So we got We're waiting for the press conference. We'll
(01:49):
have that immediately. But man, what a weekend at sant Anita.
We had given out tickets about two hundred and thirty
two dred and forty people, and I can't tell you
without exception, how every single one of the people I
emailed got their address, sent them tickets, and then I
(02:11):
text I emailed everybody on Friday night to make sure
they got their tickets, and all but four people did
get their tickets, and the four people that didn't, I
offered them tickets for the future or I said, hey,
I'll put you on the on the will call list
for tomorrow and you can come on in. And I
made sure that they all got in. Everybody had a
great time. It was a fantastic day at Santa Anita.
(02:35):
Man let's say you were. You got a lot of
pics of the of the number one horse for some reason. Yeah,
I got that was a journalism. That was the horse,
the big horse that won the sant Anita Derby. And
it was like the old It was like the old
days at sant Anita. There must have been thirty five
or forty thousand people out there. Did you have the
Did you have a bet on that horse?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I don't bet the favorites, which is why I typically
don't walk away with my That was the favorite. Yeah,
it was the favorite. And so I don't like betting favorites,
you know. You know, you bet two dollars and you
get two dollars and forty cents back, It's like who cares?
So the return's just not worth it, that's right. Yeah,
And any horse can, you know, win on any given day.
And I just hate, I hate rooting for favorites, you know.
(03:19):
Oh yeah, I'm with you. You know, people screaming, absolutely screaming, what.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Did you have?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I had two dollars to show on journalism? Well what'd
you get back to? Ten? So you put up two
bucks to get two dollars and ten cents back? Yep,
I enjoyed it. And then over the weekend we had
two radical crashes. These kids, these twenty somethings, they keep
driving fast with a car full of people, and they
(03:46):
keep crashing, and it up ends a lot of lives. Man,
your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, your family,
your friends, your grandparents. Nobody will ever be the same
when you take a car and you're you and your
dumb buddies. And when I was younger, me and my
(04:07):
dumb buddies did the same thing. But man, I wish
I could get to those kids that do that, because
when you slide into a tree doing one hundred and
ten miles an hour, you never win. And the biggest
losers are the families. The families have to go on
with their lives. They still got to go to work,
they still got to feed their kids, they still got
(04:28):
to pay their bills. And now there's an empty seat
at Easter dinner, there's an empty seat for Father's Day
or Mother's Day. Thanksgiving comes around, there's an empty seat Christmas,
empty seat, and it ruins the family. It destroys great
(04:49):
tight knit families. Please do everything you can to get
out there and tell these kids to slow the f down.
It's not macho to drive around at one hundred and
twenty miles an hour. It's the exact opposite. When I
see somebody driving at one hundred and ten, you know,
doing ninety on the on the side streets, I think, Okay,
(05:11):
that guy's an a hole. That guy's an immature a
hole who has to show everybody that speed is king
and it's not dumb. People do that dummies.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I was one of them.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I drove fast when those kid I was dumb. And
as you get older, you slow down. As you get older,
you really slow down. Man. I was behind some my
ninety year old on the way to the track and
got almighty. He was on the freeway doing thirty five
miles an hour, and I gave my honker, hey, my
let's see it's the pedal on the right, you know
that kind of thing. Yeah, he didn't seem to care.
(05:47):
But living in California, you're gonna see these guys with
the high speed cars and the loud cars and the
crazy cars, and sometimes it ends in a horrible, horrible crowd.
And when it does, those people who are left behind
are not going to be the same. It happened in
Santa Anna over the weekend. It was terrible. It was terrible.
(06:10):
I hope it never happens again. But these poor families
that are left behind, they got to now pick up
the pieces and move on with their lives without their
loved ones.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Family and friends are remembering the young lives lost in
a car crash in Santa Anna. They continue to visit
the scene of the crash to leave flowers and candles
in their memory, including the father of two the victims.
The car with six people slammed into a tree Saturday night.
All of the all the kids were in teens and
early twenties.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Four were killed. One is identified Do you hear that?
Do you hear that? Twenties? Four were killed? Four were killed.
Four were killed.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
One is identified by the father as nineteen year old
Erie Roeblis. Her sister was rushed to the hospital along
with one more person. She's said to be in grave condition.
Their father wanting to address about the cause of the.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Accident alone, Yeah, well to the.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, where do you say? There's step? Can you pick
this up for us? Ready? Here we go, let's see
and now it alone? Oh that's heavy sling. I can't
pick that one. And maybe Richie knows. How about here, Richie,
let Richie try to tackle this one. Ready, here we go.
Now it s a loon. Yeah, well to then, yes.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
He was saying pretty much that the drivers were not
under the influence of alcohol and drugs, okay, and it
was just like a regular crash type thing, all right, excellent.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Ignatio Roeblaz says those in the car were not drinking
and they didn't do drugs, that they were good kids
and it was just an accident.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Police say the car was speeding.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
On cigars from Avenue when it crashed. The cause is
under investigation.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I see it all the time. There was a crash
in Burbank near our house. I was actually watering a
plant and I could see down the street and I
saw the accident happen. I heard the screeching of tires
and then bang, these two cars hit. This one Asian
woman t bone I think like a Russian guy. He
got out with a thick accent, and they both looked
(08:16):
at each other's cars. They're both damaged pretty good, and
they high fived each other, and right then a cop
pulled up. So the cop was the Burbank cop was there.
In ten seconds less than ten seconds. He must have
seen it happen, and he said, you got to exchange information.
And I heard one guy say, no, we're going. I'll
take care of my car. She'll take care of her car.
(08:36):
And the CoP's like, huh, your choice, and they and
the cop left. The car went one way. When a
car went one way, the other car went the other way.
And I guess you don't have to report a crash.
You know, if both parties agreed to fix their own car,
then you know, go do that. I hear it all
the time, man, I see crashes. When you remember when
you were a kid, you heard or saw one crash
(08:57):
in your life. Now you see them all the time,
all the time. We're getting we're worst drivers now than
we were forty to fifty six years ago. I don't
know the technology is better, but the guys sitting behind
the wheel not better, not better at all. All right,
we're waiting for this press conference from the district attorney
I call them Nathan Hawkman, And as soon as we
(09:19):
have that, we'll have also Michael Monks. And looks like
some grim news coming out with the thirteen year old.
It was murdered last week.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It's Conway Show. We're waiting for the press conference from
Nathan Hakman. As soon as we have that, we will
have that live on KFI. Live on KFI, So as
soon as that comes up, we'll bomb put that on NHL.
Over the weekend was interesting. The Dodgers went to the
White House. We got a lot going on. Let's talk
(09:54):
about the Dodgers going to the White House, and then
we'll have David Vassay on at four thirty five and
less we have that press commence, So there's a lot
that could happen here. We might be changing our plans.
But let's talk about the Dodgers going to the White
House to celebrate their twenty twenty four World Serious champ
championship over the New York Yankees World.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
Series champion Los Angeles. Dodgers were honored at the White
House this morning and they spoke about unity. That's despite
some calls for the team to stay home. More on
that in a moment, but the team gathered in the
East Room of the White House. Also show Heyo Tawi
snuck in a picture next to the Declaration of independence
in the Oval office. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called the
(10:38):
occasion a huge honor. President Trump spoke highly of the
team and praised their World Series victory.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
This Scattery report at the start of the series said
that the Dodgers could win by focusing on the fundamentals.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
You showed America that it's not about individual glorious about
the team, digging deep and sprinting right through to first base.
