officer?
A Yes, I did.
Q And at the academy did you take and pass a course in
the investigation and testifying at preliminary hearings given.
by POST?
A Yes, I did.
Q Were you working in your capacity as a deputy sheriff
on Sunday, October the 7th, 2001?
A Yes, I was.
Q And at that time on that day did you respond to Donut
Queen in Rubidoux, Mission Boulevard?
A Yes, I did.
Q And when you resp0nded did you contact a person by the
name of Jeremiah, common spelling, last name Buebe, B-u-e-b-e?
A Yes.
Q And tell us what you saw when you arrived at that
location.
A When I arrived there, I saw a man sitting down. He
had, like, a white shirt on top of his head, and I saw, like, a
lot of blood on top of his head.
Q And that was Mr. Jeremiah Buebe?
A Yes. He identifi_d himself as Jeremiah Buebe.
Q "Buebe"?
Yes, I think so.A I'm not sure.

Preferable to the other pronunciation I was giving1 Q
2 it.
3 And were you able to at that time determine the extent
4
of his injuries?
A At that point I saw a big gash on the top of his
head. As soon as I got there, I immediately radioed for AMR,
which is paramedics, to come on scene so they could hurry up and
treat him, because at that point I just saw a lot of blood
coming from the top of his head. I didn't know what kind of
injury as far as internal he might have been having.
Q Were you with the victim later on at the hospital?
A Yes. I actually followed along with the ambulance to
the hospital.
Q And when he was treated at the hospital, were you able
to determine the extent of his injuries at that point?
A Yeah. At that p()int he had a laceration on top of his
head, which I think required -- I think it was seven stitches.
Q And were there any other injuries to his body apart
from the gash to his head?
A He complained of, like, headache. He complained of
pain to his head. He had numerous marks on his -- on his arms
from when -- and then he kind of told me where he got thosefrom.
Q Let's go to that aspect now. How did he tell you
those injuries were received?
A At first he was like -- because when I was asking him
what other injuries do you have, I noticed he had marks on his
hands. And that's when he looked down, and he was like, I must
1 have gotten those from when, you know, the people that attacked
2 me were like -- his words were like throwing punches at him.3 Q So the victim told you he was attacked?
4 A Yes.
5 Q Did he tell you how that attack happened?
6 A Yes. He said he drove on a street, which he didn't
7 know the name at the time, and he was approached by a man while
8 he was sitting in the car.
9 Okay. I think it's going to be easier if we go backQ
10 and do it chronologically.
11
12
Okay.
Did he tell you why he was over in the Rubidoux area
A
Q
13 In the first place?
14 Yeah. He had met a female who originally introducedA
15 herself on the phone as Maria. He contacted -- they were
16 contacted through what's called like a party line. Mainly
17 people call this phone number and people meet through there.
18 Okay. So he told you he met a female by the name ofQ
19 Maria on a party phone line?
20
21
Right.
And when he met her on that party phone line, what did
A
Q
22 he tell you transpired?
23 After a few conversations, the girl who identifiedA
24 herself as Maria told him, "You know what, start calling me by
25 my real name, which is Monica." And at that point they decided
26 to meet up on a certain date.
27 And with respect to the early hours of Sunday morning,Q
28 October 7th, when was that meeting with this person now known as
5
1 Monica to take place?
2 They were supposed to meet sometime that night, eitherA
3 around 12:00 or 1 o'clock in the morning.
4
5
6 morning.

