Trial begins for man accused of murdering American University professor in 2010

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — Jury selection begins Monday in the case of a murdered American University professor 15 years ago. Jorge Rueda Landeros was arrested in Mexico in December 2022 and charged with first-degree murder. He has been in custody since.

On Oct. 25, 2010, Sue Marcum was found dead in the basement of her home, which, according to the FBI, looked like it had been burglarized. Officials later determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma and asphyxiation.
