Texas man indicted in death of New Mexico teenager last year

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A Texas man has been indicted in the death of a New Mexico teenager last year. Prosecutors say a Santa Fe County grand jury Tuesday indicted 20-year-old Jordan Anthony Nunez on abuse of a child resulting in death, tampering with evidence and conspiracy and obstructing the reporting or investigation of child abuse or neglect. It's unclear if Nunez, of Hereford, has a lawyer yet. Authorities say the body of 13-year-old Jeremiah Valencia was found buried off a rural highway in New Mexico last November and the boy had endured years of abuse that included being locked for hours inside a dog kennel. Nunez's father also has been arrested in connection with the boy's death. Authorities say he was dating Valencia's mother, who also has been charged in the case.
