PLANO (CBS 11 NEWS) – Recently released arrest documents for Enrique Arochi depict the accused kidnapper as a sexually frustrated young man, with a propensity for lying to police.
Arochi, is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Christina Morris. She is the Fort Worth woman who went missing after a night out with friends at The Shops at Legacy in Plano.
Arochi is currently charged with Aggravated Kidnapping and is being held in a Collin County jail on $1 million bond.
Arochi was the person last seen with Morris in surveillance video. The two were leaving the parking garage at The Shops at Legacy in the early hours of August 30, 2014.
The 24-year-old had gone public and even told CBS 11 on camera that he had nothing to do with Morris' disappearance, however his arrest affidavit says otherwise.
The document said, in part:
"Arochi left the Shops at Legacy area and returned to his residence …in Allen, TX with Christina Morris in the trunk of his 2010 Chevrolet Camaro contrary to his statements that Morris was never in his vehicle."
Morris' mother, Jonni McElroy, spoke publicly following the release of the affidavit. She said she was "torn up" over the details revealed. "When you read that your daughter was in the trunk of this car, it's unspeakable…it's unspeakable."
The affidavit went on to describe Arochi as a sexual frustrated man who targeted Morris after a previous sexual advance on another woman that night was rebuffed. The documents also said he repeatedly lied to police about his involvement in the disappearance.
Perhaps the most conclusive evidence police found was a DNA match between samples taken from Arochi's car and a DNA profile for Christina Morris.
The affidavit read:
"Due to the amount of Christina Morris DNA found to be present in the interior trunk area of Arochi's vehicle, affiant believes this DNA was from Christina Morris bodily fluids such as blood or saliva."
According to detectives, empty bottles of chemical cleaners found in Arochi's home trash cans and other evidence inside his car leads officials to belief he unsuccessfully tried to wipe away DNA evidence.
McElroy said, "I want answers, and I think he needs to give us those answers."
Arochi's lawyer, Keith Gore released the following statement:
"My initial reaction to the affidavit for Enrique's arrest is that it appears based largely upon conjecture and speculation, and leaves many questions unanswered. The arrest affidavit confirms that further investigation is required. We are encouraged that the police continue to investigate. In the coming weeks, I expect the court will hold a hearing on the issue of Enrique's bond. Between now and that hearing, we will continue investigating the allegations against Enrique, and we will also continue cooperating with the police."
