^ Louis Ray Perez, 49, and Dorothy Maraglino, 40 (left and center), were convicted of Brittany Killgore's kidnapping and murder in October 2015. They were sentenced to life in prison yesterday. Jessica Lynn Lopez (^right), was also convicted of murder and is expected to be sentenced later.
Brittany was divorcing her husband, a Marine stationed in Afghanistan. Fellow Marine, Louis Ray Perez, 49, offered to help 22-year-old Brittany pack and move her things.
Brittany was moving from near the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base in California back to Pennsylvania. Perez invited Brittany to dinner before her move and she accepted.
That night in April 2012, she texted a friend, "help". Her nude body was found four days later near a lake in Riverside, CA.
Turns out, Perez, Maraglino and Lopez were involved in an S&M sex slave triangle and Perez had lured and kidnapped unsuspecting Brittany. Prosecutors said the trio killed Brittany to fulfill their sadistic fantasies.
A stun baton found in the back of Perez's SUV had Brittany's DNA on it. A plastic sheet in the back of Perez's car also had the victim's blood on it.
Of course, the defendants pointed the finger at each other as being the one who actually killed Brittany. Luckily, the jury didn't buy the finger pointing routine and found them all guilty.
