Third suspect held in slaying of woman
A third man has been arrested in the death of a 38-year-old woman whose plastic-wrapped body was found in an orange grove July 17, authorities said Wednesday.
Nikolaus Ryan Meske, 27, was taken into custody as he allegedly tried to smuggle illegal immigrants across the border from Mexico using false identification.
Authorities said there was no connection between the alleged smuggling operation and the disappearance of Sherri Suzanne Moore. Two other suspects in the killing -- Scott Stephen Hussey, 38, and Ernesto Antonio Pena, 30 -- were arrested over the weekend. Anyone with information is asked to call (951) 353-7103 or (951) 353-7137.
