Suarez and her two children vanished four months ago after Toledo and Suarez had an argument at her work.

Prosecutors say Toledo admitted to killing his wife but said he had nothing to do with the deaths of her kids, Thalia and Michael Otto.

Toledo has pleaded not guilty.

Toledo also faces charges of tampering with evidence after deputies reported finding traces of what appeared to be blood in Toledo's home and noticed it had been thoroughly cleaned.
