Police believe an altercation with a gardener in March 2000 led to her murder.

They also believe her killer is a mysterious man who’s been sitting in a Lower Mainland jail for two years.

U.S. authorities issued an arrest warrant for the gardener, known in Texas as Antonio Diaz Lisenber, in June 2000, three months after Moke’s body was found in a terrible state of decomposition, her skin green and crawling with maggots.

But the man, who is known in Canada as Edwin Yobani Zarabia, denies he was ever in Texas, even though his fingerprints identify him as a man convicted of trespassing in San Antonio in December 1999. At the time, he was deported to Mexico.