And you did that all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Superstars.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Moo, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Sprinting right through first base and you did that all
the time, Superstars.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Mookie Bets.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Is he good?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Mooky Bets, he's the best. He was there. He didn't
look he didn't look happy that he was there, but
he went. He didn't go in twenty nineteen when he
was with the Boston Red Sox and won a World Series.
But this year he said, hey, it's about the team.
It's not about me. I'm going, and he went.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
The President mentioned there it's not about the individual, but
the team, and that was behind Mookie BET's decision to
attend today's ceremony. He skipped a visit with Trump as
president when he won as a player on the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, it's like she's copying my script. He says.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
He regrets that said it was a distraction and he
didn't want to take away from the team. Some eighteen
hundred fans signed a change dot org petition begging the
team to reconsider their visit because they do not like
President and Trump's policies on illegal immigration and eliminating DEI requirements.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
The Dodgers. Look, the Dodgers are for everybody. You know,
the Dodgers have You know, they have Armenian Knight, they
have Jewish Knight, Catholic Knight, Christian Knight. I know they
have Pride Night. And they even had those nuns there,
the Nuns of perpetual is it nuns of perpetual motion?
(12:23):
What was the nuns that went there, Crozer, Nuns of
perpetual Ah. Man, I'm like Joe Biden Lls called Jay cool.
J uh what is it perpetual indulgence of the nuns
of perpetual indulgence? Yeah, okay, Well they have everybody out there,
(12:43):
and man, the Dodgers are great. I've been watching them
since the mid sixties, late sixties.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
Dodgers president Stan Castin told the La Times, this is
not political. This is the Dodgers getting the recognition they deserve.
Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw also spoke about unity at the ceremony.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
Clayton Kershaw, the selflessness and humility that each one of
these players and staff have shown over the last year
is truly an inspiration. They have constantly played, hurt, switched positions,
and taken the ball to put the team first. I
hope the twenty four Dodgers can serve as an inspiration
of many like they were to me, not just in sports,
but in life. Remembering to put others before ourselves. It
(13:25):
moves a team and a society.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
For Hey, Palio, maybe you can get a tip here.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Here we go, not just in sports, but in life,
remembering to put others before ourselves. How about that for
remembering to put others before ourselves? Anything for remembering to
put others before ourselves?
Speaker 11 (13:44):
Did I need to do that?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 11 (13:45):
I'm just saying I do that all this, Okay, Okay,
I think I need to learn the.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Opposite, oh of being more selfish. Yes, that's exactly right. Wow, man,
you didn't get anything out of this then, huh, all right, okay,
all right, Well, I'm just saying.
Speaker 10 (14:02):
Remembering to put others before ourselves.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
You think of everyone around here, That's right. I need
that lesson not I'm just saying that we all do.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And you know, I think I think I think lives
that more than any Oh, without a doubt, me, without
a doubt.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
Without uh, you are thoughtful and generous.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Thank you very much, thank you, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
It moves moves the team and a society forward.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
Curso then presented President Trump with an honorary forty seven
jersey as the band played we are the Champions, and
they took a team photo. The Dodgers are now nine
and two. They were in Philly last night.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
They lost. They lost to Philly after coming back from
six to two when I had six, seven to six.
Then they lost well.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Later this month, the Philadelphia Eagles will be at the
White House to be honored for their Super Bowl win
earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Okay, so big, big to do at the White House
and that was a big deal. David Vassa will be
coming on with us. He was at the White House
with them. I mean, look, this this kid who grew
up in Thousand Oaks, huge Dodger fan, had an opportunity
to work with the Dodgers at one point, then became
an employee where he traveled with the Dodgers, and now
(15:20):
he's at the White House with the Dodgers. What a
full life David Vassay has had from being a young
punk in Thousand Oaks to growing up and traveling to
the White House with the Los Angeles Dodgers without having
ever picked up a bat or thrown a pitch. And
yet he was at the White House. Pelly, do you
(15:41):
remember did he get a ring? David Vassa Did they
offer him a ring?
Speaker 11 (15:45):
I want to say yes, Okay, then go ahead, yes,
that's great.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
All right, welcome back and talk to David Assay. We're
also waiting for a press conference with Nathan Hawkman. So
he got a serious story and a non serious story
coming out, and we'll try to deliver both those for
you so you can have more knowledge. That's why we're here.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 12 (16:12):
All right, we're gonna jump right in here, step let's
go and pull it down. We're gonna do this press
conference again about the arrest of the thirteen year old
talker Nations charges.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Looks like it is just getting underway. Let's listen in up.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Here with me.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Were joined by Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonald, Los
Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. Also at the podium is
FBI Special Agent in Charge Ted dos Lapg, Assistant Chief
Blake chow Lapd Deputy Chief Head of Detectives Allen Hamilton.
From the District Attorney's office. We had Ted Deputy Major

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Also with me directly to my left or.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Oscar Hernandez's sister Alejandra Hernandez, his mother Gladys Baoutista, and
Oscar's father, Oscar Daniel Hernandez. Today I'm announcing the charge
(17:19):
of murder with special circumstances against Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino,
who's forty three years old. Mister Garcia Arceno murdered thirteen
year old Oscar Omar Hernandez on March twenty eighth, twenty
(17:40):
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And when I say that charges have been brought.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I want to make it clear that charges themselves are
not evidence that a defendant is presumed innocent until and
or less proven guilty in a court of law. The
charges allege that Mario Edgardo Garcia a Keno on that
date of March twenty eight, twenty twenty five, murdered Omar
Hernandez in Lancaster. Mister Garcia a Keno was his soccer coach,
(18:09):
and on that day Omar Hernandez went up to Lancaster
to see mister Garcia Alqino. Two days later he was
reported missing, and on April second, twenty twenty five, last week,
his body was found in Oxnard, off the road near
Leo Correo State Beach. We have also announcing the charges
(18:34):
again separate charges against mister Garcia Arceno from a February
twenty second, twenty second, twenty twenty four felony of assault
with intent to commit a lewd act against a different individual,
a sixteen year.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Old young man in Palmdale.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Mister Garcia Aquino faces at least life without the possibility
of parole on the murder charge and six years in
prison with respect to the felony count.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Of assault with intent to commit a lewd act.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
These cases are tragic, and the Hernandez family you have
our deepest sympathy for a loss that words cannot even
begin to describe. All role, though, is to bring justice
to this family and to hold the person responsible for
these brutal, heinous, unspeakable, unthinkable acts, hold them accountable, and
(19:41):
prosecute and punish them to the full extent of the law. Now,
as part of this investigation, we are asking that there are,
if there are any potential victims of mister Garcia Arquino
and they're out there, that we have put his picture
(20:02):
out with our press release Pussible Option, and we are
asking anyone with information or any victims to come forward
to the Los Angeles Police Department's Juvenile Division Abused Child
Unit and they can call eight one eight three seven
four five four one five or the Los Angeles County
(20:23):
Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau at eight seven seven seven
ten five two seven three, And if anyone wants to
come forward nominally anonymously, they can come forward by phone
to the Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at eight
hundred two two two eight four seven seven. I'd like
(20:48):
to now introduce Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna to
say some words.
Speaker 13 (20:56):
Thank you, mister Hawkman, and good afternoon to everybody being
up here. Presenting this information is never easy, but on
behalf of the men and women of the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department, very sorry for your loss. Lossentimos Muncho
let to look at us on I'm here today specifically
(21:18):
seeking additional victims on a child sexual abuse case involving
forty three year old Mario Garcia Aquino from the Palmdale area.
Garcia Aquino was a youth travel soccer coach with a
Hurricane Valley Boys soccer club in the Silmar area, working
(21:41):
with different age divisions. He had no reported criminal history.