8 Monica?
9
Q
A
And what time was it you contacted him?
I contacted him, I want to say, 2:18, 2:17 in the
10 was in the unincorporated area of Highgrove. He met her on a
11 street, on Transit, which is almost -- the house is almost
12 towards the end of the block, and she was accompanied by another
13 female.
14
15
16
17 walking?
18
19
20

26 told or not. He only knew how to describe what she looked like.
27 Q Did he give you a description of what she looked like?
28 A Yes.
A When he met Monica, he showed up at the house, which

Q What was the description?
A I think he said she was about 5'11". He said she was
very big, and he used the word she was about 300 pounds.
Q And was he able to give you a description of Monica?
A Yes, he he described her as being -- both of them,
actually, as being Hispanic females, Monica having
shoulder-length hair, being, I think he said black. And the one
that stood out was that fact that he said she had a piercing
underneath her lip.
Q NOW, what happened after he met these two Hispanic
females at the address on Transit?
A When he met them, he said that Monica had asked him if
he would mind if her friend would come with them, because she
didn't feel comfortable being with him because of the fact that
she didn't really know him.
Q And did the three of them then leave th~t location on
Transit?
A Yes. Monica had asked the victim, Jeremiah, if they
could drive the friend back home to Rubidoux.
Q And did Jeremiah tell you where they went from that
first location where the second location was?
A Actually, he was in my police car.
Q Okay.
A And we actually took the trip that he believed he
took, and we drove from the Highgrove area to the Rubidoux area,
exiting on Rubidoux Boulevard.
Q Okay. And the second location, can you describe what
he described to you as it was?

A In the beginning he had described to me that he didn't
remember where the street was, but he remembered that there was
a large field that was there on the street. So when we drove
down there, we were going southbound on Rubidoux Boulevard, and
then he said, you know, make a right here, make a right here.
And that street was, I want to say, 34th Street.
Q Okay.
A And then we went westbound on 34th. And right when we
got to, I think it was -- I forgot the street name. It's in my
report. It's either Pontiac or --
Pioneer?Q
A Pioneer. He said, "That's the field. II And right
there on the corner of Pioneer and 34th there's a big, vacant
field.
Q And is that where he stopped the car?
A That's where he said, "I think this is where I made a
left."
So that's where he said he believed he made a left,
right there on Pioneer, and that's where he believed the vehicle
stopped originally when both friends were in the car, or the two
females and --
Q Okay. And where was the female Monica seated?
A I believe he said Monica was in the front and the
friend was in the back.
Q Okay. Now, when they stopped at this area on 34th
Street by Pioneer and Pontiac, did he tell you what happened to
him?
A Yeah. At that point he said the friend never got out
8
2
1 of the car and
Q When we're talking about the friend, we're talking
3 about the large Hispanic female?
4
5
6
A
Q
A
Right, right.
Okay.
Didn't get out of the car, and I think they began to
7 smoke cigarettes or something.
8
9
Q
A
Okay.
And at that point he said he was approached by a
10 Hispanic male by the driver's side door, which was ln the front.
11
12
13
Q
A
Q
So he was seated on the driver's side?
Right.
Was he able to tell you if the window was down, if the
14 door was open?
15 A I think he said that the window was down.
16 Q And he was approached by a Hispanic male?
17 A Yes.
18 Q What happened when the Hispanic male contacted
19 Jeremiah?
20 A Said he was the male started yelling stuff, at that
21 point he perceived to be Spanish, because in his words he really
22 couldn't understand what the guy was ~aying. He said he could
23 only make out one word.
24
25 make out?
Q And what was the one word that Jeremiah said he could
26
27
A
Q
He said the only word he actually heard was "holmes."
Okay. And was this Hispanic male alone or were there
28 other Hispanic males with him?
9
1 A He said at the time that's the only Hispanic male that
2 he saw, and he attempted to start the car and leave.
3 Q Okay. Was Jeremiah able to start the car and leave?
4 A He said that he was grabbed by that suspect, the male
5 suspect.
6 Q Okay.

view mirror, and he just saw, I believe it was, four or five
people running after his -- towards his car.
Q Okay. Was he able to give you a description of that
first Hispanic male?
A He gave me a general description of him. At the time
he said as far as making a composite of the person, he probably
wasn't able to, but if he was ever to see that guy again, he
said he would.
Q So just give me the general descript~on he gave you.
A Hispanic male. I think he was wearing a beanie,
multicolored, I think, like a Pendleton shirt.
Q Okay. What about the other four or five Hispanic
males that he saw in his rear view mirror?
A He said at that time his mental frame, he wasn't
really thinking like that.
Q Was he able to tell you what their ethnicity was?
A Yes. He knew they were Hispanic males.
Q Was he able to give you any description ln terms of if
they had any hair?
A I don't remember.

