Domestic Dispute Escalates Into Family Tragedy

Henry and Malena Morales were happily married in 1994. But the honeymoon period would only last so long before police became all too familiar with the pair.

Over the years, cops in Brampton, Ontario tell us that Henry became increasingly abusive towards Malena, both mentally and physically. With each passing day, his controlling ways overpowered their relationship.

During their twelfth year of marriage, on July 11, 2006, the couple got into a fierce argument inside their 12th story high-rise apartment.

According to police, Henry Morales shut the door to their master bedroom, then beat and strangled 31-year-old Malena to death in what they believe was a maniacal moment of fury.

Their two children, ages 7 and 10, were in a nearby room while the murder took place -- well within earshot of their parents' brutal fight.

Immediately after the shocking murder, detectives with the Peel Regional Police say Henry Morales took his children and went out for the evening. The next day, Morales went to his brother's home and dropped the kids off with his sister-in-law.

Since Henry's brother wasn't home at the time, Peel Police Det. Thomas Warfield tell us Henry later called his sibling to say that, "he's done something terrible to his wife, and he wants him to take care of his kids."

By the time cops found Malena's body, in the early morning hours of July 13, Morales was long gone.

Morales has a stutter, particularly when he tries to roll his 'R's in Spanish. From what cops tell us, his double-roll of the letter 'R' is quite pronounced.

Cops: Murder Suspect May Be South Of the Border

At the onset of their investigation, cops realized he'd gotten a day-long head-start and fled the country. They know he used his Canadian passport to fly from Toronto to Juarez, Mexico, where he began his new life as a fugitive from justice.

In the years since, cops have determined that Morales might have fled to other Latin American countries such as Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama or El Salvador, his native homeland.

Due to his international fugitive status, cops got Interpol on the case. They immediately issued a Red Notice for Morales, and will do their part to pick him up wherever he surfaces next.

In addition to his connections throughout Latin America, Morales has family right here in the United States.

Cops have learned Morales' father lives in Harris County, Texas, so he might be trying to blend in there, or possibly in a border town.

Cops: International Fugitive Has Many Quirks

Morales has a stutter, particularly when he tries to roll his 'R's in Spanish. From what cops tell us, his double-roll of the letter 'R' is quite pronounced.

He's had his two front teeth replaced with veneers, which may actually make his stutter even more noticeable.

Morales is a huge soccer fan, and loves watching and rooting for Brazil and Ecuador's national teams. Cops tell us he's also a huge fitness buff, and works out as much as he can.

On his upper right arm, Morales has a barbed-wire tattoo wrapping around his bicep.

Throughout his life, Morales never racked up a criminal history of any sort. However, he had been known to be excessively aggressive to Malena in the years leading up to the murder.

As a matter of fact, cops tell us that while in Ecuador just months before her murder, Malena filed a report with police -- alleging that Morales had choked her, but she was somehow able to get away with her life at the time.

Unfortunately, nothing ever became of the allegations, and charges were never filed.

Since Morales had a clean police record, he passed background checks and was able to acquire a job as a security guard for a major tire store chain.

Cops believe any women he's dated in the past few years may have seen his wrath come to light at some point or another.

Now, Peel Police need your help to make sure Morales gets put behind bars before his fury can lead to even more senseless tragedies in the future.

Thoughts? Morales was a web-exclusive on amw.com. Obviously we have a Canada theme going this week in regards to adding recent fugitives, but this guy in particular needs to be caught badly. I hate fugitives who commit crimes with children as witnesses or nearby enough to hear the terror. Morales, based on his alleged crime, is dangerous and a ticking time bomb. There are a lot of clues to help catch this guy whether he's in Mexico, El Salvador, or anywhere else in Latin America or the mainland United States.
