George De La Cruz is sitting in the Travis County Jail accused of killing his estranged wife. The 25-year-old is charged with the murder of Julie Ann Gonzalez who has been missing since March 2010. Austin police haven’t said what evidence they have linking De La Cruz to Gonzalez’s death. Her body hasn’t been found. “I don’t believe it. I’ve known him since he was this big so I don’t believe it,” said Jesse Corpus. Joe Cruz lives across the street from the De La Cruz family.
He never saw the young couple fight and doesn’t believe De La Cruz is a killer. “It was kind of a shock because I’ve known him since he was a kid,” said Cruz. De La Cruz has been the only person of interest since his wife’s car was found abandoned in a Walgreens parking lot more than three-years ago. He went on the Dr. Phil Show to plead his innocence. He took a polygraph test which he failed. KEYE TV stopped by De La Cruz’s home to try and talk to his mother about her son’s arrest, but no one answered. Gonzalez’s mother tells KEYE she doesn’t know what to make of the arrest. The family is expected to hold a news conference sometime on Saturday.
