Peoria resident Erik Islas was charged with first-degree murder after police accused him of stabbing his girlfriend 26 times and fleeing to Mexico. Islas confessed to the crime.
According to court documents obtained by FOX 10 Phoenix, the investigation began when Hawking's landlord told police that she hadn't seen her tenant in several days. When the woman called Hawking's phone, a man picked up and said he found her phone at a Phoenix intersection.
When police entered Hawking's casita on September 5, they found blood on the ground and a blood-soaked knife in the trash. The home was "in disarray with clear signs of a struggle, broken furniture and damaged items," according to court documents.
