Think you should get a grip. It's current news they report. They can't give you who is a suspect until the police arrest him. They can't arrest him till they have enough evidence to do so. What do the police suspect happened - 'domestic situation'. So when the police have more cruicial info and their ducks in order to arrest the husband, it will be reported in another article.

I honestly don't get your beef!

JG - tz's post is perfectly justifiable. I was wondering the same thing. It is a lame news article, like most MSNBC articles are. There is little information. People are stabbed every day. Why did MSNBC decide to make this one a national headline?

tz, you must have been on vacation. MSNBC reported the 1942 American "fighter Jet" found in the desert which of course was a prop, and the FBI guy with a gun who ran away for no reason given in the article. It is the texting dumbed down generation writing in circles.

She looked like a nice girl and nobody deserves to die that way, condolences to the family. I'll end with that.......

We don't necessarily need a suspect JG, just a little info on where the new husband is. They talked to the cousin and the family so they have looked around, so where is the baby Daddy?

I don't see where the article says they don't suspect him. It just says he hasn't been charged and that they haven't named a suspect yet.

It was his former girl friend there I said it..

I suspect someone who had something to do with this, there I said it

Nothing says "I love you honey" more than a good old-fashioned stabbing-murder-dump in the bath tub. I mean really, when you are so newly married, you'd think these two would be attached at the hip, so to speak. My money's on the husband, and if I'm right, how dumb can you be? You don't think you're the first one they're coming after pal?

I just want to know why a social welfare agency in Illinois needs a spanish interpreter.

photobiker, probably because some people there speak Spanish. That's typically what Spanish translators help with.

TZ, this isn't a "bad article" because it doesn't give every detail. According to your definition of "good journalism," we wouldn't know what was going on until a full investigation, arrest, trial, conviction and sentencing. They're giving the details they have in a timely manner, which is how news media has always operated. The article, as always, will be updated ongoing.

Alan: They need a translator for "written" documents, an interpreter for the "spoken" word.

@photobiker......Your guess is as good as mine, I guess.

Bathtub eh? Didn't want folks to know who she was marrying? Drew Peterson?

They don't suspect her new husband...but they believe it was a "domestic situation". Where the heck was her "new husband" when this happened?! I wish news people would NOT put out news articles that make NO sense at all...and that give people more questions than answers! RESPONSIBILE JOURNALISM what the heck happened to that?! Don't report the news until you have enough facts to report it!

Not possible that it was a guy she was banging on the side? I am NOT a journalist in any way shape or form, just saying.... At this point? Could have been her expected husband, a jilted lover, a father that did not like the groom... How about NOT jumping to conclusions? Do YOU know all the facts? I sure don't. Before ya start strining up the damn rope, maybe ya should temper your response..and wait to see what happens...

HEADLINE: "Still wearing wedding dress, woman stabbed to death in bathtub"

My first reaction to the headline was "Drowning?" ( you get in a bathtub wearing a wedding dress, and ... well. I'm just sayin' ...)

I wish news people would NOT put out news articles that make NO sense at all

But it makes perfect sense. Flashy Tile = Click = ad revenue, content optional.

I suspect, tz, that there are a great many things that don't make much sense to you.

I have found there is always alot more info on stories but msnbc is to lazy to report fully.

Carrera had applied for a wedding license on May 2, authorities said. The 30-year-old man she filed to marry was not at his Southwest Side home Monday afternoon.
[...]

The Cook County Clerk does not yet have a marriage certificate on file, according to spokeswoman Gail Siegel. Whoever presided over Carrera’s wedding ceremony has to sign it then submit it to the clerk, Siegel said.

Burbank police and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force are investigating Carrera’s death.

They have been unable to locate the 'husband"

JG is correct...they can't give you everything because they don't know everything and, in spite of what you may believe, it's not about what YOU want to know.

Would you prefer they wait til it ALL comes out before anything gets reported?

Better to not report it at all. This world is so depressing, why make it worse? Still a shame this girl suffered the way she did.

Thank you Bluthunder, and for all of you that have your panties in an uproar, because TZ said it was not good reporting-it wasn't. If bluthunder can get that critical to the story information, why couldn't the writer of this story, because the writer rushed it to print and was too lazy to gather all the available pertinent facts. Thank God you other jabronski's aren't journalists.

