Elvira Segura was 67 and retired from a career as a Santa Fe librarian when she was killed in her Nambe, New Mexico, home in September 2016. Neighbors later reported hearing what sounded like gunshots from her residence about three weeks before her body was discovered. An autopsy indicated Segura had been dead for several weeks when officers entered the house following the discovery of her car abandoned in Las Cruces on September 24, 2016. Her body was found in a blood-splattered bathroom.

Segura’s tenant and handyman, 57-year-old Robert Mondrian-Powell, who had been living in her house, drew investigators’ attention. He was seen holding a yard sale, selling Segura’s possessions while her body remained inside. Mondrian-Powell was located in Las Cruces, booked into the Dona Ana County jail on a murder charge, and, according to a fundraising page set up by Segura’s son, had confessed and was to be arraigned on charges including second-degree murder.

Did anyone in the area know Segura or see activity at her home in the weeks before her body was found?
