Fourteen years ago, Ashley Ellerin, an aspiring model was brutally murdered in her home in Hollywood. Before her devastating death, she was dating a newbie - actor, Ashton Kutcher. While he was never a suspect for the killing, he will be involved in the scheduled trial.
Kutcher was said to be in contact with Ellerin before she was killed. In fact, they have scheduled a date that night. Kutcher made multiple phone calls but did not receive a response. He went to Ellerin's house but was not able to see her date. All he could remember was that he saw a dark liquid substance that appeared like red wine. Little did he know that it was Ellerin's blood.
Ellerin was 22 years old when she decided to try her luck in Hollywood. She was from an upper - middle class family from California. She was also very creative and a fashion student when she met her gruesome fate. One report says that Ellerin loved to party and used cocaine and crystal methamphetamine. But even with that lifestyle, she was sweet and had a lot of friends. This includes a heater- repair man, Michael Gargiulo.
Gargiulo, named as the 'Hollywood Ripper', will face trial for the murder of Ellerin. He is also connected to other killings. One of her victims was a promising young girl from Chicago, Tricia Pacaccio, a source reported. When Ellerin's body was found, the crime scene did not suggest that there was a robbery that took place. After all, Ellerin's valuables were still with her. That gave an idea that her killer was someone she knew. According to other people's accounts, Gargiulo was really odd and was always angry. His parents were even afraid of him and said that he might kill him. He really had those tendencies. And now, he will have to face his actions in court.
Even if Kuthcer and Ellerin's romance was short - lived, his testimony will play a role in the trial to establish the time of death, according to a report.
