TUCSON, Ariz. — The fate of Christopher Clements, 41, will soon be left to the jury. He's facing multiple charges, most notably first-degree murder and kidnapping.
Prosecutor Tracy Miller showed the jury a photo during her closing statement: Isabel Celis, 6 years old, missing. She also talked about evidence of Clements' internet searches for information on things like trace evidence on bodies, 'body found in desert,' and the search phrase 'Isabel Celis Sexy.' They were advised that Clements possibly had information relating to the disappearance of Isabel Celis. The FBI immediately contacted the Tucson Police Department and assisted with the follow-up of that information.
He continued to point suspicion at Sergio Celis, the girl’s father, for seeming far too calm as he called 911. Kessler floated the idea that the family was having financial problems, and that Sergio Celis could have opened the locked gate surrounding the house and delivered Isabel Celis to someone else.
