Amancio: Two Faces on a Tombstone
A film by Tom Murray
US, 2009, video, 83 min
Saturday, May 2,2009
4:00PM | Gateway Cinema, MGLFF
March 28, 2009
Yuma, Arizona is a relatively small town with a few notable distinctions. Located on the banks of the Colorado River and bordering both California and Mexico, it is the birthplace of Chicano activist Cesar Chavez and one of the hottest places in the country.
What is an otherwise a quiet desert city was also the site of a devastating murder that destroyed a family, bewildered a community, and ignited one man’s passion to rise and say “Enough is Enough.”
Amancio Corrales was an attractive 23 year-old with a zest for life and a network of loving family and friends. Born in Mexico and raised in the US, Amancio loved the arts, particularly the stage, leading him to launch a career as a female impersonator at age 20. Set on becoming a Vegas showgirl, Amancio gained notoriety throughout Northern Mexico and the southwest with each show. In May of 2005, his dreams and life met with a tragic end. His body was found floating on the Colorado river.
Michael Baughman had never met Amancio Corrales when he read of his death in the local paper. They had no mutual friends, didn’t frequent the same places, or come from similar backgrounds. What they did share was a joie de vivre that was infectious. Horrified by the case and how the sheriff dealt with it, Michael made it his personal mission to insure that justice prevailed. Amancio: Two Faces on a Tombstone is the tragic story of a young life cut short and of one man’s efforts to make sure that no one else meets the same end.

Change of Plea in Corrales Manslaughter Case
Yuma, AZ – In Judge Reeves Courtroom today the mood was somber as the Plea Agreement arrived at between the Defense and Prosecution in the case of The State of Arizona vs. Ruben Soloria-Valenzuela was read aloud. The agreement stipulated Valenzuela plead guilty to Second Degree Manslaughter with aggravated circumstances. Valenzuela will also be required to pay restitution to the family in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00.
Valenzuela will receive a prison term of eight years and nine months. He will be credited for time served since his arrest on May 23, 2007. Under the Arizona Good Behavior Statute he will be required to serve 85% of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
The “aggravated circumstances” in the plea agreement are: 1. that a deadly weapon was used in the commission of the offense, and 2. Corrales’ death caused great emotional harm to his surviving family.
Judge Reeves heard the Change of Plea because Presiding Judge, Judge Gould, was out of town and the agreement will not become official until Judge Gould also accepts the plea of guilty.
Sentencing will take place on August 21, 2008, at 8:30am in Judge Gould’s Courtroom. Prior to sentencing, The Victim’s Impact Statement will be presented by the family. The family encourages you to attend if possible to support the family.
After the agreement was read, Mrs. Corrales, Amancio’s mother, spoke in a passionate voice stating she did not agree with the plea agreement. She broke down in tears during her emotionally charged statement.

Final Management Conference Again Delayed in Corrales Murder Case
Yuma, AZ: October 4, 2007 – The Final Management Conference (FMC) was again delayed to allow more time for the defense to prepare. The judge however appeared to be growing annoyed with the delays by the defense.
The Judge ordered a Status Hearing for October 25, 2007, at 8:30am and has set the Final Management Conference (FMC) for December 6, 2007. It is hoped the defenses delaying tactics will be brought to a halt and a trial date set.
The delays have been requested by the defense so that all the evidence can undergo separate testing and verification.
The Management Conferences are held by the judge to insure all parties to the case are talking to each other and the legal process keeps moving forward as productively and speedily as possible.
Timeline Synopsis:
May 6, 2005: The Yuma County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into the murder of Amancio Corrales, a female impersonator who was found brutally murdered and left floating in the Colorado River after spending the evening prior out at local bars.
May 23, 2007, at 1724 hours, investigators from the Yuma County Sheriff's Office arrested Ruben Soloria-Valenzuela, 23 of Yuma, as he was getting off work. The arrest was a result of an anonymous tip from the public.
The two year old case was considered a “Cold Case” by the Sheriff’s Department. Consistent efforts by The Amancio Project, led by organizer Michael H. Baughman, worked tirelessly and consistently to keep the case in the public eye and offer comfort to the Corrales family are credited for the anonymous person coming forward.
May 31, 2007: Yuma County Grand Jury indicted the suspect for Reckless Manslaughter and Abandonment and or Concealing a body. The suspect was originally charged with

group's own survey. The AFA (American Family Association) is expecting an overwhelming majority of respondents to say that they would be 'less likely' to do business with a company if they knew it supported the "homosexual agenda" - whatever that is. So far, they are getting the results they seek. Of course, they are only sending it where they will get the expected results. Let's change the outcome by completing the 1-question survey and sending it to everyone we know who is tired of this archaic and hateful way of thinking. Follow the link below to take action on this important issue. Go choose your answer and please pass it on
