CHICAGO — The sister of a bride found stabbed to death in suburban Chicago says her new brother-in-law called a relative on the day the body was found and said he left her bleeding after a "bad fight."

Jazmin Carrera tells The Associated Press that a sister of Arnoldo Jimenez told the victim's family about the phone call Sunday. Jimenez was crying and nervous, hung up on his sister and wouldn't pick up when she called him back.

Police are searching for Jimenez, who is wanted on a murder charge.

Jazmin Carrera is an older sister of 26-year-old Estrella Carrera, who was found stabbed in her bathtub clad in a sequin cocktail dress she'd worn on her wedding night.

Jazmin Carrera says Jiminez had hit and bruised her sister in the past.
