GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 Aug 2014 - Enrique Arochi kidnapping trial #5

[Coldpizza]

Trial set for man accused of kidnapping Christina Morris from Plano's Shops at Legacy

Valerie Wigglesworth

After two years, hundreds of tips and an arrest, family and friends still don't know what happened to Christina Morris.

The 23-year-old woman hasn't been seen since she walked with an acquaintance into a Plano parking garage. The time stamp on the Shops at Legacy surveillance video was 3:55 a.m. Aug. 30, 2014.

Despite intense, high-profile pleas and searches by authorities and those close to Morris, her whereabouts remain unknown.

On Sept. 6, all eyes will shift to a Collin County courtroom where the man accused in her disappearance is set to go on trial. Enrique Arochi, 26, is the acquaintance from that surveillance video. He has said he doesn't know what happened to Morris.

Plano police charged him with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony that carries a penalty of up to life in prison. Arochi has pleaded not guilty.

Prosecution Set To Rest In Christina Morris Kidnapping Trial
September 19, 2016 6:20 AM By Jennifer Lindgren

Jurors in the Christina Morris kidnapping trial have been listening to arguments which all point to Enrique Arochi being the person responsible for the 23-year-old woman’s disappearance from a Plano parking garage more than two years ago. But what do the suspect’s lawyers say happened on the night that Morris went missing?

The jury may get the answer to that question on Monday afternoon, as the prosecution is expected to rest their case after eight days of testimony.

After 8 days of making their case, prosecutors expect to rest today. 1-2 more witnesses before defense gets its turn. #arochitrial @CBSDFW

Good morning everyone.

Bringing forward the question about the "thanks for caring" text from the last thread, my guess would be that RA asked EA about his pretend headache from the night before and he was responding to that. JMO

I think so. Valerie Wigglesworth said lead detective, Robyn Busby and one unnamed civilian. I assume that's Jonni. I don't think Cathy Stamm was finished and released on Friday, so they may finish up with her.

Reporters haven't "checked in" yet on Twitter as of 2 mins ago. Impatient!!

Seems to me their defense ia going to be there is not enough evidence to convict my client. Doesnt sound like EA will testify. Just my opinion.

Defense asks about photos Stamm took of Arochi & Camaro after first interview 9/3/14; she doesn't recognize some pics #arochitrial

Just a thought I had. Unless there is more texting or calls that we dont know about between Hunter and Christina, it doesnt seem like they had a fight. It feels to me like she wanted him to meet her. His text messages to her didnt seem nasty. He just stopped responding. She seemed to get more upset the longer he didnt respond. If circumstances were different, I feel like she would have gone home and the following day would have been just another day.
