(September 21, 2006)--A suspect has been arrested in a brutal murder in which the female victim was dragged more than a mile along a suburban street behind a vehicle.
A photograph found near the body showing the victim and a man could turn out to be the vital clue.
Police say Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, 36, was held without bail in the Douglas County jail.
Sheriff Dave Weaver said the woman had not been identified.
Preliminary results of an autopsy released indicated the woman died of asphyxiation and head injuries from being strangled by being dragged by a vehicle.
The sheriff said a photo of Rubi-Nava and a woman was found near the victim when she was discovered before dawn Monday about 20 miles south of Denver.
Rubi-Nava was taken into custody Tuesday night.
Federal authorities placed an immigration hold on him, but Weaver did not say whether he was an illegal immigrant.
