BREAKING: A Pima County judge declared a mistrial Friday afternoon in the trial of Christopher Clements, 41, on charges of kidnapping and murder in the 2012 death.
Caitlin Schmidt , Jamie Donnelly A judge declared a mistrial Friday afternoon as a Pima County jury said it could not reach a verdict in the trial of Christopher M. Clements, 41, on charges of kidnapping and murder in the 2012 death of 6-year-old Isabel Celis.
Clements was already convicted last year by a separate jury in the 2014 killing of 13-year-old Maribel Gonzalez. Both cases went unsolved until 2018 when officials announced Clements’ arrest in connection with the deaths of both Tucson girls. Law enforcement officers testified that Clements' electronic devices included a password-protected folder that contained more than 1,300 images of women or girls, many of them wearing little clothing. Some of the images were taken in Tucson and police were able to identify several of the girls. The parents of three testified for the state, saying they didn't know the photos had been taken and had never met Clements.
Clements' phone records show he returned to pick the friend up at around 6 a.m. At 9:20 a.m., when Clements' had told police he was sleeping, the phone connected to a cell tower in the area of Interstate 10 and Twin Peaks Road. By 10:13 a.m., Clements’ phone was pinging off cell towers in the Avra Valley area that covered the location where Isabel’s body was eventually found.
He told the jury he was calm on the phone because, “This is the most important phone call of my life and I need to get the best information out so this can get started.”
