    The killer's motive in the murder of a Florida woman, whose body was
    discovered at a Costa Rican complex where she'd been staying to celebrate
    her birthday, "was sexual" in nature, an official said Wednesday.

    Judicial Investigator Director Walter Espinoza didn’t go further into what
    may have prompted someone to kill Carla Stefaniak, or how authorities
    arrived at the "sexual" motive. An autopsy showed the woman died from
    blunt force trauma to the head and also suffered several stab wounds to
    her neck, according to WPLG-TV.

    Bismark Espinoza Martinez, 32, was taken into custody Monday night at
    about 11 p.m., WFTS-TV reported, citing Costa Rica’s Judicial
    Investigation Agency.

    Martinez was detained after officials said they determined he had time to commit the crime and had made statements that didn’t line up with video surveillance in the area.

    “He presented many contradictions. As of that moment, he became a
    suspect,” Espinoza said Tuesday.

    The only photo released so far of Martinez does not show his face.

    “Someone was interviewed and said she left for the airport at 5 a.m. when
    the flight was much later,” Wayne Black, a South Florida private
    investigator, told WPLG-TV. “There was something fishy about that to begin with.”

    Stefaniak’s body was discovered Monday half-buried and covered in plastic
    bags on the property of the Costa Rican Airbnb she'd been staying at with
    her sister-in-law, Espinoza said.

    Costa Rican officials said blood was discovered inside the complex, too.

    “In her apartment, we found blood. Three hundred meters away we found her body,” Espinoza said.

    Stefaniak's sister-in-law left Costa Rica on Nov. 27 and Stefaniak was due
    to depart the next day -- but she never made her flight. Her family last
    heard from her the night of Nov. 27.
