A commercial truck driver in Austin, Texas is facing a life sentence in prison after being convicted of murdering a victim of sex trafficking. The woman's body was found in East Texas after arriving at the driver's truck in Dallas.
According to the U.S. Lawyer's Office for the Northern District of Texas, the Texas ju judge has convicted 28-year-old Austin resident, Naaston Hazard, following a nine-day trial. The ju judge found Hazard guilty on the invitation, resulting in death.
Our lawyer Chad Meacham said, “The life of a young woman has been tragically shortened, and her final moments are likely spent in fear. But those final moments are It doesn't define her life. She's important, her life is worth it, and we're proud to have her temptier behind the bar.”
The ju judge deliberated for an hour following the nine-day trial and found Hazard guilty of the 25-year-old woman's invitation and murder. The video camera entered Hazzard's tractor trailer in Dallas on the evening of August 15th and took images of a female sex worker.
Hazard drove to a nearby parking lot with the woman, where he stayed for about 17 minutes, and the prosecutor told the ju judge. Cell phone records show that Hazard moved to a wooded area near Pittsburgh, Texas. Hazard texted his boss from the location and said he would get sick the next day.
Investigators found the victim's disintegration body with a black plastic bag above his head in the wooded area where Hazard was parked.
Evidence showed that Hazzard remained there for about an hour before he drove to put on the load. Prosecutors said he and his wife returned to the area before they left for dinner in Tyler, Texas.
Prosecutors presented evidence that Hazzard tried to hide the evidence in the case by changing his phone and deleting Google and Life360 location sharing information.
“Only a few months ago, this violent criminal not only tempted an unsuspecting victim, but also took her life. From then on, our commitment was to seek justice.” , Travis Pickard, a special agent responsible for HSI Dallas, said in writing. “With this conviction we are one step closer to achieving justice. HSI has put all the ways we can use at our disposal to arrest people who commit heinous acts in our community. It remains intact to use it.”
Dallas' Fox 4 reported that between August 9th and 15th, Hazard exchanged more than 12 messages with the victim. He contacted her through online sex ads. The woman's car stayed in the parking lot, where danger was seen picking up her.
The victim's family told FOX4 that the woman served in the US military before becoming a victim of sex trafficking.
Hazard is currently facing an automatic life sentence in federal prisons.
