Authorities seeking witness in Navy veteran's disappearance
They say the man's wife might have killed him and that the witness might hold the clues.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma County authorities are seeking the public's help in finding a potentially key witness in the case of a missing Navy veteran who they think has been murdered.

Manuel Salado , 34, of Oklahoma City has not been seen since Oct. 8, and Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said Friday that authorities believe that he was killed by his wife, Exondia Salado, 36.

But police have not been able to find Manuel Salado 's body and have not filed any charges in the case.

. . .
Authorities began investigating tips that Manuel Salado , a member of the Army Reserves, might have been killed before a missing-person report was filed, First Assistant District Attorney Scott Rowland said.

The Army has said Salado missed a weekend of drills after Oct. 8, Prater said.

From the December 18, 2008, Oklahoman:

. . .

Exondia J. Salado was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the shooting death of her husband, whose body has not been found. She was arrested Tuesday in Florida.

Salado, 36, told a witness she shot Manuel Salado twice in the bedroom of their Oklahoma City apartment on Oct. 8, 2007. . . She wrapped the body in plastic and a sheet before burning it at an abandoned house, the witness told police.

Authorities have been unable to locate the house.

. . .

Exondia Salado's computer had evidence of Internet searches dealing with "death, gunshot wounds and recipes for cooking a human body," according to the affidavit.

State Briefs: Trial can go on, but body not found

A judge Friday ruled the evidence against a murder defendant is sufficient for a trial, even though her husband’s body was never found.

Exondia J. Salado, 37, is accused of fatally shooting Manuel Salado. . .

She also apparently researched on the Internet how to cut up a body, how to keep a hostage, how to build a barbecue pit and how a body decomposes, according to other testimony. One article put into evidence was "Butchering the Human Carcass for Human Consumption.”
