archive no longer works to let me whether or not he was also aired on the show itself (I did obtain a partial archive description which I will link below). I don't know if it would have been on there, but unfortunately, I cannot find a picture of Jaime Martinez Escobar anywhere on the net, and who knows if authorities even have a picture of him. But they definitely have one of Miguel Martinez, and this case is still relatively recent for now, unlike so many other cold cases we see in California, so he can still be tracked down, Mexico or elsewhere.
