Eliezer Márquez Navedo has admitted to murdering a young American tourist named Sara Kuszak in the town of Ceiba and is currently awaiting trial in a detention center in Fajardo, according to local paper El Nuevo Dia.
Márquez confessed to members of the Homicide Division of the Criminal Investigation Unit to having raped and killed Sarah Kuszak yesterday in Puerto Rico’s Fajardo municipality. Kuszak was an American tourist from Savannah Georgia. She was six months pregnant.
According to Antonio López, head of the Criminal Investigations Unit, Márquez claims he saw Sara Kuszak as she was jogging down a road. He then proceeded to open the trunk of his car and wait until she passed by. He then overpowered Kuszak and forced her into the trunk of his vehicle.
From the trunk of the car Sara Kuszak managed a desperate phone call for her help. According to the Associated Press, she was found approximately an hour later with her throat cut. Márquez was then located because the FBI picked up a signal from the victim's cell phone, which he was still carrying. Márquez was picked up by police while covered in the victim’s blood. He originally claimed that the blood came from a horse that belonged to his brother.
Kuszak was apparently going to visit some friends whose yacht was at a marina in Fajardo, in eastern Puerto Rico, marina spokeswoman Frances Rios said. After she was kidnapped, Kuszak called a marina employee on her cell phone from the trunk of the car, Ocasio said. According to local paper El Nuevo Día, the only thing that the young tourist was able to say during the call was “I have been kidnapped. I’m in the trunk of a car,” before the line was cut. The employee quickly called 911 official transcripts place the time of the call at 9:10 a.m.
Sara Kuszak arrived on the island and quickly met up with her friends and fiancée. According to Matt Daniel, a close friend from Georgia, “She was looking forward to the rest of her life with her fiancé and her unborn baby."