In February of twenty twenty four, Garcia Aquino befriended a
Silmar family who allowed their juvenile son to stay with
him at his residence in Palmdale. The family subsequently filed
(22:02):
a criminal report with the Palmdale Sheriff Station alleging sexual
abuse of their child. This case was assigned to the
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau North team,
who is tasked with investigating both physical and sexual abuse
of children, including adult felonists sexual assaults. During the investigation
(22:29):
and while working with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's
Office office from the Antelope Valley Courthouse, detectives learned that
there was another unrelated child sexual abuse case being handled
by the Los Angeles Police Department's Foothill Division involving Garcia Aquino.
On April second, twenty twenty five, the new information from
(22:53):
both the Sheriff's Department and the police department cases, the
District Attorney's Office filed one felony count of assault with
intent to commit a sexual offense on Mario Garcia Aquino.
Based on the nature of the offenses, Special Victims Bureau
detectives believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with information
(23:18):
regarding this case, or who believes that they may have
been a victim, is urged to contact the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau at eight seven seven
seven one zero five to two, seven to three, or
you can contact any of your local Sheriff's stations. I
(23:42):
just want to make an additional comment to that because
We're really urging anybody in the public, once you see
the photos of this individual, that if you may have
been a victim, please come forward.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I know it's not easy.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
I know it could be either embarrassing you don't want
to tell somebody, but it's very important that we bring
justice not only to the family here to my left,
but any families that may have.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Been victimized by this.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
And I want to add an additional comment that if
for some reason anybody fears coming forward, even as a
youth or a family, because you may be here undocumented,
We're not going to ask about that.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Please you need to come forward.
Speaker 13 (24:35):
We will assist you, whether it's our department, the Los
Angeles Police Department, the LA County District Attorney's office, any
of us are going.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
To wrap our arms around.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
You and make sure that you get the appropriate services,
We guide you the right way, and we protect you
as well.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah, I'd like to call up a Los Angele Police
Department Chief Jim McDonald.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
Thank you very much, and good afternoon, and thank you
for your continued attention and coverage on this deeply tragic case.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Before I begin, I want.
Speaker 14 (25:12):
To just take a moment to acknowledge the profound loss
endured by the.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Family of oscar Omar Hernandez.
Speaker 14 (25:18):
On behalf of the Los Angeles Police Department, I extend
our deepest condolences, and while no words can lessen their grief,
please know that we're fully committed to pursuing justice for
their son. I'd also like to extend my appreciation to
our partners whose combined efforts led to today's charges.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Thank you to the District Attorney.
Speaker 14 (25:37):
The FBI, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Ventura County
Sheriff's Department, and the Ventura County Coroner for the help
that they provided. I also want to particularly thank LAPD's
Robbery Homicide Division and LAPD's Major Crimes Division for the time, patience,
and expertise that they dedicated to this case. While we
all hoped for a different outcome, their hard work has
(26:00):
helped ensure that this dangerous individual is no longer a
threat to the public. When this case, this was a
missing person's case that RhD picked up and put everything
they had into it, brought in major crimes and the resources.
With all of our partners here left no stone unturned
and so I'm thankful for the collaboration that we see
(26:20):
here in the ability that we have to be able
to mobilize on a case like this that is so
tragic and to be able to get some level of closure.
And as Sheriff Luna mentioned, I share the same sentiments.
If anybody is a victim out there, please come forward.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
There are no.
Speaker 14 (26:38):
Obstacles and we will treat it as sensitively as it
needs to be treated. But justice should be served in
this so I won't go into the details of the
case that's already been talked over here, but any questions
you have, I'll kick it back to the district attorney.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Thank you all.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
So we will now take myself share Luna and Chief
McDonald will now take questions. After we're done taking questions,
Maria Ramirez, where are you over there? For the Spanish media.
Maria Ramirez will then give a brief overview of what
we've been doing and then takes questions in Spanish as well.
Speaker 15 (27:17):

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Not at this press conference.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
LUs Celiaca maayeto with CBSKKEL question for Sheriff Luna or

Speaker 2 (27:46):
And that's in Palmdale.
Speaker 15 (27:48):
Well, can you tell us about the circumstances surrounding the
arrest with their cooperation?

how the individual was a arrested so quickly in some
respects after the March twenty eighth murder, those investigative techniques
will be discussed in the appropriate court when we present
the additional evidence that shows that mister Garcia A Kino

committed this murder, as well as the additional ACTXIT of which.
Speaker 15 (28:17):
He is at his home. Jo District Attorney. Where was
he arrested? Where is he taking into customer?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I believe it. I'll check if I might.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
With let Chie Hamilton, Good afternoon, Alan Hamilton, Chief Detective
lped He was taken into custody in the city of
Los Angeles, and he was then subsequently transferred to the
custody of the Sheriff's department.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
Was he at work, Allen, He was not at work.
When it comes to talking about additional victims, do those
of additional victims include perhaps missing children who you fear
may have met a similar demise.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
We don't predetermine who the additional victims of this particular
defendant are, but we're by putting his picture out there
and having this press conference as well, and hopefully using
the tools that you'll be able to use to get
our message out far and wide. We are seeking anyone
who recognizes this particular individual as someone that victimized them
(29:18):
to come forward to law enforcement, whether again they want
to come forward anonymously, come forward to any police department
or sheriff station, or or use the call in numbers.
Speaker 15 (29:28):
But are we looking at potential missing children cases that
possibly could be linked to this.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
Sure, we're looking at everything, and that's why it's kind
of unique for it's the District attorney's press conference, but
you see us up here in partnership with the LAPD,
with the FBI. We're working with every agency and that's
why we're really pleading with the community that if you
know anything, you've heard anything, or maybe you think somebody's
(29:56):
missing or loved ones missing. Call us check, let us
check all the information. You have the most amazing detectives
from all of our agencies that are capable, very capable,
and they'll all be working on it.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
I'm just trying to interpret this is I'm just looking
at him, Lay Tucks.
Speaker 16 (30:14):
Okay, you have been listening into a press conference from
La County District Attorney Nathan.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
Yes seems going on around and that has been, like
you said, La County DA Nathan Hawkman, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell.
You heard La County Sheriff Robert Luna and Chief of
Detectives there Alan Hamilton all talking about the charges of
murder charges against Mario Garcia Aquino, who was arrested last
week on separate unrelated assault charges. But they've now announced
(30:40):
that they're going to bring charges murder charges against Garcia
Kino for the death of a thirteen year old Oscar
Omara Hernandez. We'll get more details as they come in,
but that's it for now. I think we have a
list quad and took a break.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I think we we're gonna go with the Monks here,
Michael Monks. Monks, We got monks here. Michael Monks has
been on this case. About three or four days ago.
I contacted somebody in law enforcement and said, Hey, what's
going on with this thirteen year old this poor boy
that was killed? And they said, this is gonna be
(31:23):
a big story. Turns out he was right. This is
a major story, a big.
Speaker 16 (31:28):
Deal, a tragic story shrouded in mystery. Really, you know,
why was he going across the county to Lancaster from
sun Valley.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
What was the relation to get there?
Speaker 16 (31:38):
Yeah, by metrolink and various public transportation. I suppose he
had a relationship with this man through soccer and for
his body getting up in Ventura County. We don't have
a lot of answers from this press conference today. What
we know for certain is they have who they believe
is their man. They've got the guy that they have
charged with the murder and not just the murder of
(31:58):
this thirteen year old boy, but they revealed a history
of behavior that involves illegal behavior with other young boys.
So this is going to be a case to follow.
