Serial killings testimony: Suspect needed to kill
March 14, 2012
Brea police detective Phillip Rodriguez testified before the grand jury that Ocampo also confessed to stabbing Raquel Estrada, 54, and her oldest son Juan Carlos Herrera, 34, to death in their home in Yorba Linda in October because they were disrespectful to him, according to the transcript.
Ocampo acknowledged that he had been longtime friends with Eder Herrera, Estrada's youngest son, until a few months before the Oct. 25, 2011, slayings and had been to the Herrera house on occasion. Ocampo told Rodriguez that Estrada and Herrera sometimes wouldn't greet him and "seemed to have an attitude," according to the transcript.
Rodriquez also testified that Ocampo was upset when his friendship with Eder Herrera ended, and he "decided he was going to kill them" including Eder Herrera. The detective said Ocampo told him he planned to make it look like Eder Herrera was the killer who later committed suicide.
But Eder Herrera left the house on the night Ocampo committed to his plan.

He told Anaheim Detective Daron Wyatt during one interrogation that he decided to kill homeless people in late 2011 as a community service, and that he stalked and plotted to kill his prey before sneaking up on his victims with a 7-inch knife, according to the transcripts.
"It's a classic case of first-degree murder," Price said