Q All the males?
A Right.
Q And was he able to tell you what he was being struck
with?
A He said at the time it just felt like fists; he was
just being hit by fists. But the one thing that stood out, he
remembered seeing one person holding a tire iron, and I think it
was In the right hand.
Q Right. NOw, while these Hispanic males were hitting
on Jeremiah, did he tell you what the two females who had taken
him to that location were doing?
A He said the one thing that stood out was the fact that
none of them looked, like, alarmed.
Q When you say "none of them," I want you to be more
specific. Referring to Monica?A lid probably have to look at my report, because 11m
not sure if he said Monica or both.
Q Or both. Okay. You think
MR. BARNETT: Move to strike.
THE COURT: Overruled.
Q (By Mr. Kersse) Let me ask you. In terms of the
females who had accompanied Jeremiah to that location, what did
he say about them in terms of what was going on when this
beating was happening?
A He said --
MR. SNOW: Objection, vague. Nothingls apparently
going on.

Q (By Mr. Kersse) Earlier you said that Jeremiah said
that the one thing that stood out to him was what?
A That the females were in the car and they didnrt make
an attempt to leave.
Q Did they make any attempt to stop what was happening?
A No. He said that none of them screamed, none of them
said anything.
Q Now, what happened to Jeremiah?
A At that point he said he was scared for his life, so
he started to run.
Q Okay.
A So he began to run away, which he believed was towards
Mission Boulevard.
Q And what happened when he was running away?
A When he started running away, he could hear all those
men that were hitting him chasing him.
Q And did they strike him when they were chasing him?
A He said as soon as he started running he felt this
tremendous pain on his head, and thatrs when he fell to the
ground, and that's where he believed he was hit with a tire
iron.
Q And after he fell to the ground, what happened to
Jeremiah?
A He said as soon as he fell to the ground, I think he
said he believed he was being hit again, but at that point he
stood up and he said, "Well, you know, I'm in the army, so I'm
just going to run." So he ran.
Q And is that when he ran to the doughnut shop?
13
1
Q
A Right. He went to the doughnut shop. And there was a
2 passerby who saw this man holding the shirt to his head with all
3 the blood coming out and he decided to call 911.
4 Q Okay. Did he tell you why that beating stopped after
5 he was running away and he was struck with a tire iron and went
6 to the ground?
7 A No. At that point I guess he just knew that they
8 stole his car.
9 Q Okay. Once you had received all this information from
10 Jeremiah, did you then do a follow-up investigation?
12 Riverside Community Hospital, I asked him if he would accompany
13 me to Highgrove so we could kind of like do the same route that
14 he had took, and that way he could show me the house that he had
15 originally gone to.
11 A
16
Yes. After he was done with his medical treatment at
Okay. And was he able to show you the location, that
17 first location when he contacted the person named Monica?
Yes.
And was that address 569 Transit?
Yes, it was.
And did you contact somebody at that home?
Yes. I knocked on the front door, and I was met by a
identified herself as being the mother of Monica.Okay. And was that lady Cecjlia Guiterrez?
Yes, it was.
And she told you that Ie was the mother of Monica

19 Q

Q
And he pointed to the person that was Monica Flores?
Right.
And do you see that person in court here today?
1 Q Did you ask Monica Flores's mother if Monica had a
2 friend who was heavyset?
3 A Yes, I did.
4 Q And what did Monica Flores's mother tell you?
5 A She immediately said, yes, she does, she has a friend
6 who lives across the street. And I believe her name was
7 Rosemary Ybarra.
Q Rosemary Ybarra.
Now, while you were at that home, did you collect any
10 photographs of Monica Flores?
11 A Yeah. As I walked through the house, I noticed a
12 picture of two young Hispanic females. So I asked the mother
13 who the pictures were of. And she said, well, that's my
14 daughter Priscilla, who was at the location, and that's a
15 picture of my daughter Monica.
16
17
18
Q
A
Q
Did you show that photograph to Jeremiah?
Yes, I did.
And did Jeremiah identify the person he contacted he
19 knew as Monica?
20 A Yes, he did. And, actually, before I even did that, I
21 asked the mom which one was Monica.
22 Q Okay.
23 A So she pointed out which one she was to me. So I did
24 that. That way I knew if he pointed out who it was. And he did
25 immediately point out, "That's the girl that I picked up."26

