Espanola, NM - Deputies with the United
States Marshal Service and Task Force Officers with the Santa Fe Police
Department arrested Joel Rollins (48) in Espanola, NM. Rollins was wanted by
the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Department for allegedly Murdering Elvis Delaney
III in October 2007 and then burying Delaney’s body on his property in Sandoval
County.
On May 22, 2012 the arrest warrant for
Rollins was signed and information was received by the United States Marshals
Service that Rollins was potentially in the Espanola, NM area. Investigators
from the New Mexico State Police, Sandoval County Sheriff’s office, Santa Fe
Police Department and the United States Marshals Service quickly responded and
sent Southwest Fugitive Team (SWIFT) Task Force Deputies and Task Force
Officers (TFO’s) to Espanola to investigate Rollins’ whereabouts. Rollins was
located at his place of employment on May 23, 2012 by Marshals Service Deputies
and TFO’s where he was arrested. Rollins was turned over to the Sandoval County
Sheriff’s Department so they could continue their investigation.
United States Marshal Conrad E.
Candelaria said “justice is one step closer to prevailing, due to the
unyielding and tireless efforts of many law enforcement agencies, partnering
with the Marshals Service from state, local and county agencies, this fugitive
will now answer to the horrible and unconscionable crime committed”.

i want to know why a man would kill someone and then bury him on his own property? i mean if that is the case really that is stupid ,but what if the body was already there? did this man own the property at the time ?and whoever was the informant on this case should be an accessory if not arrested for murder since he or she witnessed or helped or did it and are blaming the man in custody for it!i mean since 2007 this person has been missing and this informant knew the whole time? why now did he or she say something ?i dont know , but i live out here in the area and these people could be my neighbors or something .how scary to think i could be living on top of bones! well i'm sorry this is just unbelievable!
