\"\"A former federal employee pleaded guilty Friday to a federal kidnapping charge for plotting to abduct and kill his estranged wife, who was strangled to death in 2016, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Eddy Reyes, 38, of Covina, pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping resulting in death.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reyes was a civilian employee of U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the time of his wife\u2019s death and when he was arrested in this case in April 2021. <\/span><\/p>\n

He has been in federal custody since his arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe sincerely hope this successful prosecution brings some closure to the family of the victim, who was murdered in cold blood by her husband,\u201d said United States Attorney Martin Estrada. \u201cThose who commit horrific acts of violence of this sort will feel the full weight of the law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FBI\u201cMr. Reyes meticulously planned the brutal murder of Claudia Sanchez Reyes and then covered his tracks to evade the scrutiny of law enforcement, a community to which he once belonged,\u201d said Mehtab Syed, the Acting Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI\u2019s Los Angeles Field Office. \u201cThe hard work by investigators and prosecutors in this case leading to today\u2019s guilty plea will hopefully bring a measure of justice to Claudia\u2019s family in El Salvador.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to his plea agreement, this is what happened: Reyes met the victim, Claudia Sanchez Reyes, in El Salvador in 2014. Reyes eventually married the victim and brought her and their son to the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Court documents previously filed in this case allege a history of domestic abuse by Reyes against his wife, who obtained temporary restraining orders against him in 2014 and 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By 2016, Reyes suspected his wife was having an affair, and he decided to kill her. Reyes then contacted his estranged half-brother \u2013 a one-time gang member and gravedigger in El Salvador identified in court documents as \u201cP.O.,\u201d who is now deceased \u2013 about killing the victim.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On May 6, 2016, Reyes telephoned his wife at her job and told her that he wanted to take her to dinner that night and told her not to take an Uber home, which was her usual practice. <\/span><\/p>\n

At about 8 p.m. that night, Reyes drove a rented Hyundai Santa Fe and picked her up from work after previously lying to her that the vehicle was a gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Instead of taking his wife out to dinner, Reyes drove to his mother\u2019s house in Orange, pulled into the garage, and closed the door. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Once the door was closed, P.O. jumped from the SUV\u2019s cargo area into the back seat and grabbed the victim in the front passenger seat. P.O. punched Claudia Reyes in the face, cutting her lip, then took a seat belt and strangled her. She was 21 years old. Reyes helped P.O. push the victim\u2019s dead body from the front passenger seat into the SUV\u2019s cargo area.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reyes further admitted in court that, the following day, he drove to the Santa Ana apartment he shared with his wife, turned on her telephone he had turned off the night before, and, posing as his wife, used her phone to send a text message to one of her co-workers saying she would not be in to work that day. <\/span><\/p>\n

P.O., also using the victim\u2019s phone, texted a paralegal working for the victim\u2019s divorce lawyer, who stated she no longer needed the lawyer\u2019s services.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 P.O. also used Claudia Reyes\u2019 phone to text her mother. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pretending to be the victim, he wrote that she had met another man, was leaving Reyes and their son, was about to disconnect the phone, and wished her a happy Mother\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On May 19, 2016, Reyes drove to a parking lot at Los Angeles International Airport and threw in the trash a backpack containing a blanket and rags that P.O. used to wipe down the seatbelt and interior of the SUV where Claudia Reyes was killed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After Reyes filed a missing person report four days later, police conducted an investigation that revealed co-workers heard Claudia Reyes fighting with her husband on May 6 soon before he picked her up in the rented SUV, according to the affidavit in support of a criminal complaint. <\/span><\/p>\n

It notes detectives later found a drop of Claudia Reyes\u2019 blood in that vehicle, and a cadaver dog indicated that a dead body had been in the SUV.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIn committing these acts, [Reyes] admits that he lured Claudia S. into the Hyundai Santa Fe on the night of May 6, 2016, with the promise of taking her to dinner, when in fact the plan was to kill her,\u201d Reyes admitted in this plea agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 United States District Judge Josephine L. Staton scheduled an August 2 sentencing hearing, when Reyes will face a statutory maximum sentence of life imprisonment. In exchange for his confession, federal prosecutors have agreed to ask Judge Staton to sentence Reyes to no more than 30 years in federal prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The FBI, the Santa Ana Police Department, and the Orange County Violent Gang Task Force, comprised of several federal, state, and local agencies, investigated the case. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant United States Attorney Gregory W. Staples of the Santa Ana Branch Office is prosecuting this case.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
