Do you remember when she said she wanted to go to Los Angeles and how you felt when she told you that I feel very happy for her and very sad for me because we are very close Luis Cabrales communicated with his daughter every day that she was in L.A message uh uh dollar I miss you I will miss you too father you never told me dad always tell me father no one was surprised that the summa laude graduate of the prestigious University of Monterrey Mexico was thriving in L.A Fernanda cantasani and Alan bettencorp who call her Marcella or Marseille were two of her closest friends in Monterey she always gave 100 in everything she did in her friendships with her family with her work with herself she had also already lived in South Korea and traveled around the world how many countries in the 22 countries 22 countries for such a young girl, she was very determined, she also knew how to have a good time dancing, she loved dressing up every person who met her, including her dog.

I am dreaming? I took her hand and said: Mom is here with you, you are not alone. She surprised me a lot, she impressed me a lot. I never expected to see her like this as if Christy Hilda had suffered a drug overdose. Toxicology reports would follow later. revealed that she had cocaine, MDMA or ecstasy, and elevated levels of fentanyl in her system, but her friends and family were sure that this young, health-conscious, early-to-bed, early-to-wake-up young woman would never have voluntarily taken a cocktail of drugs so toxic when he heard about an overdose. You immediately thought she was high, yes, high.
I was sure someone did this to her when they told you the cause of her death was an overdose. That adds to you, not at all, definitely not something she would have done to herself. The autopsy showed that she had fentanyl cocaine and GHB, known as the date rape drug, in her system in the hours and days after Christie's death. Pieces of the puzzle together starting on the night of Friday, November 12, 2021, the night of the warehouse party, he made a timeline based on what he knew about Christie's plans, conversations with Christy's friends, and the digital trail he left behind Yan, who had gone to visit San Francisco.
Her dad says Christy spent the afternoon doing what she loved most, she was enjoying a beautiful sunset, she took a cat for a walk in the sand on the beach, Panther, oh those were the

Jan had gone to bed when she woke up the next morning, it was already Saturday the 13th. November saw that Christy had texted him if I responded and at first he didn't hear anything from her. She just assumed that she was sleeping in, but after a few hours of not knowing anything, she noticed something strange. They shared locations on her phones. I saw that she was in a place I didn't recognize. Her phone was located at 8641 West Olympic Boulevard, so a little orange flag on the back of your head. She still hadn't heard from him and I saw her location. she suddenly she had moved to the hospital.
I called the hospital, they told me she was in the emergency room and at that moment, as if she were in a panic, Jan ran to the airport to catch a flight back to Los Angeles. I called her parents to inform them. that something terrible had happened and she was in the emergency room and then her mom called the emergency room and called me back probably five minutes later to tell me that Christie passed away in less than 24 hours her world was turned upside down shattered Yan straightened up to the hospital Christy and Hilda's friend who had been at the warehouse party with them but left early was already here.
She had been desperately trying to contact Hilda but couldn't get through to her. They were about to find out why we got a call from a different hospital like two hours later, saying that Hilda had just been admitted at that time and then obviously all our alarm bells are going off in our heads when both girls are dropped off. in two different hospitals two hours apart, as if something terrible had happened that night and Jan believed that what happened took place at that mysterious address on Olympic Boulevard. She put it on Instagram asking for help. Yes, exploit this address and very quickly you get answers.
Yeah, what are those answers that there's someone who lives in this place and they're a very unpleasant person? There are many things on the Internet about him, his name was David Pierce. It was believed that Hilda and Christy met him for the first time at the warehouse party. David Pierce went unnoticed for a long time, but his past was about to disappear. Catch up with him as he faces serious charges, says former prosecutor Mary Fulginiti, at best a con man, at worst a criminal, a sexual predator, a drug dealer, a murderer, a foreign assassin, discovered clues in the deaths of his wife Christy and her friend Hilda within 48 hours. .com While Hilda Marcella lay in a hospital bed fighting for her life in Los Angeles, Dusty and Leslie Giles prepared to bury their daughter Christy in Alabama, half of her ashes would go yawn to be scattered in the places they loved.
