Thanks, Jennifer. More crime and justice news after this. A Florida man stands accused of a ghoulish, unimaginable crime, brutally murdering a mother of two

before forcing her boyfriend to help him dispose of the body all while the killer wore the victim's dress and a wig. According to court documents, the depraved act was triggered by a seemingly mundane argument over household bills. Police say 42-year-old Arnaldo Citrone murdered Huayhara Vales Bonilla, a 41-year-old mom, after she confronted him for not paying his share of the expenses. The bloodbath began after midnight in the Riverview, Florida home, where Valez Bonilla, her two teenage sons and her cousin, who was Citron's girlfriend, Giselle Santiago Bonilla, all lived. After Vales Bonilla confronted him, Citron allegedly pushed the victim to the floor of the kitchen armed himself with a kitchen knife from the counter and began stabbing the victim repeatedly while swearing at her.

The horror escalated when Veles Bonilla's boyfriend, Elga Davis the second, walked in during the attack. Centronk, with the help of his girlfriend, cornered Davis and allegedly threatened him telling him he would, quote, help them clean it up or he was next, end quote. The killer also threatened to kill Davis and the victim's 16-year-old son who was in his bedroom, if they spoke to anyone. For the next four hours, Centron allegedly forced Davis to help with the cleanup. They wrapped the victim's body in porch screening and stuffed it into a cardboard box. At one point, Veles Bonilla's 16-year-old emerged from his room,

but the killers just told him his mom had left. The disturbing ordeal took an unhinged turn when Centron ordered Davis to change into his dead girlfriend's clothing while he himself donned a dress in a curly, poofy wig for the ride. Instead of burying her as planned, they drove to a dense mangrove swamp in the Whedon Island Preserve near St. Petersburg, where they dumped Veles Bonilla's body. They also tossed the murder weapon and other evidence into the swamp. Centron reportedly offered to share some of the victim's money with Davis in exchange for his silence, but he refused the money. After the killers left the scene, Davis went straight to the

cops, bravely leading deputies to the scene and exposing the entire plot. Centron has been charged with second-degree murder with a weapon, Santiago Bonilla, faces a charge of accessory after the fact, with both also charged with unlawfully holding or moving a dead human body, tampering with evidence, and tampering with a witness. Centron is being held without bond. Santiago Bonilla, her bond, is set at $200,000. as the investigation continues. And finally, a terrified woman's silent plea for help at a 7-Eleven in Alhambra, California,

led through a dramatic and heroic rescue. Her subtle, life-saving hand gesture was spotted by a quick-thinking employee who immediately called 911. 7-11 co-worker Shamser Singh spoke to NBC4 News. He did a great job because she needed help and that that was a good time he did a, he made a good cold. The actions of the unidentified employee led to the arrest of a violent domestic abuse suspect,

John Glenn Palumby, 38 of Glendora. Body cam footage from the Alhambra Police Department captured the unfolding drama as officers calmly approached the victim and Palumby inside the store. Listen. Are you okay? Are you okay? Do you mind if I talk to you real quick? Really? Yeah. Over here, is it okay?

After separating them, they determined a domestic violence incident had indeed occurred. When an officer tried to pat down Palumby, bolted sprinting out of the store, officers gave chase tackling him in the parking lot. Further investigation revealed the career criminal had an active warrant and was carrying a stun gun. Columbia is facing charges related to his arrest, and court records indicate a long history of prior convictions for parole violations, firearms offenses, robbery, drug charges, and leading police on a pursuit. The victim whose identity remains undisclosed for her safety is now free from her captor, thanks to a small hand gesture that spoke volumes. Columbia is due in court on September 11th. See, not all heroes.
