**Two Prime Wheel Employees Charged in the Disappearance of Servando Salazar**
In a recent court decision, Judge Fernando Acevedo has officially charged Moisés “N” and José Alfredo “N,” employees of the company Prime Wheel, in connection with the disappearance of their co-worker, Servando Salazar Cano. The prosecution presented compelling evidence, including blood samples belonging to Salazar, which were found on a mop in one of the facility’s bathrooms through luminol tests.
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of involvement from higher-ranking officials within the company. Reports indicate that the accused provided false statements during the investigation, claiming they were at a local restaurant, Mister Pollos, during the lunch break on the day Salazar went missing, August 23. Surveillance footage, however, did not support their alibi. Instead, investigators found video evidence of their presence at Santa Anita shopping center at 1:37 PM, just minutes before Salazar’s phone was discovered by a woman named Ruth in a nearby parking lot.
Witnesses reported seeing Salazar with his phone near the office of José Alfredo “N”, in a hallway that also leads to the bathrooms and the exit of Plant 1. On the day of the disappearance, workers attended a maintenance training session led by Salazar and had a lunch break from 1:15 PM to 2:15 PM. This was the last confirmed sighting of Salazar.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that the factory had been under investigation for theft involving money and materials. Key items belonging to Salazar, including his backpack and his Ford 150 truck, were found on the company premises.
The prosecution has requested additional time to continue the investigation, stating that they need six more months to locate Salazar. The judge granted this extension. The case also includes evidence suggesting the involvement of higher-ranking officials in the disappearance.
The defense argued against the charges, stating that the evidence was circumstantial and based primarily on worker testimonies. They pointed out that no surveillance footage showed their clients discarding the phone, and many Prime Wheel employees visit the shopping center during lunch breaks.
Judge Fernando Acevedo ultimately ruled to proceed with the charges of disappearance against the two employees, and both will remain in preventive detention.
