Arrests made in deaths of LA model Christy Giles, her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola
LOS ANGELES - Arrests have been made in connection with the
deaths of two women who were mysteriously dropped off outside of separate Los
Angeles area hospitals after a night out, Eyewitness News has learned.
The families of Christy Giles and Hilda Marcela
Cabrales-Arzola have each suspected foul play was involved in the deaths of
their daughters after Giles' lifeless body was dropped off at a hospital in
Culver City and Cabrales-Arzola was left unconscious outside a hospital in West
L.A. back in November.
Giles, a 24-year-old model and aspiring actress who moved to
L.A. from Alabama, was dropped off at Southern California Hospital Nov. 13.
Cabrales-Arzola, an aspiring architect from Mexico, was left
in critical condition at Kaiser Permanente West L.A. and later declared brain
dead. One day shy of her 27th birthday on Nov. 28, her family took her off life
support. Her organs were donated.
Brandt Osborn, 42, was arrested on the set of “NCIS: Los
Angeles” in connection with the November deaths of Christy Giles and Hilda
Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, Giles’ husband, Jan Cilliers, said.
Cilliers told The Post that LAPD arrested Osborn and two
other men — David Pearce, 37, and Michael Ansbach, 47 — on Wednesday afternoon
and charged Pearce with manslaughter and the other two men with accessory to
manslaughter.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office, Pearce
is being held on $1 million bail. Osborn and Ansbach, a Poughkeepsie, NY
native, are being held on $100,000 bail.
LAPD could not be reached for comment early Thursday
morning.
According to actors Alexandra Creteau and David Murrietta
Jr., both 35, Osborn had divulged to them while on a shoot in November about
partying with women and later dumping their bodies.Family and friends claim the
women were drugged against their will in an apartment in the Pico-Robertson
area after they first visited a club in West Hollywood.
Family has said the last text message Giles sent from her
phone was to Cabrales-Arzola from that apartment, saying "let's go"
with a shocked-face emoji. Cabrales-Arzola replied, "Yes. I'll call an
Uber," and that it was 10 minutes away -- but they never got in that car.
A toxicology report for Cabrales-Arzola stated heroin was found
in her system. Officials concluded Giles' autopsy, but the cause of death was
deferred to a toxicology report, which had not been released.
The families of both women said that neither of them would
have taken the drug willingly.