And Nathan Hackman, the district attorney, said, will present more
details about the nature of the arrest and so forth
when we get to that part of the case in court.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, and I saw Alan Hamilton up there. He's the
chief of detectives for LAPD, and he had to step
in to tell d a Hackman where the arrest happened.
Speaker 16 (32:30):
Yeah, So it looked like the arrest happened in the
city of Los Angeles, and then he was transferred over
to the Sheriff's department. Because we got a lot of
jurisdictions involved here. This boy is from Sun Valley, he
played soccer in North Hollywood, took a train to Lancaster
Palmdale area to meet with the soccer coach, and then
his body was found in Oxnard in Ventura County. So
(32:52):
you've got a lot of different investigative jurisdictions at play here.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Did the parents Were the parents aware that he was
going out to Lancaster. That's what it looks like and
what is similar.
Speaker 16 (33:02):
Just based on the little bit of information that we
were able to gather today, this situation seems similar to
one that involved a family from Silmar just last year.
The allegation is that this soccer coach had developed some
trust with a family from Silmar including one of their
young sons, a sixteen year old boy, and then sexually
(33:25):
assaulted him. And so that was a case that had
been in the files of the Sheriff's department for the
duration of the past what fourteen months. Since then, they
had not acted on it. We did not get clarity
on why. But when they were investigating the soccer coach
for this current situation, that's when they found in the
files that yes, the Sheriff's department had investigated him, and
(33:47):
so had the city police department. According to the reporting
from the La Times, they found nothing. From twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty two, another boy who was allegedly
sexually assaulted or molested some way by this man decided
not to testify, so there was no procession of the
charges there. And this case from twenty twenty four is
now a formal charge against him Nathan Hoffman saying that
(34:10):
he could face life without parole for the murder, but
also six years in prison for the additional sexual assault
from last year.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
So the assault from last year was based on the
testimony of the young man and he refused to testify.
Speaker 16 (34:24):
That was the case from twenty twenty two right. That
was in the city of LA last year. That is
now a formal charge. So we are dealing with three
different known cases. And that's why you keep hearing the
police chief, the sheriff, and the DA saying if there
are other victims out there, police come forward. And when
you think about a soccer coach who dealt with many teams,
(34:47):
how many boys are involved in that, there could be
many more.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And they also said, you know, if you're not a
citizen of the United States, they're not going to be
checking you know, passports or Social Security numbers or any IDs.
They just want enough people to come forward if this
has happened to you or your kids.
Speaker 16 (35:06):
It's the nature of the political environment that we live
in right now. You know, there are a lot of
illegal immigrants in Los Angeles County, but they also, you know,
play soccer culturally, that's their main sports. So when you
come to a place like LA and you're looking to
get your kids involved, soccer is the primary choice. And
this is a family that we're dealing with here that
is not from the United States either.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
So, but the parents of this thirteen year old kid,
there's no way that they knew that this man, this
coach has passed. There's no way that's what it sounds like,
because I mean, even if you get a job working
with youth, there's some sort of background check that goes on.
And that's what we need to learn more about, is
why there was an active, or at least a semi active,
a known investigation, and why was he still coaching exactly
(35:50):
because this information was not out there until they moved
on him while investigating this this murder.
Speaker 16 (35:56):
And so that's a strange, strange piece of this situation.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I smell a major, major lawsuit.
Speaker 16 (36:03):
It looks like something went wrong here because if a
teenager comes to the authorities and says, I think I've
been sexually abused, and an investigation is clearly begun, but
nothing happens for fourteen months, and not only does an
alleged possible act against another boy take place, it goes
even further and that boy's dead.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Well, you've been in news for a long time. I've
been watching news for a long time. I know it,
and you know it. This was not that guy's first victim.
There's no way there has to be. You know, the
first victim is something that I just can't imagine. The
very first time this guy molested child, he ends up
(36:45):
killing him and throwing him into it, you know, into
the gutter.
Speaker 16 (36:49):
There's a term called grooming, and it's tossed around a
lot in political discourse these days, rather haphazardly, but it
does actually have a meaning, sure, and there is a
certain amount of groom being of a child that can
take place where you build trust with a child, but
it also involves building trust with the family. So that
a family is willing to allow a thirteen year old
(37:10):
boy to take public transportation clear across the county to
stay alone with a grown man. That is a level
of trust that that is that must be very high.
Was that was that trip supposed to be overnight? I'm
not sure in the details of the duration.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
What we do know, I guess you're supposed to go out
there look at uniforms exactly.
Speaker 16 (37:30):
They're gonna paint something. They're gonna do some projects on
the uniforms, and some paint was supposed to be involved.
Because there's some reporting out there that when the victim's
brother called the victim, the man the soccer coach answered
the phone and said the boy could not come to
the phone because he has paint on his hands right now.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Oh my god. You know it's really tough. You know,
I don't know how mature this thirteen year old kid was.
You know, by thirteen, some kids are really mature. They
can get on a bus and move and move around,
and lot of kids are not. But when you have children,
you know it's your responsibility to go out and check
the parents home before, you know, and check everything out
(38:07):
before the kid goes. And it's you know it. You know,
with both parents working, I imagine things get away from you.
And maybe the parents didn't know that this kid was
going up there.
Speaker 16 (38:17):
No, I mean honestly, I mean a parent would probably
love to have a responsible adult figure that your child
can look up to, especially in the realm of an
activity that they like, whether it be art or sports
or education of some sort.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You would love that, right.
Speaker 16 (38:33):
But this is what happens in the grooming phase, is
that you convince the family that you are trustworthy while
finding a way to get yourself alone with that child.
And that appears to be what happened here.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I guarantee you what's going to be happening tonight and
tomorrow and this weekend is a lot of parents are
going to say no to their kids when Hey, I'm
going to a sleepover at you know, at Tom's or whatever.
Well you're not, I'm going to meet the parents. And
this does it further ice people from one another, you know,
because now you suspect everybody.
Speaker 16 (39:03):
Everybody's suspicious, and there's going to be some very difficult
conversations for families who have been involved in the soccer
programs that this coach has been part of, because you're
going to have to have some very uncomfortable conversations with
young boys about whether they've been touched or worse.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
And these and those numbers. Look, it could be two,
it could be three, it could be three hundred. You know,
we'll never know. All right, Uh, I appreciate you coming in.
Thank you, Michael Monks. We will give you any more
details as this story develops, we will have that for you.
We had to pass on David Vasse he was going
to come on during this press conference. Press conference was
(39:39):
too important to take David de Vessey obviously, so we're
going to try to squeez him in a little later.
But if you're just tuning in, the thirteen year old
boy that was murdered, they think up in Lancaster was
Dumpton Oxnard. Now that coach is looking at life in prison,
and it's going to be charged with murder, murder of
this thirteen year old boy. And it's a sad day
(40:03):
in Los Angeles. We're live on KFI A M six
forty
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Is the
Conway Show Man. We got a lot to get to today,
almost a too much program. We've got Nathan Hawkman. He's
gonna have a press conference and there's going to be
some charges that are brought up against Mario Garcia. A
(00:24):
Quino is that they pronounced that last night, Wikino and
he was the soccer coach of that thirteen year old
that was murdered, and so that's gonna be grim. Michael
Monks will come on at four to twenty to recap that,
so as soon as it comes on, it's gonna happen
any minute, and Krozer's all set to carry that live.
