Man walks into police station, confesses to killing girlfriend — then tells police where her body is located

Police in Hartford, Connecticut, were shocked when a man entered the police station on Sunday, admitted to killing his girlfriend — and then told them her dead body was outside in his car.

Pedro Grajalez, 52, walked into the Hartford Police Department just after 3:20 p.m. on Sunday. He told officers at the front desk that he had just murdered his girlfriend — 57-year-old Nilda Rivera — and that her body was inside his vehicle parked outside the station. He also showed officers pictures of her dead body.

Officers quickly arrested Grajalez and rushed to his car, where they found Rivera with more than two dozen stab wounds across her body. They also located the murder weapon inside the car.

Police attempted life-saving measures and rushed her to a nearby hospital, but she was pronounced dead.

In an interview with police, Grajalez confessed to killing Rivera because she had allegedly engaged in an affair. He said he planned the murder for several days, documents about the arrest say, WVIT-TV reported.

After eating at a McDonalds with Rivera, Grajalez said he drove to a secluded area and began stabbing her. He said he waited until she died before driving to the police station. He even claimed to have sent photos of Rivera's stabbed and lifeless body to the man with whom she had allegedly been having an affair.

Grajalez has been charged with one count of murder. He remains in jail on $3 million bail.

Anything else?

Yaitza Casanova, one of Rivera's daughters, told WTIC-TV that he hoped Grajalez faces the same fate as her mother.

"I hope that they do to him what he did to my mother and he suffers slowly," Casanova said.

Rivera's family said that Grajalez had pledged he would never hurt Nilda, but described him as a "very jealous" and controlling person who would "look in her phone and delete stuff and go on her social media and delete people."

Rivera's other daughter, Daniella Valle, said, "My mom was just looking for love. ... She was a mother. She was a grandmother. She was a friend."
