Time goes back a step.

February 22, 2001, 9:20 am, Los Angeles.

Hollywood Community Police received a report of the incident.

When the police arrived at the house where the crime occurred, they found the body of a 22-year-old white woman. The victim had multiple stab wounds. She had been stabbed 47 times in total, 12 of which were fatal.

The victim's name is Ashley Ellyn, who is only 22 years old and is a model living in the Hollywood community.

After the police's on-site inspection, it was found that this was not a (sex) crime, and no property in the home was missing. Blood was spattered everywhere, but there were no fingerprints in the home. This was a premeditated violent killing.

The police then questioned the caller.

The person who called the police was Ashley Erling's roommate and a model who had been partying all night until morning.

The two of them had just moved into this apartment not long ago.

After inspection, the door of the residence showed no signs of damage or forced entry.

The police initially speculated that an acquaintance committed the crime.

What followed was a series of investigations.

In the police investigation, Ashley Ellyn was a typical Hollywood dream girl.

She was born in a middle-class family in Southern California. She has been lively and likes to participate in various activities since she was a child. She always has many friends around her. She has been studying fashion design and marketing and dreams of becoming a designer. 720 In 1999, when she was 19 years old, she came to Hollywood in pursuit of better development. This striking blonde girl quickly started a modeling career.

She lives very close to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After all, she lives and works in Hollywood, where she often sees big-name directors and superstars in the spotlight.

The glamor of these upper classes stimulated this young man who was struggling for a career in fashion design. Ashley Ellyn changed her dream.

Instead he wanted to be a Hollywood star.

The atmosphere of Hollywood has caused a huge change in the psychology of girls, and they begin to seek quick success and quick success in order to become famous or get out of the industry.

During the police investigation, some of her friends also said that Ashley's free-spirited life began to spiral out of control.

In order to expand her network of contacts in Hollywood, Ashley would attend various parties. Unable to maintain self-discipline in that decadent atmosphere, she would smoke all kinds of contraband, just to get to know more"useful" people. She would also work in some nightclubs. Strippers and pole dancers earn a living for themselves.

She would hang out with a lot of Hollywood celebrities and stay up all night.

After several years of ups and downs, one of Ashley's biggest gains was that she became a lover with Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher.

Although she is also a"secret" that the other party cannot disclose.

At that time, Ashton Kutcher participated in his first sitcom"That '70s Show" and made a name for himself in Hollywood.

So the police came to question Ashton Kutcher again.

Ashton Kutcher said the two met through friends and have maintained an ambiguous relationship.

On the day of the incident, the crew held a celebration party for the success of the TV series. Ashton planned to invite Ashley to the celebration party and spend the night happily together.

But Ashton's work ended later than expected because he missed the appointed time. At 8:24 pm, he called Ashley again. The girl said that she had just taken a shower and would be at home. Wait for him to arrive.

Ashton called at 10:15 after finishing work, but Ashley didn't answer at that time.

So he went directly to her house at 10:45 and saw that the lights were still on. He knocked on the door but there was no response, so he pulled the door handle.

But he didn't open it, so he left his fingerprints.

He stood outside the door and looked through the window.

The ground was covered with a liquid that looked like red wine, and the lights were dim and it was difficult to see clearly. This was because Ashley and her roommate had just moved to this house and had invited many friends to celebrate at home. She thought they might have come again during her absence. reunion.

Later, Edgerton called Ashley's phone again, but the other party still didn't answer.

Edgerton thought that the other party might be drunk or went somewhere else, so he left alone without thinking much.

After the incident, Edgerton actively cooperated with the police.

His call records play an important role in estimating the time of the crime.

The police determined that the incident occurred between 8:24 and 10:15 pm, which was less than two hours.

Later, when the police searched the room for the third time, they finally found another fingerprint.

After investigation, the fingerprint belonged to the apartment manager, unknown actor Mark Durbin.

The police immediately summoned Mark Durbin.

In Mark Durbin's account, a light broke out in Ashley's house that night and he needed his help to repair it.

Mark arrived quickly and helped Ashley fix the light.

After the repairs were completed, Ashley invited him to dinner.

In this apartment, under the catalysis of red wine, everything seemed so natural and logical. (If you want to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The struggle of Hollywood can make people vulnerable.

At that moment, they chose to fight this loneliness together, and their two lonely hearts were comforted.

After finishing, Ashley said she was going to attend a party in the evening. After taking a shower and receiving a call from Edgerton, Mark left.

Mark also actively cooperated with the police investigation.

His alibi was also confirmed.

So both Mark and Edgerton were ruled out as suspects.

Later, the police determined based on the testimony of neighbors that the crime occurred shortly after Mark left.

In other words, when Mark and Ashley were having sex at home, there was a pair of eyes outside the window that were always watching everything.

Combined with the very open character of the victim, who had more than one male partner, and who was stabbed 47 times, the death was very miserable and seemed to be a way of venting anger, so at first it was suspected that it was a love killing, and what we had to do was to investigate her. interpersonal relationships.

After all, Ashley is a great social person. There are more than 100 people who know her and have good relationships with her. It takes a long time to investigate each person, and eventually a"heater man" comes into the police's sight.

The man who repairs heating and air conditioning equipment is named Michael Gargillo.

He also lives in this community and often walks his dog in the park. By chance, he met Ashley, who lived across from the park, and the two exchanged phone numbers.

Their homes were only one block apart, and from this point on, Michael's behavior became increasingly strange. He would often stand on the street and stare at Ashley's home.

According to Ashley's roommates, one time they were having a party at home, and Michael showed up uninvited. He didn't talk to anyone after he came in, and just sat in the corner alone.

The police began investigating Michael Gargiello[]

They were surprised to find that a murder case occurred in the suburbs of Chicago in 1993, and Michael was also listed as a suspect.

August 13, 1993.

Tricia, an 8-year-old girl from Glenview, a northern suburb of Chicago, attended her final high school graduation party and was found dead by her father in the garage of her home the next day. She had been stabbed 24 times, three of which were fatal.

Michael is one of the suspects in this case.

The Los Angeles police immediately found Michael Gargillo and collected his DNA.

However, after Michael accepted the DNA collection, he quickly left the community where he lived and disappeared without a trace.

But the Los Angeles police did not arrest him immediately because they needed to wait for the DNA test report extracted from Tricia's fingernails from Chicago.

After receiving the fax from the Los Angeles police, the Chicago police delayed sending the DNA test report for one day.

The Los Angeles police then delayed for another day before comparing the two DNA reports.

It was the inefficiency of the police that allowed Michael Gargilo to escape.
