Legal document please do not destroy! MONDAY NOVEMBER II 2024 I MIAMI HERALD I 5A FROM PAGE 1A MISSING WIFE for trial in February but is likely to be postponed, court records show. U.S. District Judge Kath- leen Williams has tried to prod the prosecutors to make up their minds about pursuing capital case, ordering them in October to "advise" the defendant and his attorneys of their plan to seek the death penalty— or not. If prosecutors do, they would have to return to the federal grand jury In Mia- mi ask the secret panel to add the charge of kid- napping resulting in death to an indictment. The panel might add other charges. Ultimately, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami would need the final approval of the Justice Department to add the death penalty to the case. The U.S. Attomey's Office declined on Thurs- day to comment on its next move, which Is likely to come this month. At an Oct. 22 court hear- ing, prosecutor Jessica Obenauf told the judge that the U.S. Attomey's Office in Miami has been in discussions with the Justice Department in Washington, regarding bringing a potential death penalty case. "They are aware and we are in constant contact with them," Obenauf told Williams. Knezevich's main de- fense attorney, Jayne Weintraub, who has chal- lenged prosecutors to pro- duce evidence of an al- leged murder, zeroed in on that issue at last month's hearing. "We are all kind of pussyfooting around this word that l know the Coot is well aware of, and that word would he proto- col," Weintraub said, re- ferring to the process of hiring a "learned counsel" who specializes in death penalty law to assist in Knezevich's defense if he's charged with killing his wife. "I'm sitting here just hying to wrap my mind around what is happening here," said Weintraub, adding that prosecutors filed the original kidnap- ping charge as "a book- mark or a placeholder." The issue of additionally charging Knezevich with both kidnapping and kill- ing his wife runs parallel to another high -profile case in Miami: a Colomban man was arrested last month on the charge of kidnapping his former mistress and her 9-year- old daughter, resulting in their deaths eight years ago. Knezevich's case is strik- ingly different because the alleged crime involved his traveling from Miami to Serbia before prosecutors and FBI agents say he kidnapped his wife in Spain. leading to her disap- pearance in early February. 'CUNNING LEVEL OF DECEPTION' In two consecutive de- tention herrings, a magist- rate judge in Miami or- dered that Knezevich re- main in jail because he considered him a "serious flight risk." After the second hear- ing, Magistrate Judge Ed- win Torres concluded "there is ample evidence" to support the kidnapping case against Knezevich, whose lawyers had asked the judge to reconsider his initial detention order. "Indeed, the evidence produced at the second hearing supports the Court's original finding that [Knezevich) presents a serious risk of flight given the cunning level of decep- tion that he has demon- strated as part of the crime he Is' alleged to have en- gaged in," Torres ruled in a 17-page order in Septem- ber. Torres also rejected the defense's "attack" that prosecutors have no juris- diction to bring the kid- napping charge in Miami because the crime alleged- ly happened in Spain, say- ing their initial evidence supported the case. After his arrest in May, Knezevich faced intense scrutiny during the two detention hearings. An FBI agent dug into a trove of circumstantial evidence suggesting he had the means, opportunity and motive to kidnap his es- tranged wife front her apartment in Madrid. BROWARD REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS Knezevich, who oper- ated a tech business, owned millions of dollars in Broward County resi- dential real estate with his wife, a native of Colombia. They were fighting over these and other assets when she left for Spain in late December of 2023. He's accused of leaving Miami the following month with a plan to track her down. She was report- ed missing by authorities on Feb. 2.

CGC#048630 husband carried her body in a suitcase out of her Madrid apartment building that evening, citing securi- ty -camera footage of him exiting the elevator. In August, the FBI joined Spanish and Italian author- ities in a search for her corpse in the woods north of the city of Vicenza in Italy, where a GPS alert an the husband's rented Peu- geot 308 suggested he took u detour there on his return trip from Spain to Serbia. NO BLOOD FOUND IN MADRID APARTMENT At the second detention hearing, Knezevich's law- yer, Weintraub, focused on a Spanish police forensic report that found "no traces of blood" in the wife's Madrid apartment, contrary to what they ini- tially claimed Citing no signs ofstruggle, Rnezev- ich's defense team sought his release based on this new piece of evidence. "I agree with you that some of their evidence is challengeable," Torres said at the end of the hearing, pointing out the absence of blood evidence in the wife's Madrid apartment. The judge also said he could not detect a "suit- case," as described by an FBI agent during her testi- mony, in the security cam- era video of Knezevich at the wife's apartment build- ing. The FBI suspects Kne- zevich carried out Ana, a petite woman, in some- thing that looks like a suit- case, according to the agent's testimony. DUCT TAPE, SPRAY PAINT PURCHASES However, the judge cited the strength of another video showing Knezevich purchasing materials such as duct tape and spray paint at a Madrid hardware store that may have been used to keep the front door of the wife's apartment building open during the alleged kidnapping and to coat over the security cam- era In the lobby. 'Doesn't that make then case stronger?' Torres said, referring to the key piece of evidence present- ed by prosecutors. "He was buying those supplies in that hardware store, including the can of spray paint, to make sure the video cameras did not catch him moving her out of the building," Tones said. 'Pones further noted that Knezevich Clew in January from Miami to Turkey then to Serbia, where he has family, and then rented the Peugeot to drive to Spain. The judge noted he drove the rental car for thou- sands of miles from Bel- grade to Madrid and back to Belgrade, keeping the car for 47 days. When he returned it to the rental agency, the windows had been tinted, stickers removed and license plates swapped out.