A
Q
A
Right.
-- that appears to you to be Monica Flores?
Right.
MR. KERSSE: No further questions.
THE COURT: Who's going first?
A Just from the picture, I mean, I would think that,
2 yes, that's the one in front of me.
3 Q Well, which one? There's two in front of you.
4 A Yeah. It's going to be the one on the right-hand
5 side.

Good morning, Deputy Rodriguez.
Good morning.
May I ask you, have you had much experience previously
Q
A
Q
21 in investigating other gang-related violence occurrences?
22
23
24
MR. KERSSE: Objection, relevance.
THE COURT: What's the relevance?
I'm trying to get to the what theMR. SNOW:
25 defendant's state of mind could have been at the time. Because
26 there's at least an inference that there was no help offered by
27 either of the defendants, and there may be another reason other
28 than the inference that they were participating.
16
1 THE COURT: Well, what would his experience ln gangs
2 have to do with that?
3 MR. SNOW: Well, what I'm trying to get to, Your
4 Honor, is perhaps it's possible to witness an incident such as
5 this and be shocked by it and not do anything.
6 THE COURT: Well, I don't think he's an expert in
7 shock, as far as I know.
8 Do you have any medical training in dealing with
9 shock?
10 THE WITNESS: No, Your Honor.
11 THE COURT: All right.
12 MR. SNOW: He may have interviewed many people who
13 have witnessed these types of activities.
14 THE COURT: The objection is sustained.
15 Q (By Mr. Snow) Since we don't have the benefit of
16 photographs to the victim -- of the victim's injuries at the
17 moment, can you describe where that injury was on the vicitm's
18 head?19 A I think it was -- probably have to look at my report,
20 but I thought it was to the top left section of his head, I
21 thought. I have to look at my report just to make sure.
22 MR. SNOW: I have nothing further, Your Honor. Thank
23 you.
24 THE COURT: Mr. Barnett.

that right?
A Yes. He got knocked down after he felt like a
tremendous hit on the back -- on his head.
Q And he got up and kept running?
A He got up, yeah. That's actually what I asked him was
how can you get up after being hit like that? And his thing
was, you.know, I'm in the army for six years, I know how to run.
So that's what he did.
Q Did he look back over to his shoulder to see what was
taking place behind him?
A You know, I think he might have. But, actually, I
think he told me he was so scared that he just wanted to get out
of there.
Q Did he see anybody take his car or drive it away?
A No, at that point he was just running for his life.
Q So he had no idea when he got down to the doughnut
shop, he had no idea where his car was or whether it had been
stolen or what had taken place; is that right?
A Well, he believed it was stolen, but, yeah, he wasn't
familiar with the area, so he really didn't know where the car
was.
Q But he had no idea whether the car might still be in
the same spot?
A Right.
Q He had no idea if it was stolen or not; is that right?
A Well, I mean, as soon as I arrived on scene, the first
thing he told me was, "My car's stolen."
Q That's what he thought. But did he see anything?
18
r

A
Q
I would say no, because he was running away.

