Detectives say Salgado and "M-D" admitted to the crime and told investigators how they did it.

In court documents, it becomes clear Alexander Salgado has a romantic relationship with his 15-year-old female co-conspirator, identified as "M-D".

Jasmine Guevara's murder is apparently the result of teen-aged jealousy.

All three attended a party this last sunday and in court documents, detectives say "according to witnesses, m-d became jealous because of a suspect relationship developing between jasmine and salgado."

As part of the search for clues, investigators stumbled upon a text message sent by Jasmine Guevara on Tuesday, indicating she was at the Wal-Mart in Mitchell.

Surveillance video from that night shows Guevara was there with Salgado and M-D.

A check of Wal-Mart records shows one of the items purchased was lighter fluid.

Police interviewed Salgado and M-D, who acknowledged going to Wal-Mart with guevara and buying lighter fluid.

That's not all they acknowledged.

Again, from court documents:

"Alexander Salgado and M-D admitted to investigators that they killed Jasmine Guevara by stabbing and cutting her throat, and then setting the vehicle on fire with lighter fluid that had been purchased at Wal-Mart earlier that night".

Both identify an area in northern rural Hanson County, where a car was found on fire late Tuesday night, as the location of Guevara's murder.

Both told police they had talked about killing her in advance...because M-D was jealous of her.

When Jasmine first disappeared, the silent fear was that she had been murdered. Violent crime like this is just so rare for the Mitchell area.

We talked with one Mitchell resident named Teresa Geroy who told us this; "I would just hate to be that girl's parents. That would have to be the worst thing is to lose a child."

A preliminary hearing has been set for Salgado on November 25th.
