#4  From Skidmark’s Daily Mail link:

Luna said Medina came to the attention of investigators after a tipster contacted police to report that Medina was 'acting strange, irrational, and making comments about the bishop owing him money.'

A neighbor told the Los Angeles Daily News that Medina was an 'odd person' who was up at all hours of the night to dig in his yard. 'Always on the go, in a rush, and digging stuff,' said the neighbor, Marty Hernandez.

Another neighbor, Luis Lopez, told the newspaper that Medina was a 'good man' and 'always talkative,' adding that though he had quirks, such as obsessively washing his car, even in the rain, he never showed a tendency to violence.


It sounds like the killer was mentally unstable. Moving to Lurid Crime on Page 3: Non-WoT.