6 THE WITNESS: Sorry.
7 THE COURT: Sustained.
8 MR. BARNETT: We didn't go through with --
9 Q (By Mr. Barnett) With that 115 qualification, did you
10 also get some medical -- never mind. Strike that.
11 He's sitting on the curb, and he had the thing around
12 his head, and you saw some blood. Did he talk to you?
13 A Yes. He gave me what I needed to find out right away.
14 Because of the fact that he told me my car's stolen, I needed --
15 my concern at that point was to hurry up and get an all points
16 bulletin out so other deputies in the area can attempt to find
17 the car if it's being driven away. So he gave me a quick
18 description of what happened.
19 Q And then you followed him to the hospital, right?
20 A Right.
21 Q And when the emergency people got there, did they give
22 him any emergency treatment at the doughnut shop?
23 A Yes. The paramedics that arrived on scene, yeah, you
24 know, they put him on a gurney. They cleaned most of the blood
25 from his head. I'm not exactly sure what they did, but, I mean,
26 they gave him kind of immediate

A Yes. I stayed there, yeah.
Q So this is just after he'd had the stitches in his
head?
Right, right. I was right there when that was beingA
done.
Q They gave him a little local and stitched him up; is
that right?
A Yes. They gave him an injection to the head. It was
one of those, like, direct anesthesia ones.
Q And how long was he in the hospital?
A God, I'd say maybe he was there probably about maybe
an hour, doctor coming and going. Mainly the nurse cleaned the
wound, and then the doctor came in and put the staples.
Q So after he was there about an hour and all this took
place, did he leave and go with you?
A Yeah. At that point I asked him I said, hey, you
know, because I didn't know how he was feeling, and I asked him
if he was willing to go with me and take the same route he took
to pick up the female he knew as Monica, and he said sure.
Q So he rode from the hospital --

She wanted to go to the city of Rialto. She said that
she asked Monica to ask Mr. Buebe for a ride to the city of

MR. BARNETT: Okay.

(By Mr. Kersse) Whatls that opinion?Q
A My opinion is that this was done for the benefit of
6 the West Side Riva street gang.
7
8
Q
A
And what do you base that on?
My knowledge of the West Side Riva street ga 9 ~s that
for enjoyment and pleasure they commit crimi a~ a ~s,9 they
10 including violent acts. Part of that is to bring you.ge~ J~.g
11 members into the fold so that they have the ability to ac~ as a
12 gang member and to represent the members that use tha g~~g.
I believe based on reading this report there ~~s a~13
14 least five gang members involved in this. They were r~g!:::
15 the middle of the West Side Rivals home turf area.
16 were described as younger and some were older. And it a ea~s
17 to me based on my general knowledge in which gang e ers ~:"··e
18 around there that they are often recruiting younger a.. ~o'~Je~
19 members and teaching them how to be gang members.
20 I base that on the fact that the intervie· L.a::
21 Detective Rodriguez (sic) had with Monica that she a a
22 boyfriend by the name of Little One and that she had c ~::ac::e
23 them to assist her on this carjacking.
24 that the interviews with -- subsequent interviews ·ith ~c~a~
25 Aldama and Sergio Santana and Juan Morales, who a -e a__
26 documented members of West Side Riva, that they a~ o
27 be at least involved in driving around in the car af tez ~•...:as
28 stolen.

1 Q Okay. You've spoken to documented West Side Riva gang
2 members Juan Morales - -
3 A Juan Morales.
4 Q Who was the other person?
5 A Sergio Santana and Richard Aldama.
6 Q And all three of them have admitted to being in the
7 vehicle that was carjacked from Jeremiah Buebe?
9 those, yes.
10

12
Q
A
Q
And you have a basis or is that enough?
I believe that's enough.
Okay. Now, let me ask you as well, with yo _ :ew of
13 the police reports and your firsthand knowledge in t is
14 investigation, was the crimes committed with the _ tent to
15 promote, further or assist in criminal cona ct?
16 A Yes.
17 Q And what's the basis 0= th:3 ooinio_?
18 A Basically what I just testi~ied to, to promote the
19 gang is to show that they have the ab~lity to commit any crime
20 that they want to commit, to do anything they want to dOj
21 there's nobody going to stand in between them to do that, so you
22 might as well cooperate with what we want to do, and if you do
23 what we do, you better not get involved in calling law
24 enforcement or else. And that's based on the fact that the
25 crime was committed and the fact that's what they're trying to
26 do is trying to dissuade any type of witness testimony against
27 them.
28 Also, like, I was saying, it appears that there was a
10
6
1 staggering of age groups in this incident. And bringing younger
2 gangs -- younger gang members into the gang is the life blood of
3 the gang. If the gang grows old and they don't have younger
4 members to take over for them, then the gang disa _ears ~
5 theory.
Q Does it make any difference that the defe_d~_~s ~
7 this case are females and the people who actually :.__==-:. ze ~:e
8 violence upon the people are males?
9 A Not in my opinion, no.

