From the website fugitivekillers.com:
Benito Jesus Frausto a.k.a. Carlos Backazar is most wanted by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for the murder of Julian Hernandez. According to Adair County and state authorities Frausto, Alberto Martinez and Ashlie Gonzalis shot Julian Hernandez during an armed robbery.
On April 1, 2004, the trio is believed to have broken into Julian Hernandez's mobile home in rural Adair County about two miles northeast of Stillwell, Oklahoma to rob him of his money. However, Hernandez fought back against the trio's attack, but was eventually shot with a .22 caliber rifle to overcome his resistance.
Both Gonzalis and Martinez have been captured. Gonzalis was adjudicated as a youthful offender in January 2005 and placed on probation for conspiracy to commit armed robbery and possession of a firearm while committing a felony. Martinez plead guilty to one count of murder and an amended count of conspiracy to commit robbery.
Meanwhile, Benito Jesus Frausto remains a fugitive at-large. Frausto was last seen in Tulsa, Oklahoma leaving Saint Francis Hospital at approximately 8:00 p.m., three days after the murder on April 4, 2004. Frausto is believed to have fled to Mexico. Additionally, Frausto's mother lives in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. He frequently uses aliases such as Carlos Backazar and is known to have stayed with relatives in Missouri as a youngster before the murder.
Thoughts? Some additional info from different websites is Frausto has a girlfriend and son in Stillwell, Oklahoma. Most of these sites might be a few years old, so some of the info may have changed. (He still must have a son obviously but no word on whether the woman in Oklahoma is still his girlfriend). I've found a lot of confusing court documents with warrants being withdrawn and then issued again over and over (one document mentioned an original warrant unable to be found- yikes!) but it appears the last warrant was issued last October so it appears Backazar is still wanted. Although I'm still wondering why some sort of 2012 complaint was dismissed because "it has been determined Frausto never left the state of Oklahoma." All I know is I decided to add this case since the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (OSBI) still has it on their website so I'm assuming Frausto is still wanted and authorities would still appreciate tips if anyone knows his whereabouts.
