On June 5, 2011, the body of Maria Esther Orozco was found in a garbage bag in a residential area of Sunnyvale. The suspect in the murder is said to have confessed to murdering Orozco, putting her into the garbage bag and leaving her on Ticonderoga Dr. Just the day before Orozco received 22 phone calls from the now suspect. His name is Feliciano Valencia-Santiago and is rumored to have had some form of relationship with Orozco.

The Mercury has reported that more phone calls were made from Valencia-Santiago's phone between May 2 and June 2 of this year.

Valencia-Santiago's next court date is June 27, 2011. It is unclear if Valencia-Santiago has retained counsel or if the Public Defender will be appointed. He is being charged with one count of murder and may be facing other charges.
