Police recover vehicle belonging to missing Mall of America manager

Published February 26, 2013

FoxNews.com

A vehicle belonging to a missing Mall of America store manager was found parked in a nearby lot, her family says.

Kira Trevino, a 30-year-old from St. Paul, Minn., who works at clothing store Delia’s, was reported missing after she failed to show up for work Saturday, Fox 9 News reports.

After a “locate vehicle” message was sent out Sunday, mall security found her unoccupied white Chevy Cobalt in the mall’s West Ramp parking area around 5 a.m. Monday, Cmdr. Vic Poyer of the Bloomington Police Department said.

Trevino’s family told Fox 9 News that her cellphone and purse were found inside the car, which was carefully backed into a space where she usually doesn’t park.

Tara Hall, who also works at Trevino’s store and describes herself as a friend, said the vehicle was in a “very isolated corner,” the Star-Tribune reports.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) -

The husband of missing St. Paul woman Kira Trevino has been arrested and booked into the Ramsey County Jail on suspicion of murder.

St. Paul investigators say enough evidence was found inside the couple's home on the 500 block of Iowa Avenue to suggest a crime was committed there; however, they would not elaborate on what that evidence is.

Officers also said a roommate who lived in the home with the Trevinos is cooperating with the investigation.

Kira Trevino still has not been found, and police say they are still treating her disappearance as a missing person's case at this time. Investigators ask anyone who may have information on her whereabouts is asked to call 651-266-5650.

On Monday, officers with the Bloomington Police Department confirmed that a vehicle belonging to Kira Trevino was found at the Mall of America. Trevino, 30, was reported missing after she failed to show up for work on Saturday at Delia's at the mall.

The discovery of Trevino's car in the West Ramp was made just hours after a "locate vehicle" message had been sent out on Sunday in connection with her disappearance.

St. Paul woman missing; husband held on suspicion of homicide

    Updated: February 26, 2013 - 10:00 PM

Following a seven-hour search of the couple’s home, police say there’s evidence of a crime in Kira and Jeffrey Trevino’s house.
With Kira Trevino still missing after five days, police arrested her husband Tuesday following a seven-hour search of the couple’s home.

“We located enough evidence that a crime had been committed in the house,” said Sgt. Paul Paulos, a police spokesman.

Jeffrey D. Trevino, 39, remained in the Ramsey County jail Tuesday night on suspicion of homicide. Authorities, meanwhile, continued to ask for help in finding his wife, who has been missing since failing to arrive for work Friday at the Mall of America. Police declined to say what exactly pointed suspicion at Jeffrey Trevino.

In their quiet Payne-Phalen neighborhood, Jeffrey and Kira Trevino were known as a young couple who said their polite “Hellos” but kept to themselves other than hosting summertime bonfires.

“I thought they were just a nice, friendly couple,” said their neighbor, Leo Moua. “They don’t bother nobody.”

But Kira Trevino, 30, didn’t show up for work Friday at the Bloomington mall, where she was a manager in a store called Delia’s. Her car was found abandoned in the mall’s parking lot Saturday, her purse and cellphone inside. About 6 p.m. Monday, a barrage of investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension pulled up to the couple’s home in the 500 block of E. Iowa Avenue. Their search lasted until 1 a.m. Tuesday.

Several hours later, Jeffrey Trevino was in the Ramsey County jail. Police stopped short of saying whether they believe Kira is likely dead, instead saying that the case remains a “missing persons” case.

Authorities said Jeffrey Trevino could be charged today in the disappearance of his wife, Kira.

Kira Trevino’s sister and mother say they didn’t learn she was missing until Sunday, two days after her husband first reported her disappearance to St. Paul police.

Jeffrey D. Trevino, who remained jailed Wednesday on suspicion of homicide in connection with his 30-year-old wife’s disappearance, contacted two of her friends Saturday evening, but didn’t inform family members until Sunday.