MR. KERSSE: No, Your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. It does appear to the Court
that the offenses within complaint number or case number

believe that both defendants are guilty thereof.
As to Count I, as to both defendants, violation of
Penal Code section 215, subdivision (a), as a felony, with a
special allegation under Penal Code section 186.22, subdivision
(b), subsection (4), subparagraph (c). As to Count 2, as to
both defendants, violation of Penal Code section 245,
subdivision (a), subsection (1) as a felony, with the same gang
allegation as a special allegation attached thereto. As to
Count 3, as to both defendants, violation of Penal Code section
459 as a felony, again, with the same -- excuse me. As to t is
count it's Penal Code section 186.22, subdivision (b),

He first met defendant Flores approximately one week prior to the incident. They met at a mutual acquaintance'shouse. That would be Reynaldo Morales at his home in the Avalon Trailer Park in Rubidoux. On this occasionFlores told Aldama that she had a car. Aldama and Flores agreed to meet again at Morale's home at 0700 on anunknown day the following week so that Flores could drive Aldama to a cemetery in Los Angeles for Aldama tovisit his grandmother's grave.
Aldama went to Morales' home at the appointed time and met Flores. Rosemary was with her. Aldama as umedthe car she was driving, a black Honda, was hers. Instead of going to visit his grandmother's grave, they drove tothe Indio area and picked up a female named Vanessa. The four of them drove around together for the next .J
days. Aldama had no idea thatthe credit cards used to buy food etc. at various convenience stores ere stolen. Hethought they belonged to Flores.
Aldama admits being the person photographed on the security video at the Circle K in Fontana.

Morales attempted to corroborate Aldam.is alibi. Morales said that he'd spoken with Aldama on the telephonesince Aldama was arrested and placed in: uvenile Hall. He stated that Aldama was picked up "by two girls" at hishorne. Opposed to Aldama, Morales stat:d it was during the nighttime.

to an unknown address in the unincorporated area of Highgrove. Buebe said he plannedto meet Monica on Sunday, October 07,2001, about 0100 hours.
Buebe said he remembered exiting the "91 Freeway" at Center Street inHighgrove. It should be noted that Buebe was actually speaking of the 215 free a'(Northbound). He said he exited the freeway, and drove eastbound on Center Street Heturned right on the first street, past the railroad tracks (Transient). He drove his cartowards the end of the street, until he saw a Hispanic female walking past a gatedresidence. The female introduced herself to Buebe as Monica.
Monica told Buebe she was uncomfortable being alone with him, and asked him ifit was "O.K." to have a friend join them. Buebe agreed. Buebe said he could notremember Monica's friends name, but did describe her as: A Hispanic female;approximately 5'11; 340 pounds; brown hair with blond streaks; could not rememberclothing description.
Buebe said that within a few minutes, Monica asked him if he would drive herfriend to another friend's residence, in the area of Rubidoux. Buebe agreed, and began todrive towards Rubidoux. Buebe said he could not remember speaking to Monica or herfriend while they were driving, because his radio was turned on too loud.
Buebe exited the freeway (60 West) on Rubidoux Blvd., and drove southbound.He said Monica had him drive around the area, until she directed him to an unknownstreet. Buebe remembered there was a large dirt field on the comer of the street. Bueberemembered parking near a residence, but could not remember the exact street name.Buebe said Monica's friend did not exit the car. Instead, she asked Buebe if he had acigarette. Monica exited the front passenger seat, and walked around the front of thevehicle, towards Buebe. Buebe also provided Monica with a cigarette.
Buebe said the three of them remained in the immediate area speaking. Buebesaid that Monica's friend never attempted to exit from the rear of his vehicle. Buebe saida Hispanic male (Susp. #01) walked towards the driver's side of his car. Suspect #01started yelling at Buebe, in what he perceived to .. anish. The only word heunderstood was "Holmes."

four suspects as being Hispanic males, average weight, and average height. He said hewas too scared to notice anything specific about the four individuals.

