San Antonio police are investigating a woman whose husband plunged 18 stories to his death from a hotel balcony following an argument with her after she allegedly refused to engage in four-way sex with another couple.

In a second version, she stated that her husband had been fighting with a member of the other couple and when she tried to intervene, both of them turned and assaulted her. After the couple left, her husband went out onto the balcony.
When asked once again by police what happened, Ochoa's wife repeated the first story again, but added that she believed her husband was trying to escape security whom he believed had been summoned by the other couple, thinking he was going to be arrested. She claimed that she thought her husband was trying to climb down off balcony before security entered the room.