Condolences to the family. Who wrote the article? I love how they conclude the article by saying it was ruled a homicide when the 1st paragraph said "She had been stabbed multiple times." To wit I say, "No clue Sherlock." What, did you think it was a suicide. Or maybe manslaughter multiple times.

First of all if you if you don't live near the victim, you really don't need to know anything about what happen. It doesn't affect you. (Those living near the victim may need to know for safety reasons). Second, I believe the issue with a person speaking Spanish for a social welfare is questionable because only US citizens should be eligible for TAX DOLLARS and US Citizens speak English so there is no need for a Spanish interpreter. (If you are a natural born citizen, you grew up having to learn English in school. If you are a Naturalized Citizen, you had to learn to read, speak and write English for citizenship). Having said that, it is still awful that she was murdered. It is a terrible crime.

@Al

"First of all if you if you don't live near the victim, you really don't need to know anything about what happen. It doesn't affect you. "

Really?! Ever heard of "six degrees of separation"? Just because a person doesn't "LIVE" in the area doesn't mean that they aren't in some way related to or know someone in that area that may be affected. There are so many other possibilities that you seem to not be aware of as well.

In a diverse area such as Chicago, we have translators/interpreters for a variety of languages. Polish & German are other languages frequently needing translators. There are also a lot of Serbs, Ukranians, Russians, etc. It just so happens that this article is about a woman who is a Spanish interpreter.

Can't blame the NRA for this one.....Chicago's make-it nearly-impossible-to-get-a-Gun Ban is working....New bride/widow in Oklahoma put a gaping hole in the chest of her knife wielding attacker with one shot.

"As seen on TV" Yoshi Knives sells 2 murder weapons for the price of 1....just pay separate Shipping and Handling....

Second, I believe the issue with a person speaking Spanish for a social welfare is questionable because only US citizens should be eligible for TAX DOLLARS and US Citizens speak English so there is no need for a Spanish interpreter.

Wrong and ignorant on almost all counts. Try again.

It could be a marriage of convenience - for benefits - happens all the time. With married couples getting far more benefits and tax brakes than single people, why not take advantage of what others get? The majority of people who have been married for 10 years or more, are no longer in love with each other, some even resent each other... it is what it is.

I'll bet all of you know people who you thought would never last - they last because it is easier than starting over.

drainbramage....Two schools of thought on that one....

It's cheaper to keep her

AND

If I would have killed him/her when I first wanted to, I'de be out of prison by now.....//sarc-off//

Ok, I'll be the first. However killed this young woman I hope is caught soon. My most sincere condolences to her family and friends :(

She was still in her dress from the wedding reception.... that would NEVER make anyone suspect her new hubby, would it?

WOW, sounds like someone was laying in wait for her.......a jealous suitor, an enraged family member, or perhaps a former lover. The manner of death sounds very violent, and PERSONAL, being that there were so many stab wounds (over kill, no pun intended). I immediately thought it might be a woman that killed her, because women typically are 'neater' than men, and they don't like to leave a mess, so they tend to do things like this in a more organized/tidy way. Many women who kill themselves do so in the bath tub, or they stay in their bed. Rarely do they use a gun (too much of a mess). This story at best, is sketchy and not very informative. Hopefully the perp can quickly be apprehended.

Very sad for her two children, and her family. My best to those left behind.

Do_Not_Mess_With_Texas

The children were with the woman's father. The family is who called the police.

"Carrera was supposed to pick up her children from her father’s house the next day, Saturday, but she never showed up. By 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, her family dispatched police for a well-being check."

Don't Mess With Texas ~ The article states that her children were at her father's house and when she didn't pick them up at the designated time; the family dispatched the police for a well-being check. So thankfully the children are fine.

As a teenager, reading this article it surprises me and than again... not so much. The world, the hate, its normal, something you expect. Sitting in U.S. History class, listening to girls run their mouth about ex's and their new girlfriends. I have heard, "Im going to curb stomp her." "lets slit her throat". "Lets cut his penis off". Or, my personal fav... "lets murder her and let her bleed".. Seriously? Jealous much? Im telling you....

