Now the suspect in the case has recanted their testimony. To avoid suspicion, Reid handed the case over to Unit 1 to handle.
The case occurred in a villa in a suburb of Los Angeles. The suspect is the male owner of the villa, and the victim is the female owner. The witness is a boy they adopted, an eight-year-old child.
The deputy paused and continued, "At the time of the incident, the boy was asleep on the villa's second floor. He was awakened by noises downstairs, walked out of the bedroom to check, and witnessed a scene he could never forget.
The living room was in disarray, with blood everywhere. His mother lay on the floor, and his father was on top of her, choking her with his hands. The boy screamed and fainted from fright."
The surrounding neighbors also heard the disturbance in the villa, thought the couple was arguing, and called the police. When the police arrived, they saw traces of blood and struggle, but both the couple, except for the boy, were missing.
