VISALIA, Calif. —
A husband and wife who married in Mexico in 2007 have been arrested on suspicion of murdering another woman who the man married in California so the man could get legal permission to stay in the U.S., authorities said Wednesday.
Francisco Valdivia, 37, and Rosalina Lopez, 39, were arrested Tuesday in connection with the June 9 disappearance of Cecelia Bravo. The suspects lived in the small central California city of Visalia, the Tulare County Sheriff's Office said.
"We're comfortable and confident in our belief that (Bravo) was murdered," Boudreaux said.
Bravo's car was set ablaze in an orchard and her four children have not heard from her since her disappearance. They are in protective custody, Douglass said. Boudreaux said they have been placed with close family members.
