Several burglaries have been re ported where thieves break the win dow of a vehicle and methodically remove stereo components, the re port says. In each case the retail value of the stolen components has been esti mated between $2,500 and $6,000. College Station detectives report the thefts occur both during the day and night at various public and pri vate locations. Detectives believe the thieves sell or trade the stolen items in the local area. One such burglary was committed April 2 near the A&M Consolidated High School while classes were in session. In this case, the actor(s) pried out the window of the vehicle on the passenger’s side and removed a radar detector, Alpine equalizer and various amplifiers. This week the College Station Po lice Department and Crime Stoppers need your help in identifying the person(s) responsible for this bur glary. If you have information that could be helpful, call Crime Stop pers at 775-TIPS. When you call, Crime Stoppers will assign you a coded number to protect your iden tity. If your call leads to an arrest and grand jury indictment, Crime Stop pers will pay you up to $1,000 in cash. Crime Stoppers also pays cash for information on any felony crime or the location of a wanted fugitive. C/r/ found strangled Grand Jury indicts parents ODESSA (AP) — The parents of an 8-year-old girl whose body was found in a field have been indicted on charges of abusing her corpse and giving authorities false informa tion in her death. An Ector County grand jury re turned the indictments Monday in the case of Gloria Castillo, who was strangled and her body dumped in an abandoned field last month. The indictments accuse Jose Fran cisco Castillo, who was reported to be the victim’s father, and Ninefa Castillo, the victim’s mother, with abuse of a corpse when they were al leged to have illegally moved the vic tim’s body away from their trailer house in West Odessa. The couple also was charged with making false reports to law investi gators and lying while under oath, a misdemeanor, said Michael Griffin, a prosecutor in the Ector County Criminal District Attorney’s office. Grand jurors also indicted Donald Wayne Bleckler, 31, of Stamford with two counts of aggravated sexual assault against another child. Griffin confirmed that the aggravated sex ual assault victim was another Odessa child, but not the deceased. Gloria Castillo’s mother reported her child missing from her West Odessa home on April 14. The girl’s decomposed body was discovered a week later in a vacant field. An autopsy showed that the girl had been strangled, and authorities said a rope was around the girl’s neck when her body was found. Griffin said Bleckler was a trailer maintenance man at the mobile home park where the Castillos lived. The indictments also charged Bleckler with abuse of a corpse and making a false report. Bleckler remained in Ector County Jail on Tuesday in lieu of a $250,000 bond set by Justice of the Peace R.G. Hungerford. Griffin de clined to elaborate further about the case, but said the investigation is continuing.