(00:45):
David Vassi was at the White House today with the
Los Angeles Dodgers in the White House, so we'll talk
to him about what's going on there. Will Cole Schreierer,
who works for Traffic with Angel Martins, will be high
in the sky over the Florida Houston game in San
(01:06):
Antonio and that'll be going on today. We'll chit chat
with him, and then Bob Miller, the former play by
play and the best announcer in the history of sports
in my opinion, him and Vin Scully and Chick Hern, Him,
Vin Scully and Chick Hern. Top three guys Him, Vin Scully,
(01:29):
Chick her and, Rickmunday, Bob Miller, Chick Hern, Rick Monday,
Vin Scully, Matt Money Smith. Top five play by play
guys All LA, Yes, yeah, I like, I love LA.
So we got We're waiting for the press conference. We'll
(01:49):
have that immediately. But man, what a weekend at sant Anita.
We had given out tickets about two hundred and thirty
two dred and forty people, and I can't tell you
without exception, how every single one of the people I
emailed got their address, sent them tickets, and then I
(02:11):
text I emailed everybody on Friday night to make sure
they got their tickets, and all but four people did
get their tickets, and the four people that didn't, I
offered them tickets for the future or I said, hey,
I'll put you on the on the will call list
for tomorrow and you can come on in. And I
made sure that they all got in. Everybody had a
great time. It was a fantastic day at Santa Anita.
(02:35):
Man let's say you were. You got a lot of
pics of the of the number one horse for some reason. Yeah,
I got that was a journalism. That was the horse,
the big horse that won the sant Anita Derby. And
it was like the old It was like the old
days at sant Anita. There must have been thirty five
or forty thousand people out there. Did you have the
Did you have a bet on that horse?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I don't bet the favorites, which is why I typically
don't walk away with my That was the favorite. Yeah,
it was the favorite. And so I don't like betting favorites,
you know. You know, you bet two dollars and you
get two dollars and forty cents back, It's like who cares?
So the return's just not worth it, that's right. Yeah,
And any horse can, you know, win on any given day.
And I just hate, I hate rooting for favorites, you know.
(03:19):
Oh yeah, I'm with you. You know, people screaming, absolutely screaming, what.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Did you have?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I had two dollars to show on journalism? Well what'd
you get back to? Ten? So you put up two
bucks to get two dollars and ten cents back? Yep,
I enjoyed it. And then over the weekend we had
two radical crashes. These kids, these twenty somethings, they keep
driving fast with a car full of people, and they
(03:46):
keep crashing, and it up ends a lot of lives. Man,
your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, your family,
your friends, your grandparents. Nobody will ever be the same
when you take a car and you're you and your
dumb buddies. And when I was younger, me and my
(04:07):
dumb buddies did the same thing. But man, I wish
I could get to those kids that do that, because
when you slide into a tree doing one hundred and
ten miles an hour, you never win. And the biggest
losers are the families. The families have to go on
with their lives. They still got to go to work,
they still got to feed their kids, they still got
(04:28):
to pay their bills. And now there's an empty seat
at Easter dinner, there's an empty seat for Father's Day
or Mother's Day. Thanksgiving comes around, there's an empty seat Christmas,
empty seat, and it ruins the family. It destroys great
(04:49):
tight knit families. Please do everything you can to get
out there and tell these kids to slow the f down.
It's not macho to drive around at one hundred and
twenty miles an hour. It's the exact opposite. When I
see somebody driving at one hundred and ten, you know,
doing ninety on the on the side streets, I think, Okay,
(05:11):
that guy's an a hole. That guy's an immature a
hole who has to show everybody that speed is king
and it's not dumb. People do that dummies.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I was one of them.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I drove fast when those kid I was dumb. And
as you get older, you slow down. As you get older,
you really slow down. Man. I was behind some my
ninety year old on the way to the track and
got almighty. He was on the freeway doing thirty five
miles an hour, and I gave my honker, hey, my
let's see it's the pedal on the right, you know
that kind of thing. Yeah, he didn't seem to care.
(05:47):
But living in California, you're gonna see these guys with
the high speed cars and the loud cars and the
crazy cars, and sometimes it ends in a horrible, horrible crowd.
And when it does, those people who are left behind
are not going to be the same. It happened in
Santa Anna over the weekend. It was terrible. It was terrible.
(06:10):
I hope it never happens again. But these poor families
that are left behind, they got to now pick up
the pieces and move on with their lives without their
loved ones.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Family and friends are remembering the young lives lost in
a car crash in Santa Anna. They continue to visit
the scene of the crash to leave flowers and candles
in their memory, including the father of two the victims.
The car with six people slammed into a tree Saturday night.
All of the all the kids were in teens and
early twenties.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Four were killed. One is identified Do you hear that?
Do you hear that? Twenties? Four were killed? Four were killed.
Four were killed.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
One is identified by the father as nineteen year old
Erie Roeblis. Her sister was rushed to the hospital along
with one more person. She's said to be in grave condition.
Their father wanting to address about the cause of the.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Accident alone, Yeah, well to the.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, where do you say? There's step? Can you pick
this up for us? Ready? Here we go, let's see
and now it alone? Oh that's heavy sling. I can't
pick that one. And maybe Richie knows. How about here, Richie,
let Richie try to tackle this one. Ready, here we go.
Now it s a loon. Yeah, well to then, yes.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
He was saying pretty much that the drivers were not
under the influence of alcohol and drugs, okay, and it
was just like a regular crash type thing, all right, excellent.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Ignatio Roeblaz says those in the car were not drinking
and they didn't do drugs, that they were good kids
and it was just an accident.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Police say the car was speeding.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
On cigars from Avenue when it crashed. The cause is
under investigation.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I see it all the time. There was a crash
in Burbank near our house. I was actually watering a
plant and I could see down the street and I
saw the accident happen. I heard the screeching of tires
and then bang, these two cars hit. This one Asian
woman t bone I think like a Russian guy. He
got out with a thick accent, and they both looked
(08:16):
at each other's cars. They're both damaged pretty good, and
they high fived each other, and right then a cop
pulled up. So the cop was the Burbank cop was there.
In ten seconds less than ten seconds. He must have
seen it happen, and he said, you got to exchange information.
And I heard one guy say, no, we're going. I'll
take care of my car. She'll take care of her car.
(08:36):
And the CoP's like, huh, your choice, and they and
the cop left. The car went one way. When a
car went one way, the other car went the other way.
And I guess you don't have to report a crash.
You know, if both parties agreed to fix their own car,
then you know, go do that. I hear it all
the time, man, I see crashes. When you remember when
you were a kid, you heard or saw one crash
(08:57):
in your life. Now you see them all the time,
all the time. We're getting we're worst drivers now than
we were forty to fifty six years ago. I don't
know the technology is better, but the guys sitting behind
the wheel not better, not better at all. All right,
we're waiting for this press conference from the district attorney
I call them Nathan Hawkman, And as soon as we
(09:19):
have that, we'll have also Michael Monks. And looks like
some grim news coming out with the thirteen year old.
It was murdered last week.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It's Conway Show. We're waiting for the press conference from
Nathan Hakman. As soon as we have that, we will
have that live on KFI. Live on KFI, So as
soon as that comes up, we'll bomb put that on NHL.
Over the weekend was interesting. The Dodgers went to the
White House. We got a lot going on. Let's talk
(09:54):
about the Dodgers going to the White House, and then
we'll have David Vassay on at four thirty five and
less we have that press commence, So there's a lot
that could happen here. We might be changing our plans.
