Manhunt For Groom Charged In Ill. Bride’s Slaying

Police and FBI officials were poring over more than 100 tips as they hunted for a man accused of stabbing his new wife to death and leaving her body in her bathtub, still clad in the silver sequined cocktail dress she wore to celebrate their wedding.

More than 30 law enforcement agencies had joined federal agents in the multistate manhunt for Arnoldo Jimenez, who married Estrella Carrera on Friday night in Chicago and allegedly killed her hours later in her apartment in the Chicago suburb of Burbank.

Authorities began looking for Jimenez soon after Carrera’s family reported that she failed to pick up her two children Saturday. Police performing a well-being check found Carrera’s body in the bathtub.