She believes the city council needs to focus on more in affordable hous- ing. She told the Herald many of her students and their families are moving out Hialeah due to lack of affordable housing. According to the Miami -Dade Affordable Housing Plan, prepared by Florida International University in 2020, more than 12,000 new rental units are needed to meet the cty's housing de- mnd.In January, the city established an Affordable Housing Task Force, and new ordinanc- es are expected soon mandating a percentage of affordable housing in the city. Espinosa is married to Justo Espinosa, Hialeah's Transit Director, which could potentially raise concerns about a conflict of interest. She told the Herald that if appointed as a council member, she would ecuse herself from voting on any mat- ters that directly involve her husband. She said that her decisions would be based on her own independent views. "I will always vete based on what I believe is right," she said.

Montandon has an Associate's in Arts degree in Psychology from Mia- mi Dade College and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Florida International University. Montandon said her background to clinical psychology, along with her experience as educa- tion director for the Cen- ter for Financial Training, nonprofit in partnership with Miami Dade Col- lege, would help her serve effectively as an interim council member and advocate for Hia- leah's residents. • Juan Santana, 41, is an activist who frequently speaks out at council meetings about local developments, rising fees for water and trash serv- ices and other issues affecting long-time resi- dents. Santana is a farmer three -time mayoral can- didate and a former can- didate for an interim council seat in 2022 and July 2024. Santana prom- ises to foster greater government transpar- ency, provide affordable housing for workers, and reduce trash collection fees and water bills. Santana holds a high school diploma and pur- sued political science in college, though he did not complete his degree. He is currently the vice president of Positive Hits Community Service Group South, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people in need in Hialeah. • Lawrence Jay Arther, 58, a military veteran, attended the special meeting on Nov. 4, when the council discussed the process to fill the vacant seat. During the meeting, he announced his in- tention to apply for the position. Archer urged the "sncil and mayor to top harming people, especially veterans, with fines." Hialeah records shows that Arther resides in a property that accu- mulated fines in 2023 for code compliance vio- lations. "I'm asking you to stop harming people with fines and other measures you have in place. I'm asking you to find in your heart alternative ways... and please consider me for the city council," Arther said. In his letter of intent, Arther said he was apply- ing because he has "the interest of the communi- ty not my own agenda — working for the better- ment of the community, disabled veterans, and all those who feel they don't have a voice." However, his application lacks a resume and details about his military service. Espinosa and Montan- don, the two female can- didates, have expressed interest in running for the council seat in the 2025 election if appointed to the interim position. However, the council is seeking a "placeholder" to Serve for one year until a decision is made about who will ultimately nun for the seat. Next year, Hialeah will have four of its seven council seats on the bal- lot, along with the may- or's seat. Two of these seats are up for reelec- tion, while the other two would be held by interim council members. One of the interim members, Melinda De La Vega, was appointed on July 16 to fill Pacheco's vacancy.

In Jsnuory, the city established an Affordable Housing Task Force, and new ordinanc- es are expected soon mandating a percentage of affordable housing in the city, Espinosa is married to Justo Espinosa, Hialeah's Transit Director, which could potentially raise concerns about a conflict ofinte e0. She told the Herald that if appointed as a council member, she would recurs herself from voting on any mat- ters that directly involve her husband. She said that her decisions would be based on her own independent views. "I will always vote based on what 1 believe is right," she said. "The fact that the mayor is my hus- band's boss will not influ- encey decisions." mm not doing this as his wife or even as former employee," Espi- a added. "I'm doing this because I am a resi- dent of Hialeah, and I want to make a differ- ence." • Kassandra Montan- don, 29, currently runs several education initia- tives, Including a finan- cial literacy program that helps low- to moderate - income Miami -Dade Public School and Miami Dude College students, including those at the Hialeah campus, explore education and career opportunities. Montandon has an Associate's in Arts degree in Psychology from Mia- mi Dade College and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Florida International University. Montandon said her background in clinical psychology, along with her experience as educa- tion director for the Cen- ter for Financial Training, a nonprofit in partnership with Miami Dade Col- lege, would help her serve effectively as an Interim council member and advocate for Hia- leah's residents. • Juan Santana, 41, is an activist who frequently speaks out at council meetings about local developments, rising fees for water and trash serv- ices and other Issues affecting long-time resi- dents. Santana is a former three -time mayoral can- didate and a former can- didate for an interim council seat In 2022 and July 2024. Santana prom- ises to foster greater government transpar- ency, provide affordable housing for workers, and reduce trash collection fees and water bills. Santana holds a high school diploma' and pur- sued political science in college, though he did not complete his degree. He is currently the vice president of Positive Hits Community Service Group South, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people in need in Hialeah. • Lawrence Jay Arther, 58, a military veteran, attended the special meeting on Nov. 4, when the council discussed the process to fill the vacant seat. During the meeting, he announced his in- tention to apply for the position. Arther urged the council and mayor to "stop harming people, especially veterans, with tines." Hialeah records shows that Arther resides in a property that accu- mulated fines in 2023 for code compliance vio- lations. "I'm asking you to stop harming people with fines and other measures you have in place. I'm asking you to find in your heart alternative ways... and please consider me for the city council," Arther said. In his letter of intent, Arther said he was apply- ing because he has "the interest of the communi- ty not my own agenda — working for the better- ment of the community, disabled veterans, and all those who feel they don't have a voice." However, his application lacks a resume and details about his military service. Espinosa and Montan- don, the two female can- didates, have expressed Interest In running for the council seat in the 2025 election if appointed to the interim position. However, the council is seeking a "placeholder" to serve for one year until a decision is made about who will ultimately run for the scat. Next year, Hialeah will have four of its seven council seats on the bal- lot, along with the may- or's seat. Two of these seats are up for reelec- tion, white the other two would be held by interim council members. One of the interim members, Melinda De La Vega, was appointed on July 16 to fill Pacheco's vacancy.
