Victor Serriteno, 33, was convicted for the murder and arson connected to the wildfires that ravaged California in 2020. Priscilla Castro, a woman he met online and subsequently murdered, went missing after meeting him. Her body was discovered two weeks later, burned, during a massive wildfire in the region. The crime highlights the intersection of personal violence with environmental disasters, as authorities linked the arson directly to Serriteno's desperate actions to destroy evidence of his crime.
"Two weeks after she drove to Vacaville to meet Serriteno, Castro's burned remains were found in Stebbins-Cold Canyon near Putah Creek, indicating a gruesome end."
"Investigators ruled the death a homicide, though no cause of death was publicly shared, emphasizing the tragic nature of Castro's disappearance and death."