Dusty placed the rest in an urn. him inside a butterfly box and he gently wrapped her in the wedding dress she never had the chance to wear. It was important because I know how happy he was when he found it. She swirled like a princess literally into him within hours of Christie's death. The detectives on the case. They were following leads from Christy herself, her phone ringing had led them straight to this man's apartment David Pierce 8641 West Olympic Boulevard please drive there oh my god there's a car boom there's the same car Telus says the Police believed he was the same black guy.
A Prius with no license plates that dropped Christie off at the hospital and it's okay, I think we've got our man. They retraced the women's movements that night, whichwhich would become the basis of a police affidavit when they reviewed those party photos at In the warehouse was David Pierce with Hilda having fun in the VIP section. It seems that VIP access gave David Pierce instant credibility. Absolutely, it's all part of the manipulation. He must be a good guy. He is in the VIP section. It was probably all part of one. plan to meet women a plan that included drugs says retired detective based on witness statements and police investigation David Pierce comes with an estimated one ounce bag of cocaine and David Pierce came here to share it with whoever he might know according to Telus cocaine is a hot topic at these parties at least that night, even for Hilda and Christy the police recovered this text message exchange between the two women from 4:21 a.m. while they were still at the warehouse party Do you want Coca-Cola?
He asks Hilda yes, Christy says she will do it. detects it again I'm in the kitchen, let's line up, according to the police affidavit, a witness observed that his coworkers gave what looked like cocaine to Giles and Cabrales, who consumed it. Police say half an hour later, this surveillance video obtained by 48 Hours shows Hilda and Christy leaving with David Pierce and two other men, his roommate Brandt Osborne and his photographer friend Michael Ansbach, all get into Osborne's car to 5:11 a.m. According to the police affidavit, surveillance video that has not been released due to the ongoing investigation shows Osborne's car arriving here in front.
From the apartment, according to the affidavit, several people exited the vehicle and went to the entrance of the residence 19 minutes later at 5:30 a.m. From inside Pierce's apartment Christie sends a wide-eyed emoji text to Hilda saying "let's go" Hilda responds "I'll call an Uber in 10 minutes 13 minutes later, according to the affidavit, a car believed to be is the Uber stops after waiting five minutes and drives away without Christy and without Hilda, how did you process that? I mean it's just confirming my worst fears again. they were there in that place against their will they didn't want to be there they wanted going abroad a former federal prosecutor and defense attorney and CBS News consultant reviewed police affidavit and court documents, says this text is an important piece of There is evidence that something or someone stopped them in their tracks because they never came out and they never left, no one knows exactly what happened inside that apartment for the next 13 hours, but according to the affidavit, a neighbor heard someone in pain and moaning intermittently during the hours of 10:30 a.m. m. to 4 p.m. m., for unknown reasons the neighbor did not call the police, she is clearly in a state of distress that everyone seems to ignore and when I say that everyone, not just Pierce or Osborne, but there is a third individual who seems to have been there apartment at least for part or all of the night and that's Michael Ann's book.
What happened inside the apartment was hidden from public view, not outside the apartment, another key piece of evidence, images captured by security cameras, but the cameras are in the adjacent building right next door that points right in this direction Although Telus has not seen the video, the police affidavit describes it in detail at 4:19 p.m., 11 hours after arriving at the apartment. Pierce and Osborne are caught on camera carrying Christy Down. The back stairs show Pierce walking out the door, the back door looking in both directions making sure the shore is clear, making sure there won't be any witnesses to see me carrying this body to my car.
Both men enter the Prius according to the affidavit. The men are captured on security cameras trying to disguise themselves. You see them putting on a hat, a mask and a hoodie and then they leave and drive to a Southern California Medical Center hospital shortly after, according to police, Ansbach leaves the residence carrying bags of unknown items Pearson Osborne returned to the department to look for Hilda. They take her partially naked body to the Prius and leave again. They don't go to the same hospital. They go to a different hospital. Kaiser Permanente. Why not bring them at the same time? the same hospital that knows they are trying to hide their actions, they are trying to keep the police at bay and they don't want to appear on the radar and they do the same thing, drop the body, tell the same story and then leave without leaving their name her phone number or anything to identify herself with and Hilda what is her condition at the moment Hilda was still alive they took her to the hospital and declared her what we call brain dead how did you process that when you heard that news the worst days of my life after almost two weeks on life support it was time for Hilda Marcella's family to say goodbye although what were your last moments with your daughter were very hard you know and I was just asking God not to let her suffer anymore I remember telling her that you can go and just thank her for being my sister maybe when I was away I'll see you again and I gave you a big hug a kiss the family decided to donate Hilda Marcella's organs her mother remembers the medical staff lined up in the hallways while the family that accompanied Hilda or the medical team applauded to honor her and say thank you for giving life to others.
