Arizona beheading scares apartment complex neighbors


Norma Alvarado, stands at her doorway on Thursday, Oct. 28, 2010 in Chandler, Ariz. Alvarado, 47, who lives across the courtyard from the apartment where Martin Alejandro Cota-Monroy's stabbed and beheaded body was found is now thinking about moving her and her three children out of the area. Cota-Monroy's body was found Oct. 10 in his Chandler apartment. Only one of four men suspected in his killing and decapitation has been arrested; the manhunt continues for the other three, who police believe fled to Mexico. Cota-Monroy and the four suspects all are from Mexico and were in the U.S. illegally. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)
