Mesa Police Department - Media Release
Joint effort leads to arrest of homicide suspect
On June 9, 2008 at 10:30 p.m., the Mesa Police
Department received a call from a person stating
they located their deceased friend inside his east
Mesa residence at 11428 E. Queensborough Avenue.
Inside the residence, officers located a deceased
male with signs of trauma. The victim was later
identified as 30-year-old Travis Alexander of Mesa.
While awaiting the Maricopa County Office of the
Medical Examiner's official determination that this
was a homicide, detectives continued their
investigation. This led to the July 15, 2008 arrest
of 28-year-old Jodi Arias in Yreka, California by
Mesa Police Homicide detectives and the Siskiyou
County Sheriff's Office on a first degree murder
warrant. The investigation has revealed that Jodi
Arias and Travis Alexander were involved in a prior
relationship.
Mesa Police Detectives and Siskiyou County
Sheriff's deputies conducted multiple search
warrants in Yreka, California. Jodi Areas was booked
into Siskiyou County jail and is awaiting
extradition proceedings.
This investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with
information related to the death of Travis Alexander
is asked to contact the Mesa Police Department at
(480) 644-2211.