But let's talk about the Dodgers going to the White
House to celebrate their twenty twenty four World Serious champ
championship over the New York Yankees World.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
Series champion Los Angeles. Dodgers were honored at the White
House this morning and they spoke about unity. That's despite
some calls for the team to stay home. More on
that in a moment, but the team gathered in the
East Room of the White House. Also show Heyo Tawi
snuck in a picture next to the Declaration of independence
in the Oval office. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called the
(10:38):
occasion a huge honor. President Trump spoke highly of the
team and praised their World Series victory.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
This Scattery report at the start of the series said
that the Dodgers could win by focusing on the fundamentals.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
You showed America that it's not about individual glorious about
the team, digging deep and sprinting right through to first base.
And you did that all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Superstars.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Moo, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Sprinting right through first base and you did that all
the time, Superstars.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Mookie Bets.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Is he good?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Mooky Bets, he's the best. He was there. He didn't
look he didn't look happy that he was there, but
he went. He didn't go in twenty nineteen when he
was with the Boston Red Sox and won a World Series.
But this year he said, hey, it's about the team.
It's not about me. I'm going, and he went.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
The President mentioned there it's not about the individual, but
the team, and that was behind Mookie BET's decision to
attend today's ceremony. He skipped a visit with Trump as
president when he won as a player on the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, it's like she's copying my script. He says.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
He regrets that said it was a distraction and he
didn't want to take away from the team. Some eighteen
hundred fans signed a change dot org petition begging the
team to reconsider their visit because they do not like
President and Trump's policies on illegal immigration and eliminating DEI requirements.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
The Dodgers. Look, the Dodgers are for everybody. You know,
the Dodgers have You know, they have Armenian Knight, they
have Jewish Knight, Catholic Knight, Christian Knight. I know they
have Pride Night. And they even had those nuns there,
the Nuns of perpetual is it nuns of perpetual motion?
(12:23):
What was the nuns that went there, Crozer, Nuns of
perpetual Ah. Man, I'm like Joe Biden Lls called Jay cool.
J uh what is it perpetual indulgence of the nuns
of perpetual indulgence? Yeah, okay, Well they have everybody out there,
(12:43):
and man, the Dodgers are great. I've been watching them
since the mid sixties, late sixties.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
Dodgers president Stan Castin told the La Times, this is
not political. This is the Dodgers getting the recognition they deserve.
Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw also spoke about unity at the ceremony.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
Clayton Kershaw, the selflessness and humility that each one of
these players and staff have shown over the last year
is truly an inspiration. They have constantly played, hurt, switched positions,
and taken the ball to put the team first. I
hope the twenty four Dodgers can serve as an inspiration
of many like they were to me, not just in sports,
but in life. Remembering to put others before ourselves. It
(13:25):
moves a team and a society.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
For Hey, Palio, maybe you can get a tip here.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Here we go, not just in sports, but in life,
remembering to put others before ourselves. How about that for
remembering to put others before ourselves? Anything for remembering to
put others before ourselves?
Speaker 11 (13:44):
Did I need to do that?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 11 (13:45):
I'm just saying I do that all this, Okay, Okay,
I think I need to learn the.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Opposite, oh of being more selfish. Yes, that's exactly right. Wow, man,
you didn't get anything out of this then, huh, all right, okay,
all right, Well, I'm just saying.
Speaker 10 (14:02):
Remembering to put others before ourselves.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
You think of everyone around here, That's right. I need
that lesson not I'm just saying that we all do.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And you know, I think I think I think lives
that more than any Oh, without a doubt, me, without
a doubt.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
Without uh, you are thoughtful and generous.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Thank you very much, thank you, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Speaker 10 (14:26):

Curso then presented President Trump with an honorary forty seven
jersey as the band played we are the Champions, and
they took a team photo. The Dodgers are now nine
and two. They were in Philly last night.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
They lost. They lost to Philly after coming back from

Later this month, the Philadelphia Eagles will be at the
White House to be honored for their Super Bowl win
earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Okay, so big, big to do at the White House
and that was a big deal. David Vassa will be
coming on with us. He was at the White House
with them. I mean, look, this this kid who grew
up in Thousand Oaks, huge Dodger fan, had an opportunity
to work with the Dodgers at one point, then became
an employee where he traveled with the Dodgers, and now
(15:20):
he's at the White House with the Dodgers. What a
full life David Vassay has had from being a young
punk in Thousand Oaks to growing up and traveling to
the White House with the Los Angeles Dodgers without having
ever picked up a bat or thrown a pitch. And
yet he was at the White House. Pelly, do you
(15:41):

offer him a ring?
Speaker 11 (15:45):
I want to say yes, Okay, then go ahead, yes,

also waiting for a press conference with Nathan Hawkman. So
he got a serious story and a non serious story
coming out, and we'll try to deliver both those for
you so you can have more knowledge. That's why we're here.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 12 (16:12):

go and pull it down. We're gonna do this press
conference again about the arrest of the thirteen year old
talker Nations charges.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Looks like it is just getting underway. Let's listen in up.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Here with me.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Were joined by Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonald, Los
Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. Also at the podium is
FBI Special Agent in Charge Ted dos Lapg, Assistant Chief
Blake chow Lapd Deputy Chief Head of Detectives Allen Hamilton.
From the District Attorney's office. We had Ted Deputy Major

Crimes Craig hum along with Deputy District Attorneys Paul Thompson
and Agee miss Most.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Also with me directly to my left or.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Oscar Hernandez's sister Alejandra Hernandez, his mother Gladys Baoutista, and
Oscar's father, Oscar Daniel Hernandez. Today I'm announcing the charge
(17:19):
of murder with special circumstances against Mario Edgardo Garcia Aquino,
who's forty three years old. Mister Garcia Arceno murdered thirteen
year old Oscar Omar Hernandez on March twenty eighth, twenty
(17:40):
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And when I say that charges have been brought.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I want to make it clear that charges themselves are
not evidence that a defendant is presumed innocent until and
or less proven guilty in a court of law. The
charges allege that Mario Edgardo Garcia a Keno on that
date of March twenty eight, twenty twenty five, murdered Omar
Hernandez in Lancaster. Mister Garcia a Keno was his soccer coach,
(18:09):
and on that day Omar Hernandez went up to Lancaster
to see mister Garcia Alqino. Two days later he was
reported missing, and on April second, twenty twenty five, last week,
his body was found in Oxnard, off the road near
Leo Correo State Beach. We have also announcing the charges
(18:34):
again separate charges against mister Garcia Arceno from a February
twenty second, twenty second, twenty twenty four felony of assault
with intent to commit a lewd act against a different individual,
a sixteen year.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Old young man in Palmdale.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Mister Garcia Aquino faces at least life without the possibility
of parole on the murder charge and six years in
prison with respect to the felony count.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Of assault with intent to commit a lewd act.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
These cases are tragic, and the Hernandez family you have
our deepest sympathy for a loss that words cannot even
begin to describe. All role, though, is to bring justice
to this family and to hold the person responsible for
these brutal, heinous, unspeakable, unthinkable acts, hold them accountable, and
(19:41):
prosecute and punish them to the full extent of the law. Now,
as part of this investigation, we are asking that there are,
if there are any potential victims of mister Garcia Arquino
and they're out there, that we have put his picture
(20:02):
out with our press release Pussible Option, and we are
asking anyone with information or any victims to come forward
to the Los Angeles Police Department's Juvenile Division Abused Child
Unit and they can call eight one eight three seven
four five four one five or the Los Angeles County
(20:23):
Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau at eight seven seven seven
ten five two seven three, And if anyone wants to
come forward nominally anonymously, they can come forward by phone
to the Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at eight
hundred two two two eight four seven seven. I'd like
(20:48):
to now introduce Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna to
say some words.
