SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities continue investigating the murder of a Kansas woman in her home. On Wednesday they identified the victim and her boyfriend suspect.

Just after 10:30p.m. Monday police were dispatched to residence in 2200 Block of North Park Ridge in Wichita in reference to property found by Andover Police that belonged to 42-year-old Perla Rodriguez, according Wichita Lt. Todd Ojile. Officers did not make contact with anyone at her residence and returned to service.

Just after 2a.m. Tuesday, the Olathe Police Department contacted authorities in Wichita in reference to a suspicious character call. Olathe Police had located a vehicle and property belonging to Rodriguez.

Police returned to her residence and found her in the home dead from blunt force trauma, according to Ojile.

Police in Olathe arrested a 37-year-old Travis Becker on charges in Johnson County. On Tuesday, Wichita Police interviewed him. He reportedly had been dating Rodriguez for several months, according to Ojile. Becker is being held on a $250,000 bond for requested charges of first-degree murder, according to the Sedgwick County Jail booking report.
