00:00:00
[Music] when people think of Los Angeles they think of the glitz the Glamour the
00:00:21
stardom but there's a dark side to Los Angeles my name is Barry Tellus and I'm a retired homicide detective
00:00:30
from the Los Angeles Police Department this is a dangerous dangerous town there are
00:00:37
predators conmen people who pretend to be someone they're not and those are the people who prey on the
00:00:47
innocent Christy Giles and Hilda Marcel cabales were two young women in their 20s there were new friends and then
00:00:54
together they're sort of getting to know each other and enjoy Olay and everything
00:00:58
it has to offer I'm Mary fjun and I'm a former prosecutor and defense attorney Hilda Marcel cabal just moved from
00:01:06
Mexico and she's loving in Los Angeles she was looking for the American dream I guess I was marcela's best friend with
00:01:16
think it was a dream for her to be there and being able to do what she loved being a architect and interior designer
00:01:27
Aloha my wife Christy was a model she was going out for shoots all the time and she traveled the world doing
00:01:34
that and having amazing experiences she was the most fun and interesting person I'd ever met she didn't live inside
00:01:41
society's box definitely not she was a very free spirit they're two gorgeous girls who
00:01:52
are not only pursuing their careers but also wanting to have fun at the same time and they do what a lot of kids do
00:01:59
their 20s they go out and they party Chris's plan for the evening was to go out with some friends and have a
00:02:11
fun night they went to go see one of their favorite DJs at this event in East LA seems like a weird place to have a
00:02:20
party well it's a warehouse and we have warehouse parties all over Los Angeles and they just have music drugs
00:02:32
alcohol and people and this is a target-rich environment for victims of predators they met a man who passed
00:02:43
himself off as a big shot Hollywood producer and that just clearly wasn't the case and it was just dumb luck that they
00:02:52
met him he doesn't care about other people the longer and longer I didn't hear back
00:03:00
asking her if she's okay the more wored I got we were just waiting for some news
00:03:07
any news and at that point like I'm in real Panic once they left that party that was
00:03:17
the last time their loved ones ever heard from them again [Music] [Music] Hilda Marcel Placencia a doctor in
00:04:13
Durango Mexico was used to handling medical emergencies but nothing prepared her for
00:04:20
the call she got about her eldest daughter and namesake Hilda Marcela cabales I receiv
00:04:29
the phone call in the middle of the night saying that she was so ill she was very bad she was uh intubated the
00:04:40
26-year-old architect was fighting for her life in the ICU at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Los
00:04:49
Angeles you are a doctor what was going on in your mind at the time what happened what what happened to her why
00:04:56
is she that bad [Music] another mother in Corner Alabama was also getting shattering news Dusty Gil's
00:05:08
daughter Christy was in the ER at a completely different Los Angeles Hospital the Southern California medical
00:05:16
center I was just told I'm very sorry to inform you miss JS but she was dropped off at our Hospital on the outside kind
00:05:28
of like a bag of garbage and um she didn't make it and I said what do you mean she
00:05:37
didn't make it they said it is now a police matter I hung up and I fell apart Christie who had just turned 24
00:05:50
was dead of a drug overdose but when detectives heard how she was dropped off they immediately suspected Foul Play
00:06:01
Hospital staff told investigators a black Prius without license plates pulled up here to the ER entrance two
00:06:08
men told the staff they found the woman quote passed out on the curb somewhere nearby and were trying to be good
00:06:15
samarit by bringing her to the hospital they left without giving their names or phone
00:06:22
numbers it was appalling to me Barry Tellus a former Los Angeles Police Department homicide detective and CBS
00:06:30
News consultant says nothing about that story made sense nobody just drops somebody off and say hey by the way we
00:06:37
were driving down the street we found this girl passed out on the sidewalk it was an unfathomable ending
00:06:44
to a life bursting with exuberance when Christy came into her room she was like a
00:06:51
tornado let's do some her personality was big it was loud you just couldn't help but love her for

dramatic turn I got a text message from her that said I did something don't tell

