Body of Rev. Jesse Euresti Found in Nuevo Laredo

Rev. Jesse Euresti, the Austin priest who had gone to Mexico to work on his retirement home there, had been missing since last week; a friend had stopped by his Nuevo Laredo house and found blood in the garage and no sign of Euresti. Bishop Gregory Aymond announced today that Euresti's body was found on the side of a highway yesterday near Nuevo Laredo, near a mattress that had been missing from his house. Euresti was the priest at Cristo Rey Catholic Church and was set to retire this summer from his work there. Mexican authorities believe that a caretaker at Euresti's retirement home is responsible for the crime. The Statesman currently has audio of Bishop Aymond's announcement on their main page.