Now, this women is mysterious, and beautiful. Not a good combo. Thats asking for trouble. Maybe she was scared for people to know that she was getting married. The husband,(whoever he may be) or maybe a jealous ex, would be who i would look at first. I hope the her children find a good home, they must be terrified. :C I just hope the police can hurry up and do their job fast enough to figure this out, so we dont all go crazy trying to decide who is right and who is wrong. This girl, this women, I just wish she could have trust someone, anyone. It is no fun to be alone.

She had been stabbed multiple times,

Carrera’s death was ruled a homicide following an autopsy Monday.

It took an autopsy to determine that it was a homicide (human killing a human)?

Since it took an autopsy to make the determination, I'm guessing that it make have been some suspicion that she committed suicide by stabbing herself multiple times.

I'm willing to guess that the autopsy was to determine which stabbing actually ended up killing her or if maybe she was dead prior to the stabbing. Stuff like that. It's not homicide if she was dead prior to stabbing, it's different like mutilation or something. So actual cause of death must be determined in order for the aggressor(s) to be charged correctly.

I read this yesterday on a Chicago's newspaper site. At that time the groom was never mentioned at all. I was so pissed off that they didn't even mention him. Like he would not have been around the day he got married, while his wife was still in the dress? I want to hear what he has to say.

How do you know if the wounds happened before she died without an autopsy? If they happened after she died then it wasn't murder. So yes, you need an autopsy to know this sort of thing.

No, just proves that the coroner was a moron, or paid off, which means he was a moron.

I never understood the "don't mess with texas" thing. Not the biggest state, not the most populated... What gives?

Biggest of the lower 48, and one of the few that was formerly its own independent country. Also, originally population by Texicans who were in large measure p.o.ed former Tennesseans like Davy Crockett, who were not to be messed with, as Santa Anna learned, to his chagrin.

TZ needs to understand what she reads better. Geez....wonder she didn't ask what the verdict was!

JG - you are the one who needs to understand what constitutes good news reporting, which this article is not.

dang...where's the picture of the bride and groom...

They reported all that has been released. Lets not beg for more Yellow Journalism than we already get.

Where do you get it's bad reporting? Sounds to me like they told everything they knew. I don't like to support the press because they can be very hurtful, but they did their job.

The cops aren't going to give out all the info...they need to make sure they can get the killer first.

That's because they didn't know anything other than what they saw on the noon news. It was sloppy reporting, if that's what it was.

Has anyone questioned Bill yet? Police should be on the lookout for a tall blonde with an eye patch!!

Leave me alone, Great movie!

This one was a little different because she was a new bride. Hours after getting married, she is found stabbed to death in her wedding dress. The new husband no where to be found? It doesn't take to much of a rocket scientist to figure out who the prime suspect is here.

This type of reporting is not new. Even twenty years ago, word on local TV news was "If it bleeds, it leads."

"Film at 11."

He did it. It's quite obvious!! Any good authority figure should know by now, or I question the authorities.

I wouldn't say that it's happening much more than it has in the past. But because social media has nothing to do but glorify and horrify, it's put out there more. You hear it more because they have to make money and have nothing better to do. You CAN change it, turn your TV off. :)

I try not to listen to the news. I don't feel unsafe when i'm in downtown Indianapolis (most the time, there are certain events I wish they would do away with), but the news makes me feel like I should. I don't appreciate that, I'd rather watch the radar needle spin in circles than have them talk about one more molestor, rape, theft, shooting or murder. I choose not to listen.

I would not doubt that the husband is a prime suspect. I've seen all sorts of ideas that it may also be a jilted lover of hers. But for me, I would suspect a jilted lover of the new husband did this. He picked the wrong baby's mama to marry. Just sayin..........

"Can we film the operation/is the head dead yet/you know the boys in the news room got a running bet/get the widow on the set/give us dirty laundry" Don Henley circa 1984.

LOTS of crazy men. They just keep coming after us and our children. Sometimes it is overwhelming and hard to like the other gender.

Kinda puts me in mind of our expectation that an entire society of, say, Muslims should apologize for the terrorists and put 'em out of business. Sometimes I get so disgusted that I think 50% of our population should do likewise with their foul fellow men.

They just keep coming after us and our children.

These things don't happen in a vacuum. Women have a responsibility to love ourselves and our children enough to not date/marry these $%&$ing idiots hoping it will be ok.

