Police Officer

through talking to Haley's roommates. It was learned that Orlando, I don't know if you could say that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but they had an on-again, off-again relationship. And where Haley was located was Orlando Tercero's bedroom. We have to know why Haley has been found deceased in his bed and why he is not around.

Once the search warrant was signed, then we started moving our way inside. As we moved into the dining room, we noticed that the bookshelf was askew. Screwed into the entryway, it's like a wood frame structure, were three eyelets, three metal eye hooks. And through those was a necktie. And not too far into the kitchen, a little bit, there was a chair that was askew as well.

We also noticed some gauze packaging on the kitchen counter. In the garbage can also were more gauze paper towels with obvious bloodstaining. So that was another indication that someone hurt themselves and tried to clean themselves up a little bit. We did go into the bedroom where Haley was located.

No wounds, but we did see some bruising around her neck. And as you got in closer, you could actually see a particular hemorrhages in her face. So we assumed it was manual strangulation.

They did find a note, a handwritten note. It was in Spanish. The note translated, I'm really sorry about this. I never felt I could be capable of doing this, Father. I'll see you soon. I'm sorry this is stupid. I'm sorry. At that point, I am fairly confident that we have a homicide investigation. Orlando's our person of interest. We have to find him, we have to talk to him.
