A body was found in a remote Hodgeman County field about three miles west of Hanston on the evening of October 1, 2018. Deputies identified the deceased as 21-year-old Bayron O. Diaz-Bautista of Fort Collins, Colorado. An initial autopsy determined he died from gunshot wounds and ruled his death a homicide.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation took the lead and investigators traced leads back to Fort Collins. Authorities in Larimer County arrested three people early the following Saturday: 26-year-old Emilio Nunez-Bahena, 24-year-old Veronica Nunez, and 45-year-old Emilio Nunez-Torrez. All three were booked on suspicion of first-degree murder and held without bond; plans were made to extradite them to Kansas for prosecution.

What does anyone know about Diaz-Bautista’s movements before October 1, 2018, or about contacts he may have had in the Fort Collins area?
