A Florida man has been arrested for killing a woman and allegedly raping her dead body.

According to Okeechobee News, Christopher William Shows was arrested in connection with the murder of Amanda Gayle Suarez. He has been charged with first-degree premeditated murder, desecration of a body, armed burglary of an occupied residence, attempted sexual battery, tampering with evidence and grand theft.

Shows had gone to the home of Mrs. Suarez. The 25-year-old woman had allowed him in because he was dating her cousin. According to reports, the 21-year-old man allegedly made sexual advances towards the married woman. Suarez, repulsed by the move, told the 21-year-old man to leave her home.

Shows had gone to his truck and returned back with a.22 rifle. The Florida man shot the mother-of-four in the back of the head as she tried to escape through the back door. In a report, pieced together by investigators, the blood evidence suggested that Shows dragged Suarez from the hallway back into the kitchen, where he allegedly had sex with her dead body.

According to police sources, the 25-year-old woman’s shirt was pulled up to expose her bra. Her pants and underwear had also been removed. The police release of the sickening crime stated that the 21-year-old man prepped Amanda Suarez’s dead body in a crucifix position before leaving the scene. In an attempt to get rid of evidence, Shows burnt his clothes and took the murdered mother’s cell phone.

Amanda was married to Matthew, a 29-year-old contractor with Century Link. She was a stay-at-home mother, saddled with the task of raising the couple’s four children. The parents had been married for four years. The union blessed with Chandler, 11, Charlie, 9, Hayden, 4, and E.J., 2.

When the tragedy occurred, Matthew was at work and three of their kids in school. The youngest child, E.J. was the only one at home when Shows attacked Amanda Suarez at their N.W. Third Street residence. His grandmother said the little boy was traumatized because he saw and heard everything.

“All the baby will say now is he’s scared. We know he saw. And what he didn’t directly see, he heard.”

The crime came to the fore when Amanda’s sister, Jessica Seger, came to the house and saw her sibling naked and lying in a pool of blood on the floor. She grabbed Suarez’s youngest child, ran to a convenience store and called 911. Unfortunately, before the police could arrive, another child returned home on a school bus and found his mother.

Nine-year-old Charlie managed to call his grandfather’s cell phone in between screams and tears. Charlie was picked up by a relative, a few minutes later. By that time, other relatives had also managed to get to the remaining kids and not allow them come near the house, according to their grandmother.

“Thank the Lord someone had the forethought to call the other school and get Chandler off the school bus…The kids are fairly comatose from the whole thing.”

OCSO Deputy William Jolly was the first officer at the grisly scene. According to him, the family’s pet bull dog was very aggressive towards him and did not allow him into the house. According to WPTV, when the dog was eventually secured by handlers, it gave police their first clue. The suspected killer was someone that the dog knew.

Another crucial clue was Mrs. Suarez’s cell phone. The 25-year-old woman had furtively taken a picture of Shows on her phone while he was seated on the couch a few minutes before he left, only to return and kill her. Even though Shows took the phone and got rid of it, detectives pinged the phone to the area it was disposed and recovered it.

The phone was covered in blood. But more importantly, the police found a picture of the 21-year-old killer in the house, 30 minutes before Amanda Suarez was killed. When Shows was arrested, he revealed “he wanted to know what it felt like.” An officer described the incident as a “horrendous, tragic death, adding that “normal people don’t think like this.”
