Botello was visiting a friend in Dallas and went out alone the night of Oct. 4, 2020. She was last seen alive early the next morning in Deep Ellum, where security footage showed her leaving a bar with Beltran.. She missed her flight home to Seattle, and there was no activity on her cellphone, bank account or social media accounts.
Beltran said he then pushed Dykes, knocking her and Botello to the floor before Marano came into the room and shoved him out of the way, according to the affidavit. Beltran left the room, got dressed and fled, the affidavit says. Botello’s body was found March 24 in a wooded area near East Belt Line and Post Oak roads in Wilmer. When authorities searched the Mesquite home, they found blood-stained carpet that matched Botello’s DNA, the affidavit says.
