"An 85-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with a 37-year-old homicide cold case out of Garland, Texas, officials announced Wednesday.

The Lovington Police Department in New Mexico said that officers assisting the FBI and the Garland Police Department arrested Liborio Canales for the murder of Barbara Fay Villarreal."

"Throughout the years, the FBI and Garland police detectives worked several leads in both the United States and Mexico, according to officials.

After watching surveillance video and gathering results from DNA technology, investigators in the case determined Canales to be the suspect.

Lovington PD said Canales was known to stay at a home in the city. The department said Canales had recently crossed the Mexico border and entered New Mexico to celebrate his birthday with family.

Lovington PD said officers took Canales into custody Tuesday, July 18, without incident. "

I hope he had thought he was going to get away with it. Of course I don’t remember her murder at all. I’m glad the case wasn’t forgotten after all those years.

I was sad that I couldn't locate a photo of her.
She had a husband at the time:

"Officers said a large kitchen knife was found near her body.

At the time of the crime, police said Villarreal’s husband was interviewed and eventually cleared in the murder."

If you happen to run into a photo of either of Barbara or Liborio in Texas media, could you let me know or post it here, please?
Thank you.
 
Thank you so much @eb2476!


The murderer was her brother-in-law.

Barbara's brother., in Indiana, who says that it's good he's caught, but it doesn't change anything, it doesn't bring his sister back.

From the article @eb2476 souyrced earlier:


"Garland police said that the department used new technology, including DNA genealogy that determined the suspect, Canales, was the brother of Villarreal’s husband."

"While in custody, detectives said Canales admitted to killing Villarreal over a family dispute."
