Two registered sex offenders in California murdered at least four women, including an Oklahoma prostitute whose naked body was discovered in a trash-sorting facility, police say.

Cops busted Steven Gordon, 45, and Franc Cano, 27, on Friday in Anaheim as investigators continued to search the country for other missing women.

[...]

Detectives in Anaheim and Santa Ana picked up the trail following the grisly discovery of Jarrae Nykkole Estepp in March.

The 21-year-old Oklahoma transplant’s nude body was found on a conveyor belt that separates trash from recyclables at an Anaheim facility.

[...]

Detectives connected Estepp’s death to three women reported missing in Santa Ana. Those women — Kianna Jackson, 20, of Las Vegas; Josephine Vargas, 34, and Martha Anaya, 28, both of Santa Ana — were all last seen between October and November, 2013 in Santa Ana.

Gordon and Cano were a couple of drifters, living in RVs not far from the Santa Ana River, authorities said.Both men are sex offenders, convicted of sex acts with kids, law enforcement records show.

were they all prostitues that they killed? If so I wonder if there are more victims that they don't know about. This could get worse.
 
I know when I read the story I wondered the same thing.
I missed the dates they think between the murders. It also seems like a big distance between them with nothing happening that also makes me wonder what went on in between the murders

Two parolees charged with killing four women were wearing GPS trackers at the time of the murders — and there may be many more victims, authorities announced Monday.

Anaheim Chief Raul Quezada said Franc Cano, 27, and Steven Dean Gordon, 45, were both wearing the ankle monitors last fall when the women were killed in Anaheim and Santa Ana.

[....]

Anaheim police began investigating the two men after the body of 21-year-old Jarrae Nykkole Estepp was discovered at an Anaheim recycling plant on March 14.

Santa Ana police soon joined Anaheim homicide detectives to probe the mysterious disappearances of three other women missing since late last year: 34-year-old Josephine Vargas, 20-year-old Kianna Jackson and 28-year-old Martha Anaya.

Police say that all four women were known to frequent a rough Santa Ana neighborhood known for prostitution and drug sales.

Police believe Cano and Gordon have known each other since cutting their ankle bracelets in 2012 and boarding a Greyhound bus to Las Vegas using fake names. The men were arrested by federal agents on May 8, 2012, after a two-week stay at Circus Circus Hotel & Casino, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada.

Both were wanted fugitives: Gordon traveled using the alias Dexter McCoy and Cano chose Joseph Madrid, authorities said.

After fleeing Los Angeles in 2012, the two were re-arrested and both pleaded guilty to failure to register as a sex offender. They were ordered to provide DNA samples and have their computers monitored by federal agents, according to the federal documents, which were first obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

[..]

police have not provided details on what led them to arrest the men for the killings or how they could have committed the crimes while under police supervision. Because the two were in compliance with their monthly check-ins, police had no reason to watch them more closely, Dunn said, and they had not received any requests from other agencies to do so, he said.

The string of disappearances in Santa Ana began in October after Kianna Jackson, of Las Vegas, arrived in the city for a court hearing on four misdemeanor charges of prostitution and loitering to commit prostitution. Her mother said she stopped responding to her text messages soon after she arrived in Santa Ana.

Josephine Monique Vargas was last seen Oct. 24 after leaving a family birthday party to go to a store. The Times said Vargas had a rough past that at times involved drug use and prostitution, but her mother said she had been trying to better her life.

Martha Anaya asked her boyfriend to pick up their 5-year-old daughter so she could work on Nov. 12 then stopped responding to his messages later that night. Police said she also had a history of prostitution.

This is disturbing on so many levels. I don't know how we can build prisons large enough to hold all these fucking sadistic animals. They graduated from child rape to serial killers. Congratulations justice system!
 
I love how they cut the monitors off how many times have we heard that after some monster does shit like this. When will the justice system learn that ankle monitors DON'T work.
 
I am also sad that they were prostitutes because now we will probably never know the actual number of girls they killed and their poor families will always wonder where they are and if they are alright.
 
Cut your ankle bracelets off once, shame on them. Ordering the same bracelets back on, only to have them murder a score of women under such monitoring, shame on the POLICE. Anyone who removes these devices shouldn't be allowed to use them again. They should sit out their probation period/sentencing/whatever in prison.

I know, I know. They likely would return to this behavior once they complete their sentencing. But in the meantime, I don't see why they should be afforded the freedom of ankle bracelets again when they broke that agreement once before.
 
I kinda like the idea of ankle bracelets with tamper proof explosives. You start cutting the thing off, it explodes.
 
I find it particularly disturbing that the one victim's picture is from Human Trafficking Survivor Foundation. Very sad.

I wonder if that means she got pimped out very young or if she escaped once only to get drawn back into prostitution due to lack of other options?

I didn't know that one was from human
trafficking website that is more disturbing thank you for pointing that out

It jumped right out to me. And the fact that she looks quite put together to be still on the streets, at least in that picture. Like she got help and got out and whatever demons that led her to the streets were too powerful and led her back.
 
Fucking incredible so many women could have fallen prey to these two serial fuckers. Sad that our justice system could have prevented this scary that they are meeting while being punished in our justice system and disappointing that our justice system did not punish them when their monitors were cut off it took the murder of these four women for them to realize they fucked up. How many more lives have to be extinguished before they realize our system is broken? BTW didn't anyone notice these two jerks were living together is that allowed? There should be a law prohibiting like minded sickos from living together they just plot, scheme and teach each other. ugh :banghead:

I don't think they noticed because I thought they said they also didn't register but they don't really keep a good eye on these RSO my offender was living at a totally different address than what the cops had I called and bitched before they checked it out and we live in a town that is so small everyone knows everyone
 
Is it really that easy to kill prostitutes?
Seems to be. Some lead transient lifestyles, don't stay in touch with family, are known to be 'missing' for periods of time so it takes a while to report them missing, etc etc etc and last but not least but definitely saddest: average people don't give a shit about hookers, no one cares until it's a 'good girl'.

Green River Killer killed what, 50+? And it took them FOREVER to catch him even though he was right under their nose.
 
Is it really that easy to kill prostitutes?

I don't know that it is easy to commit the act but they will go with a stranger to dark and private places. Not many others would. They also are more transient in nature thus harder to keep track of where they are and that further stalls a lot of the investigation into where/if they are in danger. I'm sure there are also those still of the mentality that they are putting themselves in danger and therfore using already minimal resources to track down a person who places themselves in danger is not worth the effort.
I think that most women who choose prostitution and all those who choose to stand out on the street to solicit as such have been damaged in some way and are victims of their circumstance. (I say most because it seems the 'call girl' status is more of a choice as they have other options but choose sex for their own reasons. Many 'street walkers' are never aware of any options other than selling sex.)

A lot of states have a requirment that felons NOT be in contact with other felons. As these two were constantly in cahoots they should NEVER have been on any conditional release of any kind!!!
 
were they all prostitues that they killed? If so I wonder if there are more victims that they don't know about. This could get worse.

Yeah, I think that this is only the beginning of the body count. These bastards didn't just start out of the blue one afternoon.
 
Search Ends For 3 Believed Killed By Sex Offenders
Authorities have given up the search for three women they believe were killed in Southern California by a pair of convicted sex offenders who were wearing GPS trackers, police said Friday.
Too much time has passed since the women vanished and it would be difficult to search and possibly close for months several landfills where they may have been buried, Anaheim police Lt. Bob Dunn said. "Very seldom do searches of these landfills after that time period produce the actual victims."
