Illegal alien Manuel Salmeron Manzanares has been living in this country off and on for at least 18 years since he was ‘allegedly’ involved in the killing Linda Louise Archer, a homeless woman in Santa Barbara, California. The original arrested in this 1997 murder was of some white American, which turned out to be bogus. Now, 18 years later, through DNA tests, illegal alien Manuel Salmeron Manzanares is the prime suspect. Not a peep from the national media about this either. In fact, there hasn’t even been one mention of Manuel Salmeron Manzanares in the Los Angeles media. Just one station in Santa Barbara reported on this illegal alien murdering an American.

Manuel Salmeron Manzanares was deported once for being a convicted felon. He was scheduled to be released and deported back to Mexico on June 12, 2015.
43-year-old Linda Louise Archer was attacked and beaten to death at her campsite located near the southbound U.S. 101 off ramp at Castillo Street. The following day, Gregory Gavin, a mentally ill transient, was initially arrested for the crime.
Investigators said Gavin had been at the crime scene and was in possession of property belonging to the victim, but was released after further investigation cleared him of the crime. Another suspect, John Dalton, was taken in by police in 2000 after allegedly confessing to the murder to a fellow inmate, but DNA evidence recovered from the crime scene did not match Dalton and the case against him was dismissed.
Nearly 20 years later, DNA evidence re-submitted by the Santa Barbara Police Department’s Major Investigation Team, identified Manzanares as the prime suspect in the murder.
