Authorities said Ross and Shows had been suspects all along in the slaying of Salcido, who was reported missing in July 1995 and whose remains were found the following April near 110th Street East and Avenue G. The two men were the last ones seen with the victim, but investigators said they did not have enough evidence to arrest the pair until January 2000, when people came forward and said the defendants had bragged to them about the slaying.
