 Pinedo took the arrest order to Garayo's home, where Garayo's wife said that he had left after the incident with the old woman and she had not seen him since (in reality, she had seen him briefly when he came to change clothes on September 9), that she didn't know of his current whereabouts or the reason he had hurt the other woman.Garayo was at this time serving in the house of a farmer in Alegría, where news of the last crimes arrived shortly after Garayo did so himself.The farmer's daughter, a young child, reportedly told her father that the new servant was "so ugly", he "looked like the "Sacamantecas"".