Hilda Marcela Cabrales was declared dead one day before her 27th birthday in Monterrey, Mexico, her friends gathered. to remember her all dressed in white in her favorite park we broke her favorite drink and her favorite cake at first we were crying but at some point we put on her favorite music then we started dancing and we laughed and hugged and she was beautiful I felt like she was there three weeks After Hilda's death a break in the case Police arrested three men in connection with the death of a model and her friend last month David Pierce 39 Brandt Osborne 42 and Mike Glonsbach 47 were arrested in connection with Hilda's deaths and Christie, but not officially charged Osborne left and Ansbach were eventually released, but not Pierce, he was arrested on four new unrelated sexual assault charges tonight.
A Beverly Hills man has been accused of killing 4 women when this case hit the media. The victims appeared. I know that guy. He did this to me. Prosecutors allege in cases dating back to 2010 that Pierce lured four different Janes to his apartment and gave all but one a special drink, making them dizzy or blacking out. include forcible rape sexual penetration with a foreign object having sex with someone who is unconscious Erica Bergman, who also goes by the name Erica Poe, is not one of the Janes, but she says Pierce traumatized her so much that she tried to warn other women about him on a blog. called dirty back in 2013. discovered he had a lot of company there are a lot of commonalities in our stories Erica says she met Pierce at a low point in her life, she was going through a divorce and money was tight initially, she says she was tricked by him, he talked a lot about the celebrities he knew and introduced himself as a producer for Paramount Pictures, so he was truly a larger-than-life personality, but she says it didn't take her long to realize that Pierce often introduced himself as Dave from Paramount Pictures lied that he never worked at the movie studio David Pierce is a very bad person Erica believes that one night he drugged her she slept until 4 pm the next day and woke up feeling strange and groggy and Dave is bouncing around the room They were laughing and he and Giddy started telling me how while I was passed out he had assaulted me in my sleep, sexually assaulted me and the things he had done to me that were incredibly degrading.
Erica says she wanted to leave but felt trapped she says he threatened to send compromising photos to her ex-husband who she was fighting in divorce court she reluctantly stayed but says the violence only got worse he hit my head against the marble floor and the sound in my ears was like an egg breaking and I can't get that sound out of my ears Erica says she was too scared to press charges but soon it was gone forever and then it all came rushing back when she heard about Christy and Hilda my first instinct was that this was It's no coincidence that I had his name all over the place in May 2022, the prosecution added three more counts of sexual assault against David Pierce, we added three additional counts of sexual assault with three additional victims and there were more David , 40 years old.
Pierce has been charged with murder in connection with the women's deaths. After a seven-month investigation, the district attorney had enough evidence to charge David Pierce with two counts of murder, alleging that David Pierce gave Christie and Hilda Lethal amounts of fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid that drug dealers often mix with other drugs without the user's knowledge. It was months before David Pierce was charged with murder. What was your reaction? I mean, definitely a relief but also very sad because the police didn't find any drugs with fentanyl in Pearson Osborne's apartment, just drug paraphernalia, but Osborne. who has been charged as an accessory to murder after the fact may have unknowingly explained why, according to the police affidavit, Osborne told his co-workers that if cops had found the drugs hidden under the stash inside the car , they would have had big problems not finding fentanyl.
Ace Drugs creates a big challenge for the prosecution, Fulginiti says, they're going to have to prove that David Pierce gave these drugs to the girls and knew at the time that it could harm them and did it with conscious disregard, so they're going to have to prove that David Pierce intended to kill these young women and that is not an easy threshold to overcome, especially in light of witness statements that the women were voluntarily using cocaine in the warehouse and earlier in the evening, as well as friends told police Christian Hilda. both had used cocaine and ketamine, a popular club drug, how does this work?
