A tragic missing persons case took a dark turn when a mall clerk’s body was discovered in a river.
Following the recovery of Kira Steger’s body, her husband Jeffery Trevino was charged and found guilty of her murder.
Where is Jeffery Trevino currently?
Currently, Jeffery Trevino is serving his sentence at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Faribault.
He will be eligible for parole by June 26, 2031, as he serves time for the murder of his wife, Kira Steger.
During the trial, Kira’s father, Jay Steger, emotionally expressed, “There’s not enough time in the world that would have been appropriate enough for me.”
Kira’s mother, Marcie, also shared her anguish in court, wondering about the final moments of her daughter’s life.
The trial saw Trevino’s insistence on his innocence, despite being found guilty of second-degree murder for Kira’s death on October 2, 2013. However, he was acquitted of second-degree murder with intent.
Even after being sentenced to 27 and a half years in prison on November 24, 2013, Trevino maintained his innocence, expressing his silence in court.
The Truth Behind Trevino’s Capture
The investigation into Kira’s disappearance uncovered crucial evidence linking Trevino to the crime.
From the victim’s abandoned car at the Mall of America to blood evidence in their home, the pieces pointed to Trevino’s involvement.
It was revealed during the trial that the couple’s argument over a potential divorce turned deadly, resulting in Kira’s tragic death.
While Kira sought separation, Trevino hoped to salvage their marriage, but the disagreement escalated to a fatal confrontation.