Speaker 13 (20:56):
Thank you, mister Hawkman, and good afternoon to everybody being
up here. Presenting this information is never easy, but on
behalf of the men and women of the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department, very sorry for your loss. Lossentimos Muncho
let to look at us on I'm here today specifically
(21:18):
seeking additional victims on a child sexual abuse case involving
forty three year old Mario Garcia Aquino from the Palmdale area.
Garcia Aquino was a youth travel soccer coach with a
Hurricane Valley Boys soccer club in the Silmar area, working
(21:41):
with different age divisions. He had no reported criminal history.
In February of twenty twenty four, Garcia Aquino befriended a
Silmar family who allowed their juvenile son to stay with
him at his residence in Palmdale. The family subsequently filed
(22:02):
a criminal report with the Palmdale Sheriff Station alleging sexual
abuse of their child. This case was assigned to the
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau North team,
who is tasked with investigating both physical and sexual abuse
of children, including adult felonists sexual assaults. During the investigation
(22:29):
and while working with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's
Office office from the Antelope Valley Courthouse, detectives learned that
there was another unrelated child sexual abuse case being handled
by the Los Angeles Police Department's Foothill Division involving Garcia Aquino.
On April second, twenty twenty five, the new information from
(22:53):
both the Sheriff's Department and the police department cases, the
District Attorney's Office filed one felony count of assault with
intent to commit a sexual offense on Mario Garcia Aquino.
Based on the nature of the offenses, Special Victims Bureau
detectives believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with information
(23:18):
regarding this case, or who believes that they may have
been a victim, is urged to contact the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department Special Victims Bureau at eight seven seven
seven one zero five to two, seven to three, or
you can contact any of your local Sheriff's stations. I
(23:42):
just want to make an additional comment to that because
We're really urging anybody in the public, once you see
the photos of this individual, that if you may have
been a victim, please come forward.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I know it's not easy.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
I know it could be either embarrassing you don't want
to tell somebody, but it's very important that we bring
justice not only to the family here to my left,
but any families that may have.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Been victimized by this.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
And I want to add an additional comment that if
for some reason anybody fears coming forward, even as a
youth or a family, because you may be here undocumented,
We're not going to ask about that.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Please you need to come forward.
Speaker 13 (24:35):
We will assist you, whether it's our department, the Los
Angeles Police Department, the LA County District Attorney's office, any
of us are going.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
To wrap our arms around.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
You and make sure that you get the appropriate services,
We guide you the right way, and we protect you
as well.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah, I'd like to call up a Los Angele Police
Department Chief Jim McDonald.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
Thank you very much, and good afternoon, and thank you
for your continued attention and coverage on this deeply tragic case.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Before I begin, I want.
Speaker 14 (25:12):
To just take a moment to acknowledge the profound loss
endured by the.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Family of oscar Omar Hernandez.
Speaker 14 (25:18):
On behalf of the Los Angeles Police Department, I extend
our deepest condolences, and while no words can lessen their grief,
please know that we're fully committed to pursuing justice for
their son. I'd also like to extend my appreciation to
our partners whose combined efforts led to today's charges.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Thank you to the District Attorney.
Speaker 14 (25:37):
The FBI, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Ventura County
Sheriff's Department, and the Ventura County Coroner for the help
that they provided. I also want to particularly thank LAPD's
Robbery Homicide Division and LAPD's Major Crimes Division for the time, patience,
and expertise that they dedicated to this case. While we
all hoped for a different outcome, their hard work has
(26:00):
helped ensure that this dangerous individual is no longer a
threat to the public. When this case, this was a
missing person's case that RhD picked up and put everything
they had into it, brought in major crimes and the resources.
With all of our partners here left no stone unturned
and so I'm thankful for the collaboration that we see
(26:20):
here in the ability that we have to be able
to mobilize on a case like this that is so
tragic and to be able to get some level of closure.
And as Sheriff Luna mentioned, I share the same sentiments.
If anybody is a victim out there, please come forward.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
There are no.
Speaker 14 (26:38):
Obstacles and we will treat it as sensitively as it
needs to be treated. But justice should be served in
this so I won't go into the details of the
case that's already been talked over here, but any questions
you have, I'll kick it back to the district attorney.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Thank you all.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
So we will now take myself share Luna and Chief
McDonald will now take questions. After we're done taking questions,
Maria Ramirez, where are you over there? For the Spanish media.
Maria Ramirez will then give a brief overview of what
we've been doing and then takes questions in Spanish as well.
Speaker 15 (27:17):
Attorney before we begin with the family, say anything.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Not at this press conference.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
LUs Celiaca maayeto with CBSKKEL question for Sheriff Luna or
yourself specifically for that assault.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Charge back in February of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Did it happen in February of twenty twenty four or.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Was it initially reported in February of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
The data which had happened, as the charges reflect, is
February twenty second, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And that's in Palmdale.
Speaker 15 (27:48):
Well, can you tell us about the circumstances surrounding the
arrest with their cooperation?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Where did it happen the arrest Again, with respect to
how the individual was a arrested so quickly in some
respects after the March twenty eighth murder, those investigative techniques
will be discussed in the appropriate court when we present
the additional evidence that shows that mister Garcia A Kino
(28:14):
committed this murder, as well as the additional ACTXIT of which.
Speaker 15 (28:17):
He is at his home. Jo District Attorney. Where was
he arrested? Where is he taking into customer?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I believe it. I'll check if I might.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
With let Chie Hamilton, Good afternoon, Alan Hamilton, Chief Detective
lped He was taken into custody in the city of
Los Angeles, and he was then subsequently transferred to the
custody of the Sheriff's department.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
Was he at work, Allen, He was not at work.
When it comes to talking about additional victims, do those
of additional victims include perhaps missing children who you fear
may have met a similar demise.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
We don't predetermine who the additional victims of this particular
defendant are, but we're by putting his picture out there
and having this press conference as well, and hopefully using
the tools that you'll be able to use to get
our message out far and wide. We are seeking anyone
who recognizes this particular individual as someone that victimized them
(29:18):
to come forward to law enforcement, whether again they want
to come forward anonymously, come forward to any police department
or sheriff station, or or use the call in numbers.
Speaker 15 (29:28):
But are we looking at potential missing children cases that
possibly could be linked to this.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
Sure, we're looking at everything, and that's why it's kind
of unique for it's the District attorney's press conference, but
you see us up here in partnership with the LAPD,
with the FBI. We're working with every agency and that's
why we're really pleading with the community that if you
know anything, you've heard anything, or maybe you think somebody's
(29:56):
missing or loved ones missing. Call us check, let us
check all the information. You have the most amazing detectives
from all of our agencies that are capable, very capable,
and they'll all be working on it.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
I'm just trying to interpret this is I'm just looking
at him, Lay Tucks.
Speaker 16 (30:14):
Okay, you have been listening into a press conference from
La County District Attorney Nathan.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
Yes seems going on around and that has been, like
you said, La County DA Nathan Hawkman, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell.
You heard La County Sheriff Robert Luna and Chief of
Detectives there Alan Hamilton all talking about the charges of
murder charges against Mario Garcia Aquino, who was arrested last
week on separate unrelated assault charges. But they've now announced
(30:40):
that they're going to bring charges murder charges against Garcia
Kino for the death of a thirteen year old Oscar
Omara Hernandez. We'll get more details as they come in,
but that's it for now. I think we have a
list quad and took a break.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I think we we're gonna go with the Monks here,
Michael Monks. Monks, We got monks here. Michael Monks has
been on this case. About three or four days ago.
I contacted somebody in law enforcement and said, Hey, what's
going on with this thirteen year old this poor boy
that was killed? And they said, this is gonna be
(31:23):
a big story. Turns out he was right. This is
a major story, a big.
