One of the six people charged in a Utah woman’s kidnapping and murder has pleaded guilty, even going so far as to implicate one of his co-defendants in the slaying. Orlando Esiesa Tobar, 29, admitted to helping kill Conzuelo “Nicole” Solorio-Romero, 25, in February 2021, according to Salt Lake City NBC affiliate KSL-TV.

As previously reported, the victim had been abducted and forced into a vehicle by two armed men.

Tobar’s attorney, Neal Hamilton, reportedly said it was his client with Solorio-Romero getting into a car. Jorge Rafael Medina-Reyes, 21, was allegedly in the driver’s seat.

“Witnesses reported seeing Mr. Tobar escorting Ms. Romero into the residence at knifepoint, followed by Medina-Reyes and Vela,” Hamilton said. “Waiting inside the residence were Carolina Marquez, Fernando Marquez, and Ivan Acosta.”
