Woman found dead in a storage unit after husband stated he was driving her to work and there was 'discussion of divorce' between the couple, police said.

Chilling domestic homicide case in Saratoga Springs, Utah: 43-year-old Jeusselem Elieth Genes found dead in a storage trailer days after she and husband Alvaro Jose Urbina Rojas, 57, vanished from home on Feb. 26. Rojas is now a person of interest, possibly suspect, as police hunt him amid signs he fled to California.

Disappearance Timeline

Couple left home ~10 a.m. for her work shift; she never arrived. Family initially unconcerned—no health issues, clean record, Venezuelan immigrants (19-year marriage, adult daughter, teen son)—but reported missing next day after no contact. Recent divorce talks noted, no known violence.

Cell data: Her phone off; his last pinged Draper, UT (storage site, 18 miles north). Gray 2005 Toyota Sequoia spotted Las Vegas same day, then CA purchases. Trailer search warrant Monday revealed her body; homicide ruled post-autopsy (details pending). Vehicle last tracked in CA, no Mexico border cross.

Family baffled—described her as doting mom, no red flags. Police Chief Andrew Burton: Caught everyone off-guard. Rojas could face charges with more evidence; multi-state search ongoing.

Sad pattern in your shared U.S. crime stories—missing spouse turns suspect. What’s your read on Rojas’ guilt?
