Sierra Halseth and Aaron Guerrero Update
When Sierra Halseth and Aaron Guerrero were arrested on suspicion of murder, the couple had been dating for nearly a year. Both teens were found in possession of items like lighter fluid, saw blades, and gloves. They were also caught on surveillance video buying things. A video of Sierra and Guerrero talking about the crime was found after the incident. This video shows the two teenagers joking about killing Daniel.
The couple had a daughter named Elizabeth. According to reports, Sierra and Aaron were planning to elope. However, the pair’s parents forbade them from seeing each other. Instead, they tried to keep their relationship secret. During that time, Sierra sent messages to her relatives to keep them from contacting her. But when they didn’t receive a response, the family became concerned.
At the time of the incident, the two were 16 and 18 years old. Their parents told police that the two had been dating for about a year. After the murder, investigators found their cell phones and video footage. In the video, Sierra and Guerrero were laughing about the murder. Eventually, the couple had cut up the victim’s body and stuffed him into a sleeping bag.
Investigators discovered evidence that the two had withdrawn hundreds of dollars from the bank account of the victim. Also, investigators found graphic photos of the victim. Another piece of evidence included a self-recorded cell phone video of the two teens cuddling and nuzzling one another.
It wasn’t long after the incident that the teens were arrested, and they were later charged with various crimes in Los Angeles and Utah. They are being held without bail. Despite their young age, they will most likely be given a life sentence with the chance of parole.
Although the two teenagers had been accused of murder, they pleaded guilty to four counts of fraudulent use of credit cards. The pair were also charged with arson and conspiracy to commit robbery. Ultimately, they were both sentenced to 22 years in prison. Those sentences were part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
During the trial, prosecutors revealed that the two teens were caught on surveillance videos. Their conversations were recorded, and the teens were seen purchasing things. Several potential weapons were also discovered, such as a chainsaw and a hand saw. One of the potential weapons appears to have blood on it. Other items purchased by the teens include a circular saw, bleach, disposable gloves, and a drop cloth.
Ultimately, they will face a sentencing hearing in July. While they aren’t facing capital punishment, prosecutors say that they may seek the death penalty for Guerrero. Since he is 18 years old, he could also be given the death penalty.
When Sierra and Aaron Guerrero were arrested, they were taken into custody in Utah. They were extradited to Los Angeles and were charged with a variety of crimes. The pair was formally charged with arson, conspiracy to commit robbery, and multiple counts of murder.