00:08:30
once I was with her you know it was different Yan planned to pop the question just seven months after meeting

00:11:27
Hilda was in a com her life in the balance her frantic parents and sister Fernanda racing to

00:11:51
[Music] [Music] this Hilda Marcella the vibrant young architect Who Loved Laughing With
00:12:09
Friends traveling the world with her sister oh you're in the balloon here yeah we are inside the balloon and
00:12:18
playing with her dog Tomas looked nothing like the Hilda Marcella her family saw when they
00:12:24
arrived at the hospital in Los Angeles my my heart broke in thousand pieces because I saw my my baby un
00:12:38
conscience I'm fighting for her life I said is this real Am I Dreaming I took her hand and I said
00:12:55
Mom's here with you you're not alone I was very shocked very impressed I never expected looking at her like
00:13:09
this like Christie Hilda had suffered a drug overdose toxicology reports would later reveal that she had cocaine MDMA
00:13:18
or ecstasy and elevated levels of fentanyl in her system but her friends and family were sure that this early to
00:13:25
bed early to rise healthc conscious young woman would never have willingly taken such a toxic cocktail of drugs
00:13:34
when you heard overdose you immediately thought drugged yeah drugged I was sure someone did this to
00:13:42
her when you were told that the cause of death was an overdose did that add up to you
00:13:51
absolutely not definitely not something that she would have done to herself ever that's just not
00:13:57
her Chris 's autopsy showed she had cocaine Fentanyl and GHB known as the date rape drug in her
00:14:07
system in the hours and days after christe's death Yan was determined to get the truth I wanted to get to the
00:14:14
bottom of what exactly what happened that night Yan began putting the puzzle pieces together starting on the evening
00:14:22
of Friday November 12th 2021 the night of the warehouse party he made a timeline B based on what he knew
00:14:30
about christe's plans conversations with Christy's friends and the digital Trail
00:14:35
she left behind Yan who had gone to San Francisco to visit his dad says Christie spent the
00:14:43
early evening doing what she loved most she was enjoying a lovely sunset she took out cat for a walk on the beach
00:14:51
sand Panther s [Music] pan those were the last pictures she sent me of herself and she said I wish you were
00:15:03
here and I will forever wish that I was there too Christy Hilda and a friend who does
00:15:10
not want to be identified had planned a girl's night out they kicked it off at the Soho House in West Hollywood then
00:15:18
moved on to a warehouse party after midnight where these photos were taken this cell phone video posted on
00:15:26
social media shows Hilda and christe dancing in the VIP section in a area which is more protected and safer to be
00:15:34
in by then Yan had gone to bed when he woke up the next morning it was now Saturday November 13th he saw that
00:15:43
christe had texted him I texted her back and sort of didn't hear anything from her at first he just assumed she was
00:15:50
sleeping in but after a few hours with no word he noticed something strange they shared locations on their phones
00:15:59
I saw that she was at a location that I didn't recognize her phone was located at
00:16:05
8641 West Olympic Boulevard so a little orange flag at the back of your head I still hadn't heard back from her and I
00:16:13
saw her location had suddenly moved to hospital I called the hospital they told me that she was in the emergency room
00:16:22
and at that point like I'm in raw Panic Yan raced to the airport to catch a flight back to
00:16:31
LA I call her parents let them know that something terrible had happened and that
00:16:36
she's in the emergency room and then her mom called the emergency room and called me back probably 5 minutes
00:16:48
later uh letting me know that christe had passed away in less than 24 hours your world
00:16:55
was turned upside down shattered Yan went straight to the hospital Christian Hilda's friend who had been at
00:17:06
the warehouse party with them but left early was already here she had been desperately trying to get in touch with
00:17:12
Hilda but could not reach her they were about to find out why she got a call from a different
00:17:21
hospital like 2 hours later saying that he'll did was just checked in then and then like obviously all our La
00:17:28
balls are going off in our heads when both girls are dropped off at two different hospitals 2 hours apart like
00:17:34
