An Aurora man is being charged with first-degree murder for the death of an 18-year-old Aurora woman whose body was found burned beyond recognition Saturday morning in Montgomery, according to the Aurora Beacon.
Juan Garnica Jr., 18, of the 400 block of East Ashland Avenue, was charged Sunday with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of arson in the death of 18-year-old Abigail Villalpando, according to the Aurora Beacon.
Two other men, Jose Becerra, 20, from Oswego and Enrique Prado, 19, from Aurora, are being charged for concealing the murder, Aurora Police told the Beacon.
Garnica reportedly attacked Villalpando with a hammer while she was visiting Prado’s house and hid her body in the garage, according to Aurora Police. Later, Garnica burned Villalpando’s body in the backyard and then moved the body to a wooded area near Fifth Street and Waubansia Avenue in Montgomery where a Kane County Sheriff K-9 Unit discovered the body.

Another one killed with a Hammer
We must stop this
We need more laws We need to know who owns all hammers
We must register hammers and all hammer owners
If it saves ONE life it's worth it
Next we have to do somthing about fire
It also kills We must regulate fire and anything that makes fire
Matches,lighters,grills anything and everything that can make a fire should be registered.
If it saves ONE life
It's worth it

While I understand Skully's point and agree with his angst at government's illogical thinking, this is the WRONG forum for his lament at this time. A young lady has been savagely slaughtered and this page should hold thoughts on this young girl, her life of value, and the community's sadness at this inhumane act. Politics can wait...

Good point Skully but you should be ashamed of yourself for it posting it on this forum. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

To Deirdre and Jill
Yes it's sad when anyone gets killed Have you read the article in the Beacon? Some unanswered questions. Why did she go to Prado's house and not work? Any drugs involved in this? Does anyone have Police records?
If I went to Chicago or anywhere to buy drugs and got killed whose fault would it be?? Mine and only mine I took the chance
I have seen A LOT of death in my time on this earth. Some accidents some people are just to stupid to avoid it.
If a gun was involved in this, the comment section would be FULL of people wanting to ban them Thats why my first post was the way it was.

"Skully" is a moron. Obviously (s)he was raised by wild pigs or something, since (s)he has no sense of propriety or decency, and needs to stay off the internet without parental supervision.
How DARE you try to blame the victim here, "Skully"! You're talking out of your backside, and have NO idea what you're saying! Instead, all you're doing is defaming a good person and spitting on her grave. If you have nothing nice to say, then shut up!
The story was more accurately and journalistically covered by CLTV News. Friends of the victim interviewed there made it clear that the victim was a good student who wanted to be a police officer-- one of the "good kids". The killer was her EX-boyfriend, and the other two were mutual friends of the killer & victim. The killer was jealous because she had broken up with him some time before -- but I guess in "Skully"s mind, that would make it the victim's fault, too.
Skully: Please DO go to Chicago and get some drugs, as you say. Usually I tell people they're bad for your brain, but at this point, they can only help yours.

My heart hurts...We really need to fill our children's hearts with love. Also, teach our children to love, respect all other human beings. These kind of things should not be happening. May God give Abigail's family the strength to overcome the pain of their loss. ='(

@ Auroran Agian WHY did she go to the house. Name calling Thats so nice of you. I asked questions.

Again, BLAMING THE VICTIM, Skully! It doesn't MATTER why she went there! The house was the home of mutual friends of both her and the killer, as I said. She had just as much right to go there as anyone has to go to a friend's house. My teen daughter goes to other kids' houses all the time. What NONSENSE are you actually trying to peddle here, anyway? She wasn't going to have an orgy, or do drugs, or anything like that. So what right did ANYone have to kill her? What right did ANYone have to bludgeon her to death with a hammer? Answer: NONE. So your question is not only irrelevant, but insulting to her memory. Don't you understand that basic standard of decency and respect for the dead? ... No? ... Then I'm not insulting you by calling you a moron, I'm being generous to your actual IQ.

Auroran I am pretty sure the prosicution will ask the defendents WHY she came to the house. Will the defence say thats irrevelent. Yes you are correct she had a right to go anywhere
I did not blame the victim
I also did not say anyone has a right to kill anyone.
Now if you read more on the story maybe you should contact the judge in the case for the low bail amounts. From the beacon news Becerra was given a 100K bail can be out with 10K He was born in Mexico and prosecution considers him a flight risk. Thats what I read just a bit ago.
The rants agianst me are baised on emotiom IMOP that's OK with me.
Humans are supposed to be smart,not let themselves get in situations that get them killed. I am hopefull you don't let your daughter go to anyones house of people you don't know in this day & age.

Skully, you said you did not blame the victim, but that statement is completely contradictory to your other statements...."Without a victim putting themselves in danger you would have less crime" (very poor use of the English language by the way) and "humans are supposed to be smart, not let themselves get in situations that get them killed." The victim's family and friends are obviously reading these posts, and you are being completely offensive and downright unintelligent in your arguments. What a sad excuse for a human being you are. Why would you assume drugs were involved? Why would you assume she was skipping work to be there? Why would you assume she had any reason to believe she wouldn't be safe when she went there? And WHY are you searching for so many excuses to blame the victim when it is clear who is actually to blame? You are not owed any explanations so stop dragging an amazing person's name through the mud just because you are trying to be edgy, relevant, and clever. Trust me, you are none of the above. Please, for her loved ones' sake, and for the sakes of anyone with a brain, just stop. You don't know what you are talking about.