And the favor of the defense because fentanyl is the problem in this country and people are dying from the fentanyl that they take recreationally because they believe that they only take cocaine if the defense, that is the point that you want to continue to make, is how to hold accountable to these two men for an epidemic that is really hitting the entire country. I mean, it will be easy, says Josh Ritter, the former Los Angeles assistant district attorney he is advising on. legal issues and now he is a practicing defense attorney, the problem that they are going to have is how to understand how those girls were treated afterwards and how to understand the history that this man has and how to get around the fact that Christy had the so-called rape drug in their system is that GHB is the date rape drug, something these women would have knowingly taken.
No, it's a drug usually used by sexual predators who want to take advantage of women and I don't want them to remember or know. Hilda and Christy were still coherent at 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning when they exchanged that text message about calling an Uber, the text punctuated with a wide-eyed emoji, something happened within those 10 minutes between them. calling the Uber and that we were leaving that incapacitated them according to the schedule in the affidavit Christie remained in that apartment for the next 11 hours Hilda for 13 with one of them according to a neighbor moaning and complaining of pain most of the day these two The women could still be alive if David Pierce or Mr.
Osborne had called 9-1-1 three digits on a phone that could have changed everything, oh my God, if they were found guilty of all the charges against them. David Pierce could face 128 years to life in prison, which is David Pierce currently charged with David Pierce is charged with 11 counts, seven counts of drugging and sexually assaulting, raping or forcibly sodomizing multiple women to municipal murder and two charges of providing a controlled substance that, being fentanyl, in a bold move, the state will combine sexual use. assault and murder charges in one trial why include sexual assault charges in a murder case if you look at this case as a whole?
I mean, this is David Pierce's Mo, he lures women to his apartment, offers them a drink and then they start feeling dizzy or pass out and he sexually assaults them, while Christy and Hilda's autopsy indicated that they don't there was physical or sexual trauma. Nurses treating Hilda noticed slight bleeding from her vagina and a review of her sexual assault exam found a small abrasion. I know this is a difficult conversation, do you think Hilda and Christie were potentially raped that night? Of course, I think that's why they drugged them. Josh Ritter believes the testimony of the women who were allegedly drugged and raped by Pierce will help jurors see a dangerous pattern of behavior.
His testimony is going to be huge. One woman may be the one.defense can poke holes and two women start to seem like this is really a coincidence or not, but three or four women or more and you realize you're dealing with a Monster, it turns out that David Pierce had been on the radar of the police for years according to the police affidavit. He was arrested in 2014 for sexual assault along with an additional rape case, but these cases are often difficult to prove and were ultimately rejected by the district attorney's office. something Christie's sister Misty finds inexcusable knowing that he had been arrested and released is just appalling to me, it's really sad that two beautiful girls had to die for him to be in jail right now.
David Pierce has pleaded not guilty to all. charges against him Brandt Osborne, who is charged with accessory to murder after the fact, also pleaded not guilty and is free on bail. We caught up with him outside the courthouse. Do you have any comments? I have no comments. I'm innocent. Pierce's lawyer too. I didn't make any comments, but at the time of the incident, Pierce told detectives at the end of the day that I didn't do anything wrong, I just tried to make the situation right, so far the prosecutor's office has declined to file charges against Michael Ansbach, as he found out 48 hours ago.
He is cooperating with prosecutors and will likely testify against his two friends, but until the case goes to trial, Dusty and Leslie Giles, thanks to a social media campaign, will be at every court hearing. Never let David Pierce forget that Christy was more than just a name on a court file she was a real person she was a daughter a sister a scholarship daughter she was her dad's best friend I miss my daughter well we love you in Mexico Hilda Marcella's friends and family treasured the memories she left behind. A lock of hair is part of her, a diploma, so not only was she intelligent, she was the best in her class, she was the best of the best, a dog named Tomas who now lives with much The love we have for Marseille goes to Tomas, he reminds us of her so much and he has become my emotional support, my emotional strength.
She would be very lost, so yes, there is always and always will be a whole and nothing can fill it. She loved to live and I believe that is the way we can honor her by living our best lives. Hilda and Christie's families hope that the deaths of these young friends will not be in vain. This is a tragedy, but maybe this was the way to stop them. That is the only justice we can get abroad. I woke up with a start and began screaming a 55-hour reign of terror. I couldn't get enough and he was hurting mom and I said please, I'll do anything, please don't kill me, 48 hours Saturday on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus.
