Gregorio M. Morales was arrested in New Mexico in July and transported to the Brown County jail in August when he had his first court appearance on Aug. 31 and was reportedly assigned bail at $500,000. On Tuesday, Morales appeared in court through closed circuit television showing him in a room at the Brown County jail. A preliminary examination for Morales will take place Oct. 4. Authorities are still looking for Juan Roberto Nieto, another suspect in the case. Authorities have allegedly linked Nieto to a similar crime in Las Cruces, N.M. Nieto and Morales are confronting charges of kidnapping, second-degree sexual assault and attempted first-degree intentional homicide. The case is expected to appear on the national television program, "America's Most Wanted," in October.
