He's in custody with a $2M bail. I live not to far from where it happened. She was married to a close friends cousin and a few other friends worked with her.

Was arrested earlier this year but the site doesn't show what for. Also has had two DV cases in the past six years.

Edited because there are several legal issues involving this criminal defendant. Looks as if the most recent ones are DV related and before that, a divorce from a third woman.

I initially read it wrong and thought the divorced partner was also the DV victim - but it's not clear (still possible, even likely).

I believe one of them was his ex. The most recent case is a sexual assault case

Prosecutors revealed in court Tuesday that Aguilar was found with multiple stab wounds to her neck and chest, in addition to severe burns on her face.

Authorities accuse Switalski of murdering Aguilar while he was free on bond after being arrested in connection with an unrelated sexual assault case.

I'm trying to get the backstory on this guy in order.

The uncle said Veronica had been in a romantic relationship for roughly a year and that he knew little about the man.

Switalski is a former Northrop Grumman employee, and KABC-TV reported that he worked at the defense company until May. He was, according to LinkedIn, a program, cost and schedule controller and had worked for the company since 2010. In the spring, court records show, Switalski was arrested and charged with several counts of rape and sexual misconduct with a romantic partner. After being arraigned in June, he was released on $600,000 bail, according to court records.

The house is listed to Matthew Switalski, 37, a bible school graduate who works as a cost controller at aerospace company Northrop Grumman. Neighbors on the 41400 block said he rented out several rooms in the five-bedroom home to company
employees, none of whom appear to have been at home at the time of the fire.
Uncle says Veronica was in a relationship with MS for about a year. He was arrested for rape in May. Did Veronica know about the arrest and his job loss?

Was she originally one of the five he rented out a room to and they became romantically involved? Did she know he was seeing other women?

The length of their relationship was something I didn't know about. I just assumed they hadn't been together for all that long. If they were together for a year, how could she not know he was arrested and lost his job unless he's the world greatest liar in many ways.

There are a couple of pictures of them here - Log into Facebook
Date on the first is 10/21/23, but she's not very active on her page. The little girl in the photo's is her sister :(

Horrible. Particularly horrendous death.
Idk if I have seen 10mil bail before. Especially heinous, like SVU says.

So young, had her whole life ahead of her. I wonder if she had custody of little sister. My God that kid will have to be in therapy the rest of her life. I will pray for her.

So sick of evil men doing evil things. It's like they cannot just leave, they have to maim or kill them to prove some ridiculous point!!! It makes me sick. I don't understand.

RIP beautiful girl.

Wow. I would not continue being with my partner if he was arrested and charged with such crimes. There had to be some evidence for that, because it is hard to get rape charges to stick, for many people.

That is what I'm trying to figure out? I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to hide for a while. Maybe she found out and that's what precipitated her murder, who knows.

I'm still trying to figure out why the neighbor who heard a "blood curdling scream" at 2 AM, didn't immediately call 911?

Maybe they were "casually dating" at first and she didn't know about the charges? Maybe he said he was on vacay? They only started posting pics together in Oct (known as making it official to some)

About the scream, I so agree. What time did the police actually come?
 
  • #14
Maybe they weren't even dating, and she simply rented from him?

Nortrop Grumman is an aerospace technology company. Does anyone know what he did there?

Police said neither the owner or any of the residents had yet come forward.

'We're trying to get in contact with all the residents,' Lt Vizcarra told KTLA 5.

'It's very unsettling to know that it's down the street,' said the neighbor.

Man... these people had to have heard or seen something with this couple, because there's No way this man's first act of vioelnce against her was putting her in a trunk and setting the house on fire

He was an accountant there (cost controller)

Maybe SHE'S the woman who pressed charges on him?? And she came back? Idk just a potential possiblty.

DailyMail posted photo of them together. He gives me the creeps

That very well could be. Given his violent history with women, it's definitely in the realm of possibilities.

Yeah that's one thing I didn't get is why they didn't call.

I believe it was a different woman in the SA case.
