Police knew it would be a tough case when they arrived at a Fadette community home earlier this week.
“I arrived at the scene and after quickly looking that this was going to be a very difficult case and very complex,” Geneva County Sheriff, Tony Helms said.
The body of Benito Guzman was found on Tuesday dismembered in a car at home in the Fadette community. In the case, his lover, Joselina Lopez is charged with his murder.
Sources say she allegedly dismembered Guzman with a chainsaw and then put his dismembered body in a car. Police say they have never really had a case like this in the county.
Except for the case of Chad Brogden a few years ago, a man found guilty of murdering his mother in Dale County and dismembering her.
Police later located her body in Geneva County in the trunk of a burning car near the Choctawhatchee River. Brogden is now serving a life sentence in prison.
“Dismembering a body in an attempt to get rid of it again is something that is unusual also that doesn’t happen very often around here,” Sheriff Helms said.
Sheriff Helms tells us that neither Guzman nor Lopez had prior run-ins with the law and that they were never called to their household for a domestic dispute.
“We looked that over and had any domestic calls or problems at that address we could find in our records,” Sheriff Helms said.
The investigation into Guzman’s death is still ongoing and officials say it could be a while until it concludes, but when it does it is possible that Lopez could face additional charges.
“This investigation is not over with and will continue and it will be several months probably before everything is done and it gets to a position for a trial,” Sheriff Helms said. “If we get it tried within the year, I’d be surprised.”
An autopsy is currently being conducted on Guzman’s body, so law enforcement can figure out the exact cause of death.
