Today, Raul Mariano Del Toro, 52, pleaded guilty to Attempted Murder and Sexual Torture and was sentenced to two life sentences.  The charges stemmed from an April, 2011 incident, during which Del Toro held a woman inside an Andalusia residence against her will and terrorized her all night long.  During the night, he repeatedly told her that he was going to kill her, and early the next morning, he forced her into a vehicle at gunpoint.  While driving down East Three Notch Street in Andalusia, the victim grabbed the steering wheel, and Del Toro fired four rounds, three of which struck the victim.  He then abandoned her and the vehicle near Dairy Queen but was found that evening after an extensive manhunt.  The case was investigated by the Andalusia Police Department.

ANDALUSIA, AL (WSFA)- What started out as a bomb threat in Andalusia has spread to a three-county explosives investigation. WSFA 12 News exclusively confirmed through authorities that what was previously three separate investigations are actually part of one large case.

Two persons of interest in connection with the case were detained in Houston County, according to authorities. Their investigation led them to a home on County Road 723 in Coffee County. "The information that we received was that the parties were from Coffee County," said Chief Deputy Ronnie Whitworth of Coffee County. "We came here and then after we got to the location and so forth, the parties had left and went toward Dothan."

No explosives were found at the home, but investigators did gather other information.
