Murder suspect Ernesto Reyes
CARROLLTON — On May 21, murder suspect Ernesto Reyes was extradited back to the United States to face homicide charges for the Sept. 25, 2007 slaying of Melanie Goodwin, a 19-year-old college student.
Ms. Goodwin’s burned body was found the morning of Sept. 25, 2007 in the 3200 Blk of Keller Springs Rd. Police investigators identified Mr. Reyes as a suspect in the homicide and began a nationwide manhunt.
On Oct. 9, 2007 Mr. Reyes was taken into custody by United States Marshal Deputies and Mexican Law Enforcement Authorities as he left a house in Celaya Guanajuato, Mexico.
The extradition process came to a close today after Mr. Reyes was handed over to United States Marshal Service Deputies by Mexican Authorities and he was flown back to the United States. Mr. Reyes was turned over to Carrollton Police Department Investigators upon arrival in the United States. Mr. Reyes was transported directly to the Dallas County Jail by Carrollton Police Investigators where he was processed into the detention facility on the charge of Capital Murder.
The hard work and support of the United States Marshals Office Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force was instrumental in locating and safely taking Mr. Reyes into custody. The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, State Department, and U.S. Marshals office were instrumental in working with Mexican authorities to complete the extradition process and return Mr. Reyes safely to U.S. soil.

So this dude's been sitting in a Mexican jail for 7 months waiting to be extradited so he can be sentenced? Betting Reyes gets the needle if everything Young told the cops is true.

All I can say is it's 7 months too long!!! Why should he get 7 months (and more)??? Melanie didn't!
I pray the trial is speedy and will give those of us that loved her (her family and friends) closure and peace finally.
It's been horrible for her family and the trial will be even more difficult, but all of us that love Melanie (and her family) will be there to support them.
In the end God will judge him and that's the important thing to remember. But for now, he'll be forced to sit in jail everyday for the rest of his life and I'm sure his "roommates" won't allow him to forget what he's done. He may even get to taste a bit of his own medicine. And he's not going to enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My thoughts and prayers go to Melanie's family. May you have strength to get through this period. Remember your friends are here for you and we love you!

I'm sure those 7 months in a Mexican detention facility were like a fun Cancun vacation for him.
