Boyfriend of Missing Richardson Woman Wanted for Murder

The boyfriend of a missing Richardson woman is now wanted for her murder.

Richardson police issued an arrest warrant for Luis Manuel Rodriguez. Police believe he may have killed 25-year-old Camelia Perez-Hernandez.

"We are looking for Mr. Rodriguez. We do believe that he would likely know where she is at, and if any foul play has taken place it's likely at the hands of Mr. Rodriguez," said Richardson Police Sgt. Kevin Perlick.

Hernandez worked as a real estate agent in Plano. Her family reported her missing July 12.

Her family says they last spoke with her July 11 while she was exercising near her Richardson apartment. The only signs of her ever since, they say, are a pair of pink shorts and a workout mat belonging to Hernandez. They were found near her apartment.

"Where is she? What happened to her?" said Camelia's mother Vicenta Hernandez on the one-month anniversary of the disappearance. "There are a thousand questions that I have."

Police say the only person to hear from Rodriguez since the disappearance is his employer, when Rodriguez called to say "thank you" for the job, police explained.

The call traced back to a phone number in Mexico, where police say Rodriguez may have fled.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Richardson police.
