She was found dead from stab wounds in the bathtub of her Burbank home.
Carrera was found wearing a silver cocktail dress worn at her wedding reception.
Authorities immediately focused on the woman's new husband.
Arnoldo Jimenez disappeared, along with the 2006 black Maserati he was driving. Jimenez has been named in a first degree murder warrant.
Investigators believe Carrera was stabbed in the car and moved to the bathtub. Humberto Jimenez, they say, then drove Arnoldo in the car to Mexico.
During the drug arrest, the Maserati was found in Humberto's garage.
Prosecutors told the judge that blood was inside the car.