something terrible happened that [Music] night like and Yan believed whatever happened took place at that mysterious
00:17:45
address on Olympic Boulevard he put it on Instagram asking for help you blast out this address and very
00:17:56
quickly you get responses yeah what are the those responses that there's somebody that lives at this location
00:18:01
that is a very unsavory person um that there's a lot of stuff out on the internet about him his name was David
00:18:08
Pierce Hilda and Christie were believed to have met him for the first time at the warehouse party David Pierce flew
00:18:16
under the radar for a long time but his past was about to catch up with him as he faces serious charges says former
00:18:24
prosecutor Mary fanti so at best a man at worst a criminal a sexual predator a drug dealer
00:18:35
a murderer a murderer learn more about how Yan uncovered clues in the deaths of his
00:18:45
wife Christie and her friend Hilda at 48 [Music] hours.com as Hilda Marcella lay in a
00:18:58
hospital bed fighting for her life in La Dusty and Leslie Giles were preparing to bury their daughter christe in
00:19:08
Alabama half her ashes would go to Yan to scatter in the places they loved Dusty placed the rest in an N
00:19:18
inside a butterfly box and gently wrapped it in the wedding dress she never had the chance to
00:19:24
wear it was important cuz I know how happy she she was when she found it she swirled like a princess literally
00:19:34
in it within hours of Christy's death detectives on the case were following Clues from Christy herself her pinging
00:19:47
phone had led them straight to the apartment of this man David Pierce 8641 West Olympic Boulevard please drive
00:19:56
over there oh my God there's the car boom there's the car same car tell says police believed it was the
00:20:04
same black Prius with no license plates that Dro chrisy off at the hospital and it's like okay I think we have our man
00:20:13
they retraced the movements of the women that night which would become the basis
00:20:17
of a police affidavit when they comb through those pictures from the party at the warehouse there was David pierce
00:20:24
with Hilda partying it up in the VIP section it sounds like VIP access gave David Pierce instant credibility
00:20:32
absolutely it's all part of the manipulation he must be a good guy he's in the VIP
00:20:39
section it was likely all part of a plan to meet women a plan that included drugs
00:20:44
says the retired detective based on the witnesses statements and the police investigation David Pierce comes with a
00:20:52
bag of cocaine an ounce estimated and David Pierce came here to share it with whoever he could
00:21:03
meet according to Tellus cocaine is a hot ticket at these parties at least on that night even for Hilda and Christie
00:21:11
the police recovered this text exchange between the two women starting at 4:21 a.m. while still at the warehouse party
00:21:19
do you want Coke asks Hilda yes replies christe Hilda texted back I'm in the kitchen let's do a line according to the
00:21:29
police affidavit a witness observe peers provide what looked like cocaine to Giles and cabales who consumed
00:21:37
it police say half an hour later this surveillance video obtained by 48 Hours shows Hilda and Christy leaving with
00:21:45
David Pierce and two other men his roommate brand Osborne and their friend photographer Michael ansbach they all
00:21:53
get into Osborne's car at 5:11 a.m. according to the police affidavit surveillance video which has
00:22:01
not been released because of the ongoing investigation shows Osborne's car arriving here in front of the apartment
00:22:08
according to the affidavit several people got out of the vehicle and headed to the entrance of the
00:22:14
residence 19 minutes later at 5:30 a.m. christe sends from inside Pierce's Apartment A wide-eyed emoji text to
00:22:23
Hilda saying let's go Hilda replies I'll call an Uber 10 minutes away 13 minutes later according to the
00:22:33
affidavit a car believed to be the Uber pulls up after waiting 5 minutes it drives
00:22:41
away without christe and without Hilda how did you process that I mean it's just confirming my worst fears again
00:22:48
that they were there at that place against their will they didn't want to be there they wanted to
00:22:54
[Music] leave Mary fanti a former Federal prosecutor and defense attorney and CBS
00:23:02
News consultant has reviewed the police affidavit and court documents she says this text is an important piece of
00:23:10
evidence something or someone stopped them in their tracks because they never got out and they never
00:23:16
