The boyfriend of a missing Nampa woman is now the prime suspect in a homicide investigation that involves four men, according to Nampa police detectives...

Ramirez said several breaks in the case led them to the field in rural Canyon County. "Based on detective leads, we learned that she may not still be alive, so we ended up here based on some of their tips," he said...

"This is a very extensive-type crime scene, so we have to be very careful about how we collect evidence. We're taking our time on this," he said. "We want to do the best work we can for Ms. Thomas' family."

The boyfriend of Selena Thomas — who has been missing for about a week — told police that he struck her with a hammer, put her in a trunk and buried her in a cornfield near the Snake River, according to court documents...

"He stated that she came at him, and he pushed her backwards, causing her to strike her head on a dresser," the document says. Martinez was living at Thomas's Nampa home...

When officers examined Thomas' car, they found all the carpet had been removed from the trunk. There were also blood smears near the left hinge of the trunk.

When Jorge Luis Garcia arrived with Martinez, he saw a body wrapped in a sheet inside a bedroom closet. He says Martinez dragged the body into the garage by the legs, before picking it up and dumping it into the trunk of the car...

After Garcia left, Martinez enlisted the help of two more men: Jose Cruz Flores and Daniel Francisco Sena. Flores told investigators that the suspect gave him some of Thomas' property, including a lawnmower and weed eater...

Martinez said that Flores and Sena came with him to get rid of the body, and took turns digging a grave for Thomas' body in a field near Swan Falls.