Speaker 16 (31:28):
Deal, a tragic story shrouded in mystery. Really, you know,
why was he going across the county to Lancaster from
sun Valley.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
What was the relation to get there?
Speaker 16 (31:38):
Yeah, by metrolink and various public transportation. I suppose he
had a relationship with this man through soccer and for
his body getting up in Ventura County. We don't have
a lot of answers from this press conference today. What
we know for certain is they have who they believe
is their man. They've got the guy that they have
charged with the murder and not just the murder of
(31:58):
this thirteen year old boy, but they revealed a history
of behavior that involves illegal behavior with other young boys.
So this is going to be a case to follow.
And Nathan Hackman, the district attorney, said, will present more
details about the nature of the arrest and so forth
when we get to that part of the case in court.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, and I saw Alan Hamilton up there. He's the
chief of detectives for LAPD, and he had to step
in to tell d a Hackman where the arrest happened.
Speaker 16 (32:30):
Yeah, So it looked like the arrest happened in the
city of Los Angeles, and then he was transferred over
to the Sheriff's department. Because we got a lot of
jurisdictions involved here. This boy is from Sun Valley, he
played soccer in North Hollywood, took a train to Lancaster
Palmdale area to meet with the soccer coach, and then
his body was found in Oxnard in Ventura County. So
(32:52):
you've got a lot of different investigative jurisdictions at play here.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Did the parents Were the parents aware that he was
going out to Lancaster. That's what it looks like and
what is similar.
Speaker 16 (33:02):
Just based on the little bit of information that we
were able to gather today, this situation seems similar to
one that involved a family from Silmar just last year.
The allegation is that this soccer coach had developed some
trust with a family from Silmar including one of their
young sons, a sixteen year old boy, and then sexually
(33:25):
assaulted him. And so that was a case that had
been in the files of the Sheriff's department for the
duration of the past what fourteen months. Since then, they
had not acted on it. We did not get clarity
on why. But when they were investigating the soccer coach
for this current situation, that's when they found in the
files that yes, the Sheriff's department had investigated him, and
(33:47):
so had the city police department. According to the reporting
from the La Times, they found nothing. From twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty two, another boy who was allegedly
sexually assaulted or molested some way by this man decided
not to testify, so there was no procession of the
charges there. And this case from twenty twenty four is
now a formal charge against him Nathan Hoffman saying that
(34:10):
he could face life without parole for the murder, but
also six years in prison for the additional sexual assault
from last year.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
So the assault from last year was based on the
testimony of the young man and he refused to testify.
Speaker 16 (34:24):
That was the case from twenty twenty two right. That
was in the city of LA last year. That is
now a formal charge. So we are dealing with three
different known cases. And that's why you keep hearing the
police chief, the sheriff, and the DA saying if there
are other victims out there, police come forward. And when
you think about a soccer coach who dealt with many teams,
(34:47):
how many boys are involved in that, there could be
many more.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
And they also said, you know, if you're not a
citizen of the United States, they're not going to be
checking you know, passports or Social Security numbers or any IDs.
They just want enough people to come forward if this
has happened to you or your kids.
Speaker 16 (35:06):
It's the nature of the political environment that we live
in right now. You know, there are a lot of
illegal immigrants in Los Angeles County, but they also, you know,
play soccer culturally, that's their main sports. So when you
come to a place like LA and you're looking to
get your kids involved, soccer is the primary choice. And
this is a family that we're dealing with here that
is not from the United States either.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
So, but the parents of this thirteen year old kid,
there's no way that they knew that this man, this
coach has passed. There's no way that's what it sounds like,
because I mean, even if you get a job working
with youth, there's some sort of background check that goes on.
And that's what we need to learn more about, is
why there was an active, or at least a semi active,
a known investigation, and why was he still coaching exactly
(35:50):
because this information was not out there until they moved
on him while investigating this this murder.
Speaker 16 (35:56):
And so that's a strange, strange piece of this situation.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I smell a major, major lawsuit.
Speaker 16 (36:03):
It looks like something went wrong here because if a
teenager comes to the authorities and says, I think I've
been sexually abused, and an investigation is clearly begun, but
nothing happens for fourteen months, and not only does an
alleged possible act against another boy take place, it goes
even further and that boy's dead.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Well, you've been in news for a long time. I've
been watching news for a long time. I know it,
and you know it. This was not that guy's first victim.
There's no way there has to be. You know, the
first victim is something that I just can't imagine. The
very first time this guy molested child, he ends up
(36:45):
killing him and throwing him into it, you know, into
the gutter.
Speaker 16 (36:49):
There's a term called grooming, and it's tossed around a
lot in political discourse these days, rather haphazardly, but it
does actually have a meaning, sure, and there is a
certain amount of groom being of a child that can
take place where you build trust with a child, but
it also involves building trust with the family. So that
a family is willing to allow a thirteen year old
(37:10):
boy to take public transportation clear across the county to
stay alone with a grown man. That is a level
of trust that that is that must be very high.
Was that was that trip supposed to be overnight? I'm
not sure in the details of the duration.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
What we do know, I guess you're supposed to go out
there look at uniforms exactly.
Speaker 16 (37:30):
They're gonna paint something. They're gonna do some projects on
the uniforms, and some paint was supposed to be involved.
Because there's some reporting out there that when the victim's
brother called the victim, the man the soccer coach answered
the phone and said the boy could not come to
the phone because he has paint on his hands right now.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Oh my god. You know it's really tough. You know,
I don't know how mature this thirteen year old kid was.
You know, by thirteen, some kids are really mature. They
can get on a bus and move and move around,
and lot of kids are not. But when you have children,
you know it's your responsibility to go out and check
the parents home before, you know, and check everything out
(38:07):
before the kid goes. And it's you know it. You know,
with both parents working, I imagine things get away from you.
And maybe the parents didn't know that this kid was
going up there.
Speaker 16 (38:17):
No, I mean honestly, I mean a parent would probably
love to have a responsible adult figure that your child
can look up to, especially in the realm of an
activity that they like, whether it be art or sports
or education of some sort.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You would love that, right.
Speaker 16 (38:33):
But this is what happens in the grooming phase, is
that you convince the family that you are trustworthy while
finding a way to get yourself alone with that child.
And that appears to be what happened here.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I guarantee you what's going to be happening tonight and
tomorrow and this weekend is a lot of parents are
going to say no to their kids when Hey, I'm
going to a sleepover at you know, at Tom's or whatever.
Well you're not, I'm going to meet the parents. And
this does it further ice people from one another, you know,
because now you suspect everybody.
Speaker 16 (39:03):
Everybody's suspicious, and there's going to be some very difficult
conversations for families who have been involved in the soccer
programs that this coach has been part of, because you're
going to have to have some very uncomfortable conversations with
young boys about whether they've been touched or worse.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
And these and those numbers. Look, it could be two,
it could be three, it could be three hundred. You know,
we'll never know. All right, Uh, I appreciate you coming in.
Thank you, Michael Monks. We will give you any more
details as this story develops, we will have that for you.
We had to pass on David Vasse he was going
to come on during this press conference. Press conference was
(39:39):
too important to take David de Vessey obviously, so we're
going to try to squeez him in a little later.
But if you're just tuning in, the thirteen year old
boy that was murdered, they think up in Lancaster was
Dumpton Oxnard. Now that coach is looking at life in prison,
and it's going to be charged with murder, murder of
this thirteen year old boy. And it's a sad day
(40:03):
in Los Angeles. We're live on KFI A M six
