These two were the SERIAL killers that Rojas and his band of OVERTIME laden detectives couldn't catch, despite them WEARING TRACKNG DEVICES, We had to rely on the Anaheim PD to crack the case.
I don't see Benavides, Reyna, Valerie Amezcua or Michele bragging about this. Perhaps because while the cops look for serial killers, they take the eye off of their gang "peeps".
The term "peeps" is in reference to a Michele Martinez quote, where she called a GANG MEMBER her "Peep".