If you can't share your nuptials with anyone in your family, something is terribly wrong or will go terribly wrong. Usually, if your family objects to a man you are dating, it's because they have figured out he is a tool before you do.

Love yourself enough and you will never settle for a tool.

If you can't share your nuptials with anyone in your family, something is terribly wrong or will go terribly wrong.

Sorry, but some families have members who shouldn't be invited, period. Child-molesters come to mind.

Child-molesters come to mind.

Certainly child molester family members should be excluded from your special day.

I was only saying if you don't share it with anyone, something isn't good. You should be proud of your husband and your union (especially since your children will have him as their dad).

So then I guess that all women in this world should turn lesbian then. Since you have concluded that "all men" are no good. Then I can expect the human race to dwindle in number soon, since women don't trust any man at all anymore.

Correction JG-895068 there are a whole lot of crazy people out there as in men and women!!!! This is just another example of how twisted some people are. He could of at least let her change out of wedding dress before he whacked her. Then again I have to ask myself if she didn't want to tell any of her friends in advance that she was going to marry this guy that is a major red flag and fits right in with what some of her friends had to say about him as in they didn't like the guy and it would appear at this point for good reason. This is very sad, but if she was in love with a nutcase there is very little that anyone could have done to keep her from getting married to this guy.

As a woman myself, I don't have any problem in admitting that there is just as many crazy women out there as crazy men. There's all kinds of crazy people out there, but I wouldn't down a whole gender based off of a few bad apples.

another man, meaning other than the one whom she married and had the youngest child with, they haven't seen her with another man ever.

You're right Hehwood, the reporter could have at least stated that the husband hadn't been seen, or he went to get something from the store and got mugged. He left for his job on a tugboat, anything to account for his absence.

and they get paid (I guess) to write them.

I believe the fact that she was wearing a wedding dress was more than likely thrown in because of the oddity of it.

it's the windy city...sad but there's nut's every where who kill...just another murder in america...

smartone: I concur...the reporter must have made an error & it really happened in Florida...the only state where these types of incidents occur... Seriously tho, prayers for the children involved.

No Hot, it's not just you, she does kinda favor Kim K. But niether of the two has anything up on you, if your avatar is in fact a real photo of you.

Hey hot-in-Miami, tell me just one thing...is that you, really? If not go jump in Biscayne Bay and quit trying to be a smart hot chick. Of course I agree with krotch kricket, that is a lovely picture.

I thought she favored Kim K too, I could make a tasteless joke about Kim's marriage lasting longer....

plain Bob that was not funny...you made me laugh at a tragic thing, shame on you.

I can see it now.....Lets ban all knives so that only killers have them and honest people have to eat their steak with a butter knife. Anything with a point can be used to stab someone, it doesn't have to be a knife.

Ban pencils and pens unless you can prove you are not a journalist.

They dont need them either, all they'll use them for is to phuck up another article.

as far fetched as it seems, he may have been abducted by bad guys for a gambling or drug debt and someone else killed her. They have gangs in the city that would do far worse for a dollar.

He killed her dummies!!!!!!!!!!!

Idiot!!!!!!!

Oh, so sorry, do they have anti knife laws too that work?

Give him credit for being sharp enough to figure out that she didn't stab herself to death and then stuff herself under the bathtub!

I know...that sounded kind of stupid...but I bet that with the way the laws are now, they are making sure everything is done correctly and no chance to screw it up. There'd be some defense lawyer out there who would say they ruled it too early, no matter how obvious it was.

Learn to spell dick!!!!!!!!

"When police showed up to Estrella Carrera’s apartment outside Chicago on Sunday"

So, it's a suburb of Chicago, big freakin deal. It's all one big $hit hole anyway.

Anyone ever hear of 'breaking news'? They tell you what they can at that particular moment and update you with additional info when they get it.

Because, THEY LOVE IT!

no brothers Krotch Kricket would get smacked up and down the block then run over yup thats right!!!!!!!

Sometimes, scum puts on a pretty face & talks a good game. "But he looks normal, he doesn't look like a bad guy.....& he says he loves me....." Some people want a relationship so badly, they're not inclined to look too close at all the little details that might indicate that their beloved isn't quite the catch they'd prefer to believe s/he is.
