:bump: Thank you Danse_Macabre for linking the updated articles. Hopefully these women can be identified by the pictures, and they are alive and well.
The link to the article with this video has been posted (Thank you Danse_Macabre) but for those who only have 37 seconds and want to get really creeped out
here you go.
It is Lorenzo Montoya's video police found in his home.
Listen to the sound of tape.

Hello everyone,
I have a research question I'd like some help with. Anyone game?
As we know, West Mesa suspect Lorenzo Montoya was shot and killed in December of 2006. Almost all of the stories I've read say that Montoya was found dragging prostitute Shericka Hill towards his car (some stories say he was stuffing her into the trunk) when he was discovered and shot in the leg by Fredrick Williams (her pimp) and died of his injuries.
Here's an example:

However, an article published the day after the incident states that Williams shot at Montoya outside of his trailer because Montoya also had a gun and Williams felt "threatened". Williams then went inside the trailer and found Hill dead.

What I'm looking for is something that shows me where the story changes from what was reported in the article from 2006 to the version we're more familiar with. Was Hill inside or outside? Was Montoya dragging her toward his vehicle when Williams approached him, or was he outside his trailer without the body when Williams arrived on the scene?
If anyone can point me to something that helps clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated.

It seems recently (in interviews Ida Lopez has done in 2022 - Duke City Case Files being one) - it seems she's deliberately trying to steer listeners away from the idea that it's Lorenzo Montoya. But what did she tell you that made you believe she thought it was him back when they were interviewing your family?You guys are all on the money, Lorenzo Montoya was definitely the West Mesa killer and its kind of a shame he'll never be brought to justice but at least hes dead and the streets are a little safer. Nothings 100% but after our many raids and inviews with detective Ida Lopez im fairly confident it was him.