“Sadly he had not contacted any of her family members to see if she was with us,” said Kira Trevino’s younger sister, Keri Anne Steger. Kira Trevino’s car was found in a remote area of the Mall of America parking lot Saturday after she failed to show up for work at the Delia’s store she managed there. Police later found her purse and cellphone in the car.

On Tuesday, Jeffrey Trevino was arrested after police said a seven-hour search of the couple’s home in the 500 block of E. Iowa Avenue revealed evidence that a crime had been committed there.

Authorities said Trevino, 39, could be charged as soon as Thursday morning.

Police have released few details about the investigation and the evidence that led to Trevino’s arrest, including whether any video surveillance footage from the mall has helped in the case.

Without a body, pinning Kira Trevino's disappearance on anyone could be tricky

 ::snipping2::
The county attorney's office was expected to decide by Thursday morning whether to file charges. If he is not charged, Trevino would be released from jail later in the day.

Trevino called police about 9

a.m. Friday to report his wife, Kira, was missing. He said she hadn't showed up for work that day at Delia's, a Mall of America clothing store, said Sgt. Paul Paulos, St. Paul police spokesman. Her car was found at the mall.
Police searched the couple's home in St. Paul on Monday and Tuesday and found "enough evidence to show that a crime had been committed in the house," said Paulos, who didn't disclose what it was because of the ongoing investigation.

Paulos said the woman is considered a missing person.

Her husband declined an interview request through the jail.

BLOOD OFTEN POINTS TO HOMICIDE

Tad DiBiase, a former federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., consults with police and prosecutors on "no body" homicides and tallies such trials on his website, www.nobodycases.com. He had counted 378 such cases through mid-December with about an 89 percent conviction rate.

Generally speaking, in the absence of a body, a large amount of blood points to a homicide, DiBiase said.

The Kira Trevino disappearance case is beginning the potboiler churn. Mara Gottfried of the PiPress says: “If the Ramsey County attorney charges Jeffery Trevino in the disappearance of his wife, the case could join a small number of homicides in Minnesota prosecuted with no body. ‘It's not easy to prove a murder without a body, but it can be done,’ said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom, whose office has prosecuted two homicides without a body, one successfully. … Tad DiBiase, a former federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., consults with police and prosecutors on ‘no body’ homicides and tallies such trials on his website, www.nobodycases.com.

St. Paul man charged with 2nd degree murder in wife's disappearance

    Article by: JOY POWELL and CHAO XIONG , Staff Writers
    Updated: February 28, 2013 - 2:54 PM

Jeffery D. Trevino was charged this morning with two counts of second-degree murder in the disappearance of his wife, Kira Trevino, who has been missing for seven days.

Evidence of a large amount of blood was found in her home and car, and a video from the Mall of America shows her car pulling into a lot there and a person, whose identity is not clear, throwing away an object in the area where her bloody trunk liner was later recovered, according to the complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court Thursday morning.

“The defendant took a number of actions to be evasive and cover up this murder,” said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi.

Based on the blood in the home and the car, authorities believe Kira Trevino is dead.

Choi said Jeffery Trevino has not been cooperative in helping locate the body, adding that while it is rare, they have enough evidence in the case to pursue murder charges without it.

A Ramsey County District Court judge set bail at $1 million.

Friends, strangers gather to search for Kira Trevino
10:06 AM, Mar 9, 2013

ROSEMOUNT, Minn. - Volunteers are gathering Saturday to search for the body of Kira Trevino, the 30-year-old St. Paul woman who has been missing since February 21.

The group, comprised of friends of Trevino and strangers who never met her but want to help, is meeting near Spring Park in Rosemount at 12:00 p.m. to search the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area.

Sgt. Paul Paulos with the St. Paul Police Department says there is no specific evidence to indicate Trevino's body may be in that area, but he says police always appreciate "an extra set of eyes" in situations like this.

Paulos says St. Paul Police will meet with the group prior to the search and remind them of basic safety precautions they should take while searching the area, such as not disturbing a scene if they find something suspicious.