left no one knows exactly what went on inside that apartment for the next 13 hours but according to the affidavit a
00:23:24
neighbor heard someone in pain and moaning on and off during the hours of 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for reasons not
00:23:33
known the neighbor did not call police she's clearly in a distressed state that everyone seems to just be ignoring and
00:23:40
when I say everyone not just Pierce or Osborne but there's a third individual that appears to have been at that
00:23:46
apartment at least for part or all of the night and that's Michael ANS book whatever happened inside the apartment
00:23:52
was hidden from public view not so outside the apartment another key piece piece of evidence images captured on
00:24:01
security cameras but the cameras are in the adjacent building right next door pointing right in this direction being
00:24:09
able to C although Tellis has not seen the video the police affidavit describes it in detail at 4:19 in the afternoon 11
00:24:18
hours after they'd arrived at the apartment Pierce and Osborne are caught on camera carrying christe down the back
00:24:25
stairs it shows Pierce exit the door the back door looks in both directions making sure the coast is clear making
00:24:34
sure there's not going to be any witnesses that sees me carrying this body to my
00:24:41
car both men get into the Prius according to the affidavit the men are captured on security cameras trying to
00:24:49
disguise themselves you see them putting on a hat a mask and a hoodie and then they drive away and they drive to a
00:24:55
hospital Southern California medical center shortly after according to police ansbach leaves the residents carrying
00:25:02
bags of unknown items Pierce and Osborne return to the apartment to get Hilda they carry her partially clad body out
00:25:11
to the Prius and again they leave they don't go to the same hospital they go to a different hospital Kaiser Permanente
00:25:17
why not bring them at the same time to the same Hospital who knows they're trying to conceal their actions they're
00:25:24
trying to keep the police at Bay and they don't want it hit the radar and they do the same thing they
00:25:32
drop the body they tell the same story and then they take off without leaving their name their phone number or
00:25:38
anything to identify themselves with and Hilda what is her State at this point Hilda was still alive they got her to
00:25:45
the hospital and she was declared what we call brain dead how did you process that when you
00:25:51
heard that news the worst day of my life after almost 2 weeks on life support it
00:26:18
was time for Hilda Marcel's family to say goodbye Hough what were your final moments with your
00:26:26
daughter there were so hard you know and I just was asking God to not let her suffer
00:26:37
more I remember telling her that you can leave and just thanking her for being my
00:26:50
sister I told her babbe when I pass away I will see you again and I gave you a big hug a
00:27:05
kiss the family decided to donate Hilda Marcel's organs her mom remembers the medical staff lining the Halls as the
00:27:14
family accompanied Hilda to the O the medical team was clapping to honor her to say thank you
00:27:24
for giving life to others Hilda Marcella cabales was pronounced dead one day before her 27th
00:27:34
birthday back in montere Mexico her friends gathered to remember her all dressed in white at her favorite Park we
00:27:44
brought her favorite thing to drink and her favorite cake at first we were crying but at some
00:27:53
point we put her favorite music on and we just started dancing and we we were laughing and hugging and it was
00:28:06
beautiful I felt like she was there 3 weeks after Hilda's death a break in the case police have arrested
00:28:15
three men in connection with the deaths of a model and her friend lastar David Pierce 39 brand Osborne 42 and Michael
00:28:23
ansbach 47 were arrested in connection to Hilda and chrisy deaths but not officially charged Osborne on the left
00:28:32
and ansbach were eventually released but not Pierce he was held on four unrelated
00:28:39
sexual assault charges new tonight A Beverly Hills man has been charged with sexually assaulting four different women
00:28:47
when this case hit the media more victims showed up I know that guy he did this to me the prosecution is alleging
00:28:54
in cases dating back to 2010 that Pierce lured four different Jane do to his apartment and gave all but one a special
00:29:03
drink causing them to get dizzy or black out the allegations include forcible rape sexual penetration with a foreign
00:29:12
