Time goes back a bit.
22 February 2001, 9.20 a.m., Los Angeles.
The Hollywood Community Police received a notification of the case.
When police arrived at the home at the scene of the crime, they found the body of a 22-year-old white woman with multiple stab wounds and a total of 47 stabs, 12 of which were fatal.
The victim’s name is Ashley Erlin, who is only 22 years old and is a model who lives in the Hollywood neighborhood.
After an on-site inspection by the police, it was found that this was not a (sexual) crime, and the family’s belongings were not lost, blood was splattered everywhere, but there were no fingerprints in the home, which was a premeditated and violent killing.
Subsequently, the police questioned the informant.
The caller is Ashley Erlin’s roommate who has been partying all night until the morning and is also a model.
The two of them had just moved into the apartment.
Upon inspection, the doors of the dwellings showed no signs of vandalism or forcible entry.
The police initially speculated that an acquaintance had committed the crime.
A series of investigations followed.
In the police investigation, Ashley Erling is a typical Hollywood dream girl.
Born into a middle-class family in Southern California, she grew up with a lively personality, loved to participate in various activities, always had a lot of friends around her, she has been studying fashion design and marketing, and dreams of becoming a designer. 720 In 1999, at the age of 19, she came to Hollywood in search of a better development, and the striking blonde girl soon began her modeling career.
She lives very close to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, after all, she lives and works in Hollywood, and often sees big-name directors and superstars in the spotlight here.
The glamour of these upper classes spurred this young man who was struggling for a career in fashion design, and Ashley Erling changed his dreams.
Instead I wanted to be a Hollywood star.
The atmosphere in Hollywood has changed the psychology of girls dramatically, and they have begun to rush for quick success in order to become famous or out of the circle.
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 in Hollywood, Ashley will attend various parties, unable to maintain self-discipline in that erosive atmosphere, smoking all kinds of contraband, just to meet more “useful” people, and will also work as a stripper and pole dancer in some nightclubs to earn her own living expenses.
She’ll hang out with a lot of Hollywood celebrities, the kind that doesn’t come home all night.
After a few years of ups and downs, one of Ashley’s biggest gains is that she became a lover with Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher.
Although she is also a “secret” that the other party cannot disclose.
At the time, Ashton Kutcher starred in his first sitcom, The ’70s Show, and made his mark in Hollywood.
So the police came to the door and questioned Ashton Kutcher.
Ashton Kutcher said that the two met through a friend’s introduction and have maintained an ambiguous relationship.
On the day of the crime, it was the date of the crew’s celebration banquet for the hit TV series, and Ashton was going to invite Ashley to this celebration party and spend the night happily together.
But Ashton’s work ended later than expected, because he had missed the appointed time, and at 8:24 p.m., he called Ashley again, and the girl said that she had just finished taking a shower and would be waiting for him at home.
Ashton called the call at 10:15 a.m. after finishing work, but Ashley didn’t answer at the time.
So he went straight to her house at 10:45 and saw that the lights were still on, but there was no response after knocking on the door, so he pulled the doorknob.
But it was not opened, so it left its own fingerprints.
He stood outside the door and looked inside through the window.
The floor was sprinkled with a liquid similar to red wine, and the light was dim and it was difficult to see, because Ashley and her roommate had just moved into the house and had invited many friends to the house to celebrate, thinking that maybe they were not here and they were partying again.
Edgeton then called Ashley’s phone again, but the other party still didn’t answer.
Thinking that the other party might be drunk or gone somewhere else, Acheton didn’t think much about it and left alone.
After the incident, Edgeton actively cooperated with the police.

His call records play an important role in speculating on the timing of the crime.
The police judged that the incident occurred between 8:24 and 10:15 p.m., which was less than two hours in the evening.
Subsequently, when the police searched the room for the third time, they finally found another fingerprint.
After investigation, it was found that the fingerprint belonged to the apartment administrator, the unknown actor Mark Debyn.
The BAEC immediately summoned Mark Debyn.
In Mark Debin’s account, a lamp in Ashley’s house broke down that night and needed his help to fix it.
Mark arrived quickly and helped Ashley fix the lights.
After the repairs, Ashley invited him to dinner.
In this apartment, catalyzed by red wine, everything seems so natural and logical. [ Read more novels for free on our website: Knight NovelS ]
Hollywood’s hard work can make people vulnerable.
At that moment, they chose to fight this loneliness together, and both lonely hearts were comforted.
After the shower, Ashley says that she will go to a dinner party in the evening, and after taking a shower and receiving a call from Acheton, Mark leaves.
Mark also actively cooperated with the police investigation.
His alibi was also confirmed.
So both Mark and Acheton were ruled out of suspicion.
Later, based on the testimony of the neighbors, the police determined that the time of the crime was shortly after Mark left.
In other words, when Mark and Ashley are at home, there is a pair of eyes outside the window that are always watching everything.
Combined with the very open personality of the victim before his death, there was more than one male partner, plus he was stabbed 47 times, and the death was very miserable, which seemed to be an angry emotion, so at first he suspected that this was a love killing, and all he had to do was to investigate her interpersonal relationships.
After all, Ashley is a social cattle, there are more than 100 people who know her and have a good relationship, and it takes a long time to investigate everyone, and finally a “warmer man” enters the police’s sight.
The man who repaired the heating and air conditioning was called Michael Gagilo.
He also lives in the community and often walks his dog in the park, and by chance he meets Ashley, who lives across the street from the park, and the two exchange phone numbers.
Their homes were only one block apart, and from then on, Michael’s behavior became more and more strange, and he would often stand on the street and stare at Ashley’s house.
According to Ashley’s roommates, once they were having a party at home, and Michael came in uninvited, didn’t talk to anyone when he came in, and sat alone in the corner.
The police began investigating this Michael Gagilo. []
Surprised to learn that in 1993 there was a homicide in the suburbs of Chicago, and Michael was named as a suspect.
13 August 1993.
Tricia, an 8-year-old girl from Glenview in the northern suburbs of Chicago, attended her high school graduation party and was found dead in her garage by her father the next day, with 24 stabs wounded, three of which were fatal.
Michael is one of the suspects in this case.
Los Angeles police immediately located McElgagiello and collected his DNA
However, after receiving the DNA collection, Michael quickly left his community and disappeared without a trace.
But the Los Angeles police didn’t arrest him in the first place, because they had to wait for the DNA report from Chicago that was extracted from Tricia’s nails.
After receiving a fax from the Los Angeles police, the Chicago police delayed sending the DNA test report for a day.
Then the Los Angeles police delayed another day before they could compare the two DNA reports.
It was the inefficiency of the police that allowed Michael Gagilow to escape.
(Brothers, please take care of it, evaluation, flowers, collections, and rewards are all here, thank you.) ）。
