A decision made in Oct ‘02 continues to impact many lives. Gloria’s untimely death, at the age of 17, has left a pain that after 7 years, continues to torment the family every waking hour. The relative assigned the task of identifying the mutilated body laying in the cold morgue, after being shot, strangled, and dragged a few miles summed it up as the worst experience of his life. Imagine if this was you, identifying your mom, dad, tia, or best friend? I will spare you the details but parts of Gloria’s skin were scattered, and probably remain, throughout Turnbull Canyon. Please say a prayer for Gloria, whenever you travel through the area, and keep the essence of her spirit alive. By the same token, remember the grieving relatives and friends of Abraham, Matthew, and Victor by helping out a troubled youth. Do something to help them turn their life around, and tell them that they matter. Who knows, you may save a life through this act, and Gloria’s death would not have been in vain. Matthew, Abraham, and Victor were responsible for ending Gloria’s life but as a society did we fail Gloria and these men by possibly neglecting them in some way? What happened in their young life that led them to make those awful decisions, on that October weekend, that led to this tragedy? Was there remorse? What were Gloria’s last pleas when she realized her life was coming to an end? We must all face death at some point in our life, but our lil Gloria faced brutality. I take comfort in the fact she’s rejoycing in Heaven. We should take a look at the young people in your family and circle of friends…is there someone you identify as possibly having a similar fate? Do something to keep them from ending up in a cold empty morgue or a cold hopeless jail cell – there isn’t much of a difference! In the end, I saw nothing but anger, pain, and tears on both sides of the courtroom, as a result of a decision made in October ‘02. May God have mercy on our souls!

the only people who think these animals are not guilty must be some one who cares about them. because its to hard to belive someone u love could do such a crime. but guess what they did.its hard for all the family and friens who were in volved in this case to go on with thier lives but we all have to take one day at a time. everyone lost someone in this case. but the only difference is that some of this people could still see and speak to thier loved ones unlike the gaxiola family. they only got memories. thats not fare for them.if these guys were so innocent why didnt they show any intrest on fighting for thier innocents all they would do is look around and scribble on paper.they proubly writing letters to thier loved one’s something gloria will never get to do ever again.the family of this animals hasnt even tried saying sorry to the gaxiola family all they could do is give dirty looks if like they put these animals behind bars.

Real life is nothing like the tv show-CSI. The fact is– real life is like the case we all just lived through and the trial we all just sat through. As for forensic evidence which includes DNA- well since this case took 5yrs to solve- there isn’t any. Five years is a long time. Too long for DNA or any other forensic evidence. So, you have to build a case using other evidence. The evidence in this case was very good. None of the expert witnesses contradicted the main witnesses. The coroner. the firearms expert and the biological fluids and tissue all backed up the testimony of the other witnesses. The testimony of Sgt.MacDonald backed up one of the witnesses. And made a sister of one of the defendants a liar. The jury weighed the evidence and the witness testimony and then and only then made their decision. None of the people seated in the audience section- family, friends, interested persons, convicted anybody. That was the jury. Not the detective. The jury. I would imagine that the family and friends of those convicted will never believe that they are guilty. I also believe that the family and friends of Gloria are convinced that there has at long last been justice for Gloria.

Today justice has been heard loud and clear!
My sister Gloria can finally rest! The three “monsters” will finally pay the price. Even though there’s no price that can bring her back to me/us. Forever a piece will be missing from our lives. I never got a chance to get to know my sister Gloria, I will never geta chance to experience her charm and pretty smile. I will always hate them for taking that from me. To my sister Angie and brother Jesse…I love you! You know that Gloria loves you guys and is so thankful for your strength and courage through this hard time. She will always be watching over you!
