Summary of Incident
On 03/06/1987, Ibarra sexually assaulted and murdered a 16 year old Hispanic female. The victim was looking after her two young nephews inside her home when she was attacked by Ibarra, a family acquaintance. She was beaten, raped and then strangled with an electrical cord. When questioned, Ibarra was found with scratches on his face and torso. Skin from under the victim's fingernails was later identified as Ibarra's. Ibarra was released from custody after a judge suppressed certain evidence in the case. Legislative changes in laws ruling the presentation of evidence allowed prosecutors to pursue the case nearly 10 years later. Ibarra was living in Bell County when arrested on October 10, 1996.
