GUILTY Al - Oralia Mendoza, 49, & Mariah Feit Lopez, 13, Madison County, 7 Jun 2018 *arrests*

“Donny Shaw, a public information officer for the Madison County Sheriff's Office, declined to say how Lopez was killed, only that it was “heinous.”

"It's a very brutal means of death and whenever the public learns of it, it's going to be shocking and it's going to be upsetting a lot of people. We want to deliver that information so that we don't harm the upcoming cases and trials that will be had," Shaw added.“
I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more traffic.

Police: 13-year-old girl dead in ‘brutal’ killing, grandmother’s body also believed found
Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Donny Shaw described Lopez’s cause of death as “heinous” but declined to say how she was killed, WAFF reported.
Gina Long, a substitute teacher who taught Lopez at Challenger Middle School, in Huntsville, described the girl as quiet and sweet in an interview with WAFF.
Palomino was initially arrested for possession of methamphetamine, WAFF reported. Both men were interviewed separately, at which time detectives developed enough probable cause to arrest them in Lopez’s killing.
Leads in the investigation led detectives to Moon Cemetery, where the second body was found, according to a news release issued Friday. The cemetery is about 2½ miles from the wooded area where Lopez’s body was found.
 
I would really like to know how they are acquainted. Also where are Mariah's parents ?

WHNT News 19 has learned from friends close to the case that Mendoza lived with Yoni Aguilar.

They said Mendoza and Aguilar were dating. They moved into a home on Pinedale Drive together about a month ago. Neighbors who wish to remain anonymous said they're in disbelief a neighbor has been charged with murder. "He's just a friendly person. He's never been in any kind of trouble," Anonymous Neighbor explained.

Neighbors said Aguilar told them he got into a fight with Mendoza then she took Lopez and left, and he couldn't find them.

"He said he woke up she wasn't there. The granddaughter wasn't there either," Anonymous Neighbor said.

she is A LOT older than this dude, I was thinking he had short eyes and got w her to get at the grand daughter, nasty pedo. but still not clear here on motive. maybe it was drug related, idk.

I meant the guy wanted to sell the granddaughter for drugs and had to murder the grandmother first.
 
I agree he may have been targeting the girl - especially because two men are accused of doing it. But Oralia looks like she is 29, not 49 (how?!), so I don't find it odd she had a younger boyfriend. I wish that beauty and vitality hadn't been snuffed out. I still want to know where mom and the girl's father is and if they know the perps.
 
Aguilar told detectives that Mendoza was involved with the Sinaloa cartel, considered to be the world’s most powerful drug trafficking organization.

Rutherford testified that the defendant told investigators that he, Palomino, Mendoza and a woman named Leticia Garcia traveled June 2 to Norcross, Georgia, where they picked up a quarter kilo of meth for the cartel. Along the way, something went wrong and Palomino became suspicious that Mendoza and Garcia, who was also tied to the cartel, might be setting him up, Aguilar said in his statement.

WAAY in Huntsville reported that Rutherford testified that sometime after the group returned to Huntsville, Palomino learned that Mendoza had removed the SIM card from her cellphone. He also found a text she sent during the drug run to Georgia, in which she asked an unknown woman to pick up her granddaughter, who was with Palomino’s wife, because she feared that she and her granddaughter were in danger.

Early on June 4, the men woke Mendoza at their Huntsville home and told her that they were taking her and Lopez, who had special needs, somewhere safe, AL.com reported. Rutherford testified that they were instead taken to Moon Cemetery, located about 15 miles southeast of the city in Owens Cross Roads.

Palomino and Mendoza argued in the cemetery about the drug deal and Palomino stabbed the grandmother multiple times, leaving her for dead, Aguilar told investigators.

Lopez, who witnessed her grandmother’s slaying, was taken to a wooded area about 2½ miles from the cemetery, where Aguilar said Palomino forced him to kill the girl.

Rutherford testified that Aguilar told investigators he was holding the knife when Palomino grabbed his arm and moved it back and forth in a “sawing motion,” with which the girl was beheaded.

Aguilar said he participated in the slayings out of fear.