object having sex with someone who's unconscious Erica Bergman who also goes by Erica Poe is not one of the Jane Do's
00:29:22
but she says she was so traumatized by Pierce she tried to warn other women about him on a Blog called the dirty as
00:29:29
far back as 2013 she discovered she had a lot of company there's a lot of commonalities
00:29:36
in our stories Erica says she met Pierce at a low point in her life she was getting a divorce and money was
00:29:44
tight initially she says she was taken in by him he would talk a lot about celebrities that he knew and introduced
00:29:52
himself as a producer for Paramount Pictures so he was really large than life kind of personality but she says it
00:30:01
didn't take long for her to realize that pierce who often introduced himself as Dave from Paramount Pictures lied he
00:30:09
never worked at the movie studio David Pierce is a very bad person Erica believes that one night he drugged her
00:30:19
she slept till 400 p.m. the next day and woke up feeling strange and groggy and Dave is bouncing around the room kind of
00:30:28
laughing and Giddy and he started to tell me how while I was passed out he had assaulted me while I was sleeping
00:30:36
sexually assaulted me and the things that he had done to me and it was incredibly
00:30:41
degrading Erica says she wanted to leave but felt trapped she says he threatened
00:30:47
to send compromising pictures to her estranged husband whom she was battling in divorce court she reluctantly stayed
00:30:55
but says the violence only got worse he slam my head onto the the marble floor and the sound in my ears was like an egg
00:31:02
cracking and I can't get that sound out of my ears Erica says she was too scared
00:31:08
to press charges but soon left for good then it all came rushing back when she heard about christe and Hilda my first
00:31:17
gut instinct was that this was not an accident that he had his name all over it in May of 2022 the prosecution added
00:31:27
three more accounts of sexual assault against David Pierce we've added three additional sexual assault charges with
00:31:34
three additional victims and there was more 40-year-old David Pierce has been charged with murder in connection with
00:31:41
the women's deaths after a 7-month investigation the da had enough evidence to indict David
00:31:48
Pierce on two counts of murder claiming David Pierce gave chrisy and Hilda lethal amounts of fentanyl a deadly
00:31:56
synthetic opioid druged dealers often mix with other drugs unbeknown to the user it took months before David Pierce
00:32:05
was charged with murder what was your reaction I mean definitely a relief but also very
00:32:11
sad the police did not find any fentanyl lace drugs in Pearson Osborne's apartment just drug paraphernalia but
00:32:20
Osborne who has been charged as an accessory to murder after the fact may have unwittingly explained why according
00:32:27
to the police affidavit Osborne told co-workers if cops had found the drugs hidden underneath the cash inside the
00:32:34
car they would have been in big trouble not finding fentanyl Ace drugs creates a big challenge for the
00:32:42
prosecution says fan they're going to have to prove that David Pierce gave the girls these drugs and he knew at the
00:32:50
time that it could harmed them and he did so with conscious disregard so they're going to have to prove that
00:32:57
David Pierce intended to kill these young women and that's not an easy threshold to
00:33:03
overcome especially in light of witness statements that the women were doing drugs willingly cocaine at the warehouse
00:33:10
and earlier in the evening as well friends told police Christy and Hilda both had taken cocaine and ketamine a
00:33:18
popular club drug how does this work in the defense's favor because fentanyl is a problem in this country and people are
00:33:26
dying from fentanyl that they take recreationally because they believe that they're only taking cocaine if you're
00:33:32
the defense that's the point you want to continue to drive home is how do you hold these two men responsible for an
00:33:38
epidemic that's really plaguing the entire country that does not mean it will be an
00:33:44
easy defense says Josh Ritter the former Los Angeles assistant DA is advising Yan
00:33:49
on legal issues and is now a practicing defense attorney the problems that they're going to have though is how do
00:33:55
you get around how those girls were treated afterwards and how do you get around the history that this man has and
00:34:02
how do you get around the fact that christe had the so-called date rape drug GHB in her system is GHB is the date
00:34:10
