Jon Quezada, a 39-year-old Plainview man, faces murder and kidnapping charges after deputies found his wife, 36-year-old Anna Ulibarri, dead in a Curry County field Friday.
The Curry County Sheriff's Office says deputies got the call around 4:02 p.m. Oct. 9 near Curry Road 8 and Curry Road U. Quezada phoned dispatch himself and said he found his wife dead. Deputies found Ulibarri's body with numerous serious injuries.
Investigators trace the night back to a hotel near Mabry Drive and Schepps Blvd, where the couple stayed Oct. 8. Around 3 a.m. The next morning, Ulibarri contacted the front desk and requested security. Officials say Quezada later threatened her in the hotel lobby and ordered her to leave with him. In the parking lot, they say, he battered her and forced her into a vehicle.
Quezada now faces four charges: murder, kidnapping, tampering with evidence, and unlawful possession of a firearm or destructive device. He sits in the Curry County Adult Detention Center.