During my interview with Buebe at the hospital, he notified me that his ehiclewas equipped with a Lo-Jack anti-theft system. I had Deputy Triputra (Oth.) contactCLETS, and have the vehicle entered as a "Stolen Carjacked" vehicle. CLETS wasnotified that the vehicle was equipped with Lo-Jack, and they said it would be acti ated.
After Buebe was cleared by the medical staff at Riverside Community Hospital. Iasked him if he was able to show me where Monica's residence was located. Buebeagreed to show me, the exact same route he drove to meet Monica. We arrived onTransient A venue, in the unincorporated area of Highgrove. Idrove Buebe passed all theresidences on Transient, until he saw the house where Monica had come from. Theresidence was at 569 Transient. I, along with other Deputies approached the residence.
I knocked on the front door, and was greeted by an adult female who identifiedherself as Cecil a Gutierrez (Oth.) Gutierrez told me she had two daughters by the namesof Priscilla and Monica Flores. Inside the residence was Priscilla, her child, her babyfather Christian Ivan Garcia (Oth.), and Gutierrez's son Dorian Lee Gutierrez (Oth.).Gutierrez told me she had last seen Monica on Sunday, October 07,2001, about 0100hours. She did not know where Monica went, or with who. She also added that Monicadid not live with her, but instead lived at unknown address in the city of San Bernardino.She did not know her own daughters telephone number, and said she had no way ofcontacting her. Iasked her if she had a friend who was heavy set. Gutierrez said she hada friend named Rosemary Ybarra who lived She said Gutierrezis over 250 pounds, and tall.

I spoke to Christian and Dorian. Neither one of them knew why I had arri eel intheir residence. They each denied seeing Monica earlier in the day, and said the hadbeen at the residence all day and night.
An in-field line up was conducted with Christian, Dorian, and Priscella. Previousto the line up, I read Buebe an in-field admonishment. Buebe told me he understood theadmonishment. Buebe said Priscella was not the female who identified herself as onica,As far as Christian and Dorian, Buena was not able to identify if they were invol ed. Ishowed Buebe the picture frame. He immediately pointed to the picture, which was onthe right side, and said, "That's Monica." I asked him if he was sure. He said, "That'sthe same girl I picked up." Buebe chose the picture of Monica Flores.
I went to the residence contact Rosemary Ybarra(Oth.). A female who identifie dez (Oth.) met me at the frontdoor. She said Rosemary is a friend of hers, and was currently living in her residence.Rosemary was not at the location. Hernandez described Rosemary as being a "Big girl.almost 350 pounds." She had last seen her around 0100 hours on Sunday, October 0 .2001. She left the residence with Monica to an unknown location. Hernandez did notknow if they were accompanied by anyone else. Hernandez said that Rosemary currentlworks for the city of San Bernardino, as a filing clerk. Hernandez said she drivesRosemary four days out of the week, to San Bernardino City Hall. During a search ofRosemary's room, I saw a probation card for an Erika Tellez (Oth.-Probation Officer).Hernandez did not know if Rosemary was on probation. She did say that Rosemary wasin trouble with the law in the past, but did not believe Rosemary was capable ofcommitting anything now.

Inside the residence was Sotero Astroga (Oth.) He told me was at a dinner partyearlier in the night. He also added that he was on probation. Astroga agreed toparticipate in the in-field line up. Buebe could not identify Astroga as being one of thesuspects involved in his assault.
I drove Buebe back to the Rubidoux area, so that I can attempt to establish wherethe crime scene began.

This was the main reason Buebe believed Pioneer Avenuewas where he stopped his vehicle. However, Buebe could not show me exactly where hisvehicle was parked.
