GUILTY NY - Mary Nagle, 42, raped & murdered, Rockland County, 29 April 2005

That's disgusting that poor woman and now those poor kids with no mom.It is so scary when you have workers at your house,I try to always have my husband home if a worker is coming.
 
I can't believe how disgusting this man is!!!

This is a terrible tragedy! :mad:
 
At least they have the guy. :furious: I'd hate to think of him running around loose. What a horrible animal he is. :behindbar
 
and of course.... the guy pleads not guilty
 
Of course! What would make you think he would plead guilty? The fact that he called 51 people on HER phone and described the murder? That doesn't make him guilty, does it?
 
Lewd calls made on slain housewife's cell phone
NEW CITY, New York (AP) -- Hours after a suburban housewife was raped and killed, her sister received a call made from the victim's cell phone in which a man lewdly described having sex with her, the sister testified.

Prosecutors say the caller was Douglas Herrera Castellanos, who is on trial for the killing of Mary Nagle, 42. They charge that Herrera, who was hired to wash Nagle's deck, raped and brutally killed her in her bedroom nearly a year ago.

Herrera, 30, an immigrant from Guatemala whose visa expired in 2001, faces a life term with no parole if convicted of first-degree murder. He also faces rape, robbery and burglary charges.

Testifying on what would have been Nagle's 43rd birthday, her sister, Donna McGrath said the caller told her he wanted to have sex with her, too. She said she tried unsuccessfully to get the man to tell her where he was.

McGrath was among five women who testified Monday about getting calls from Nagle's phone after she was killed. Three of the calls were obscene, they said.

Prosecutors say Herrera made the calls to women whose names he found in the cell phone's directory. They say he called the women as he left the Nagle home in this suburb north of New York City.

"He kept saying pornographic, dirty things to me," said Anna Solicito, a friend of Nagle's. "He was very calm, very matter-of-fact, like he enjoyed what he was saying."

A telephone company employee testified previously that Nagle's cell phone was used for more than 50 calls after she died, including several to Guatemala.

One of the detectives who conducted the first police interview with Herrera said the defendant repeatedly denied killing or raping Nagle.

Not involved with 9/11, but an illegal immigrant nonetheless. Too bad we couldn't have tracked him and deported him.

A day laborer convicted of the barbaric rape and murder of a Rockland County mother of two was sentenced to life without parole yesterday – on what would have been his victim’s 13th wedding anniversary...

Speaking softly, his voice cracking with emotion, Nagle, 42, said the Guatemalan handyman “beat, cut, raped, sodomized and strangled the greatest love of my life and the mother of my two children.”
