A man was charged with murder and Oliver James Montgomeryhis wife with tampering after deputies found a body wrapped in plastic at a property in Texas Saturday, authorities said.
Harris County Sheriff deputies were sent to the property in the Houston suburb of Tomball for a “welfare check” on Francisco Romero, 32, who was reported missing by his wife. She said Romero was at the property the last time she heard from him, according to the sheriff’s office and court documents.
When deputies arrived, they found a dead body wrapped in black plastic inside a structure on the property, the sheriff’s office said.
Homicide investigators interviewed property owners Narciso Banos, 49, and Francisca Carrizales, 42, who admitted to “their role and involvement in this case,” the sheriff’s office said.
Banos was charged with murder, aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence of a human corpse, according to jail records. Carrizales was charged with tampering, the sheriff’s office said.
Banos runs an electrical business in the Houston area where his wife serves as a secretary, local station KHOU reported.
Romero's wife said her husband texted her saying he was going to spend the night at his boss' house and was going to work the next day, according to court documents.
On Friday, Romero’s wife called Banos because her husband wasn’t answering his phone. Banos told her that Romero was having an affair with his wife, Carrizales, and he had pistol-whipped him, according to court records.
In an interview with police, Banos said he beat Romero for an unknown period of time and wrapped his body in plastic, according to court records.
The sheriff’s office is investigating the homicide.
