Edgar Gonzalez Zavala is wanted in connection with the homicide of 42-year old April Boggs. On July 29, 2012, authorities found the body of April inside her home. She had been sexually assaulted and bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat. Her jewelry and vehicle were also stolen. The vehicle was later located in the town of Weimer which is to the west of the Houston metro area.
Charges were filed against Edgar on September 26, 2012 for capital murder.

Thoughts? As of today, August 4, 2021, the case against Edgar Zavala in the Harris County Court Records database is still in warrant/citation issued status. It also lists Edgar as not in custody and no records of him being booked on these charges in the "bookings/holds" section of the case file.
I learned about this really horrible case while checking the warrant/citation issued cases in the Harris County Court Records database from 2013. There was a case filed against Edgar in 2012, but it was dismissed a year later (According to the images section, it was refiled for whatever reason and replaced with a new case entry in 2013). I feel the case was refiled possibly because the 2012 case file was for a "murder case" and the 2013 case file was for a "capital murder" case, indicating the charges were upgraded.
It's also frustrating that there has been no further publicity on this manhunt since 2012. It's always a concern that these alleged sexually motivated killers will reoffend if not in custody.
Finally, I did not see an UFAP case for Edgar in PACER.
