This story is disturbing on several levels. While not suggesting that the suspect typifies Latin Americans, it does make a case for a carefully controlled border policy - knowing who comes in the country and denying entry to dirt bags.

While his employer may not have seen anything wrong with the guy, maybe someone familiar with the culture could have picked him out as an oddball or potential trouble.

Obviously neither the employer nor the temp agency he was hired through used E-verify or checked his background, something difficult to do with unfamiliar languages and unfamiliar cultures.

The further travesty is that when the girl sought help from several residences, the door wasn't open to her. Reading further articles, it seems that this was due to suspicion that it may have been a ruse for a home invasion crime.

Guzman's truck was registered to him with common Anglo name in America (Guzman is a German surname common in Latin America, Wilson is not). While names don't indicate race or nationality, it would raise questions to most people. It would seem to me to be a conscious effort to disassociate his probable physical appearance and probably obvious foreign national origins with an name on paper, a bizarre and disingenuous attempt to blend into the background if one has something to hide from. However with the confusion I have with the various ways people can be named in the larger Hispanic world outside of America past and present with hyphens, "Y", and sometimes "de" between the last names or several last names strung together (with maybe a couple extra first names, or an additional first name of opposite gender), Wilson or either of the other two surnames may or may not be his mother's maiden or father's last name. Then, the whole thing could be an alias - Just really who is this guy beyond DNA and fingerprints?

Police are investigating the man arrested in the kidnapping and assault of a 9-year-old Riverside girl in connection with several unsolved local crimes such as Peeping Tom cases, Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz said Wednesday.

Jose Wilson Rojas Guzman, 30, of Riverside, was arrested Monday on suspicion of attempted murder, kidnapping with injury and aggravated child sexual assault. He remains jailed with bail set at $1 million, and he is being kept on an immigration hold...


...The Riverside girl was sleeping at home May 7 when she was kidnapped, sexually and physically assaulted and then dumped from a black truck near Challen Park in Riverside, police have said. Guzman had previously rented a room in the apartment where the girl lived...

...Guzman, who is in the country illegally, rented a room from the kidnapped girl's mother for about two months and moved out at the end of February, police have said. ...

...For the past five months Guzman had been working as a machine operator at American National Manufacturing, a maker of specialty mattresses and medical beds in Corona, company President Craig Miller said.

Guzman was "a quiet guy who followed directions" and never caused any problems, Miller said...

...Guzman got the job through a Corona temp agency called Teamquest Staffing Services, Miller said. Someone who answered the phone at Teamquest on Wednesday declined to comment...

...The case has captured public attention for several reasons. After the girl was dumped from the truck, she knocked on several doors, clearly in distress, but no one would let her in.

Also, Riverside officers happened to be eating in a restaurant on Tyler Street on May 9 when they spotted Guzman's truck. They identified it with a license plate number they'd mined from scant details, such as the name Wilson, which Guzman used when renting the room from the girl's mother, Chief Diaz said...
