Father Allegedly Stalks and Kills Daughter, Fleeing the Country After the Crime

Hector Ramon Martinez-Ayala, a Utah father, is accused of stalking and killing his 25-year-old daughter, sheriff's deputy Marbella Martinez, before fleeing the country. Police describe Martinez-Ayala’s behavior as increasingly obsessive and controlling, with text messages more akin to those of a "jealous lover" than a father. He allegedly used a tracking device to monitor his daughter and her romantic interests before the murder. Marbella was found strangled in her home, and Martinez-Ayala is now the subject of an international manhunt after admitting to his "unforgivable sin" in a message to his brother.
