Manuel Salado was a U.S. Army Reservist, who was last seen on October 8, 2007 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. At the time, Salado had graduated Army Basic Training and returned home to his wife in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Manuel Salado was reported missing after he failed to show up for his weekend Army Reserve Drills. Manuel Salado’s wife, Exondia Jaye Salado said that Manuel had returned from Basic Training, then left several days later and never returned. On October 8, 2007, Manuel Salado had visited a friend and wanted to spend the night at his friend’s house because Manuel was concerned that his wife was trying to kill him. Salado talked with his wife on the phone and changed his mind and had decided to returned to his home. Before Exondia was arrested in Florida for the murder of Manuel Salado, she apparently told two friends that she had shot Manuel and put his body in a plastic box. After about a week, she moved the box to a location outside the city and burned it on a grill. A search of her computer revealed searches for How to dismember a human body, recipes for human body consumption, how to build a BBQ pit, and information on how a body decomposes. Exondia was found guilty
