Police investigators believe that David Quiroz requested “something specific” from Heather Carroll the morning of Oct. 10. Although detectives have yet to pin down a precise time when their encounter occurred, it appears as though an argument started soon after her arrival to his southeast Hollister home and that it promptly escalated into a physical confrontation, leading to her death.
Cheryl Busch, the San Benito County woman who shot and killed her 19-month-old daughter in 2008, received a sentence Friday of 25 years to life in prison.
The district attorney's office chief investigator said prosecutors are "back in the investigation mode" and still contended "crimes occurred" in the case of 41-year-old Clint Wageman, who had been accused of concealing a 14-year-old Hollister runaway before the related charge was dismissed Thursday.
The sixth suspect has been charged in a murder of a Hollister man on Park Hill in January 2011, while four of the five juveniles accused in the case appeared in court Tuesday to retain attorneys.