rape drug something these women would have taken knowingly absolutely not that is a drug that's usually used by sexual
00:34:17
predators guys that want to take advantage of women and don't want them to remember or know about
00:34:23
it Hilda and Christie were still coherent at at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning when they exchanged that text
00:34:32
about calling an Uber the text punctuated with a white-eyed Emoji something happened inside those 10
00:34:38
minutes between them calling the Uber and the Uber leaving that incapacitated them according to the timeline in the
00:34:49
affidavit christe remained in that apartment for the next 11 hours Hilda for 13 with one of them according to a
00:34:58
neighbor moaning and groaning in pain most of the day these two women could still be alive
00:35:07
had David Pierce or Mr Osborne called 911 three digits on a phone that could have changed everything
00:35:17
[Music] if found guilty of all charges against him David Pierce could face 128 years to
00:35:41
life in prison what is David Pierce currently charged with David Pierce is charged with 11 counts seven counts of
00:35:49
drugging and sexually assaulting forcibly raping Andor sodomizing several women two counts of murder and two
00:35:57
counts of providing uh a controlled substance that being fentanyl in a bold decision the state
00:36:04
will combine the sexual assault and murder charges in one trial why include sexual assault charges
00:36:12
in a murder case if you look at this case in its totality mean this is David Pierce's Mo he lur women back to his
00:36:20
apartment he provides them with a drink and then they start to feel dizzy or they black out and he sexually assaults
00:36:27
them while christe and Hilda's autopsy stated there was no physical or sexual trauma
00:36:33
nurses who treated Hilda noted slight bleeding in her vagina and a review of her sexual assault examination found a
00:36:41
small abrasion I know this is a difficult conversation do you think Hilda and Christie were potentially raped that
00:36:52
night of course I believe that that's the reason they why they druged them Josh Ritter believes the testimony of
00:36:59
the women who were allegedly drugged and raped by Pierce will help dur see a dangerous pattern of behavior their
00:37:07
testimon is going to be huge one woman perhaps the defense can poke holes and that two women it begins to sound like
00:37:14
is this really a coincidence or not but three or four women or more and you realize you're dealing with a with a
00:37:23
monster it turns out David Pierce had been on the police radar for years according to the police affidavit he was
00:37:31
arrested in 2014 for sexual assault along with an additional rape case but these cases are often difficult to prove
00:37:40
and were ultimately rejected by the District Attorney's Office something christe's sister Misty
00:37:47
finds unforgivable to know that he had been arrested and had been released is just appalling to me
00:37:57
[Music] it's really sad that two beautiful girls had to die in order for him to be in jail right
00:38:08
now David Pierce has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him Walter osor brand Osborne who is charged as an
00:38:18
accessory to murder after the fact has also pleaded not guilty and is out on bail we caught up with him outside of
00:38:25
court do you have any comments I have no comment I'm innocent Pierce's lawyer also had no
00:38:33
comment but at the time of the incident Pierce told detectives at the end of the
00:38:37
day I didn't do anything wrong I just tried to make the situation you know right so far the prosecution has
00:38:47
declined to charge Michael ansbach 48 Hours has learned that he's cooperating with prosecutors and will likely testify
00:38:55
against his two friends but until the case goes to trial Dusty and Leslie Giles thanks to a social
00:39:04
media campaign will be at every court hearing Never Letting David Pierce forget that chrisy was more than just a
00:39:16
name on a court docket she was a real person she was a daughter a sister a grand
00:39:28
daughter she was her daddy's best friend I miss my daughter well we love you in Mexico Hilda Marcella's friends
00:39:44

00:39:53
diploma so she wasn't just smart she was the top of her class she was the top of the
00:40:00
top a dog named Tomas who now lives with a lot the love we have for Mar it's going to Tomas he reminds us about her
00:40:12

00:40:21

00:40:41
way Hilda and Christie's families hope the deaths of these young friends will not be in
00:40:50
vain she's here this is a tragedy but maybe this was the way to stop them that's the only Justice we can
