00:00We would go to the slideshows.
00:14We definitely turn heads.
00:16We were the takeovers.
00:18We would walk around like our shit doesn't stink.
00:20People are just intimidated.
00:22When they see us, when they see how we dress,
00:24how we come and how we talk,
00:25they're intimidated by who we are.
00:27We would get the dirty looks from girls a lot of the time.
00:31She was just sitting in the car,
00:33and this girl opened up the door and was screaming, going off.
00:37And that's when it, like, really, really hit me
00:39that something is wrong.
00:41I see blood in the hallway as well as a hole in the wall.
00:46I was in utter shock, just in disbelief.
00:49I remember I couldn't feel my body.
00:51How crazy and delusional are you?
00:52I think she's just one bitter evil bitch.
00:57If you were a young woman in Oakland, California,
01:10looking for fun on a Friday night during the pandemic,
01:13chances are you might find yourself
01:15at a fast and furious underground phenomenon
01:18known as a sideshow.
01:20I can't really tell you about the origin
01:22because it's been going on for so, so long.
01:24Sideshows have been embedded into the car scene
01:26since the beginning of the car scene.
01:28That's why Fast and Furious has so many sideshows
01:31and takeovers references in the movie,
01:33because it's been around for so long.
01:35I would describe sideshows as a place
01:37where you can show your car off,
01:38the sound of it, the speed of it,
01:40and your driving skills.
01:43We call them shutdowns.
01:56They shut down intersections, bridges, even freeways.
02:02There was a huge circle of people around,
02:04and then in the middle of the intersection,
02:06it's just the cars doing donuts,
02:09and everybody's just standing around watching, recording.
02:12It was in different areas,
02:14so Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco,
02:18like the entire SAC in the Bay Area.
02:21It was a huge thing.
02:23Impeding traffic, driving recklessly,
02:25putting everyone at risk,
02:26and then speeding off when the cops show up.
02:28It's kind of a recipe for disaster, if you ask me.
02:32What was fun was just having something to do
02:35during that time of the pandemic
02:37and everything was shut down.
02:38All, like, clubs, bars, all those were closed.
02:42It was, like, an outlet for people to go do something.
02:47For the young, mostly male drivers in the scene,
02:50it's a chance to chase clout
02:52by showing off their souped-up modified rides.
02:55And for most of the young women...
02:57There's car girls that are into it for the cars,
03:00and then there's car girls that are more into it
03:02for the scene itself.
03:03The women are hoes, okay?
03:06They're hoes out there looking for their fish,
03:09but thinking, who's Carmichael being?
03:12I can't say they're all hoes,
03:13but at least 60% of them are hoes.
03:16You feel me?
03:17I'm so excited.
03:18It was a sideshow community,
03:19so everybody had their own little clicks.
03:22The clicks had their own little names and stuff.
03:25Like, we were the takeovers.
03:27And as in every click,
03:28each girl in the takeovers has a role to play.
03:33Kiara is the proud and playful party girl.
03:35has a role to play Kiera is the proud and playful party girl I mean beer pong
03:41drinking games drunk twister like eff it let's do it then there's Amy the
03:47bonafide car expert with a need for speed I drove a McLaren yesterday $200,000
03:55car and it was the best feeling in the world Sarah doesn't care much about cars
04:01but it's always happy to come along for the ride it was always just like oh
04:06you'll have fun just come whatever and they were really fun in the beginning
04:11to sacrament is kind of boring and there's not a lot going on and the glue
04:15holding the takeovers together is 19 year old college student and influencer
04:20in the making Leilani Beacham she's just hella tight she's just that girl like
04:29period she's pretty she got a body you feel me and she don't play no games like
04:33you know like she's just that girl her personality was super big I really
04:38wasn't into cars that much until I met her she kind of brought me into the world
04:44I'm Leilani's best friend like soulmate period we met in like first grade at
04:52elementary school and it was just really like thing one thing too when we were
04:59little she wanted to be a little model for the cars or whatever I said okay girl
05:03you can do it you better you we we finna be models okay but she has an
05:09attitude she got a mouth just like me you know like don't play
05:15get in like a drum don't need a reason she'd be very blunt for sure but that's why we get along
05:23because we're the same I remember me facetiming her like one time she answered the phone and
05:31she's like what do you want and I was like try again we love to instigate each other a little bit
05:40but like as a joke with Leilani leading the pack the takeovers are impossible to ignore when we would
05:50show up at the car meets we definitely turn heads oh my gosh we were very out there spunky spontaneous
06:00we all look good all dressed very good we'd walk in always head held high not that anyone wants to
06:07sound conceited honestly no we were we were most definitely conceited we would walk around like
06:16our shit doesn't stink most definitely the guys would definitely try to show out as well they would
06:28wash their cars polish them up get a fresh oil change so they could rev the crap out of it
06:34revving your car was one way to get attention and also give it so if you were a cute girl walking
06:45by it was a great way to maybe get their attention Milani definitely got a lot of revs even just out in
06:54public in general they would rev it and just blow everyone's ears out I mean it's crazy
07:01but people are just intimidated when they see us when they see how we dress how we come and how we
07:07talk they're intimidated by who we are it's like there's ranks to it it was very competitive very
07:14very competitive and very sexist too at the top of the ladder are the girls who drive you'll see some
07:23of the best drivers are women those girls get the most respect that's like one side and then there's the
07:29car models who are not car enthusiasts they will have their lashes done they'll have their hair
07:35done those girls will get asked a lot of the times hey can you take a picture in front of my car I
07:39mean I've even seen girls half naked posing on cars in front of everyone I don't think the car scene
07:49necessarily respects those girls then there's also being passenger princess those girls sit in the car and
07:55just sit in passenger they don't want to get out passenger princess you get to sit and be pretty be
08:03cute take the pictures get driven around it's kind of a flex to have a pretty girl in your passenger seat
08:10I would say that Leilani was a passenger princess who wanted to be in the driver's seat she was a
08:20girly girl she liked makeup she liked nails jewelry hair clothes she likes to sit in a passenger seat and
08:28look pretty and be cute but if someone offered her hey you want to drive my car she's saying yes
08:35she's in it for both and then there are the girls who have been around the block more than a few times
08:42there's the older people and those are probably the ogs you'd see them around and you know of them
08:48but I never really affiliated myself or like went out my way to be like oh my god hi or can I you know
08:54it was never really like that the ogs are led by 24 year old Jessica Quintanilla who has been
09:01organizing these events since before the pandemic we would get the dirty looks from girls like Jessica a
09:08lot of the time I don't know if it's because they're insecure or they think we're there for
09:13their man because we're not so the people like Jessica I definitely would keep going Jessica works
09:23in the assisted care home where she's giving back and helping out the elderly but she also is this
09:30popular party girl who goes to these parties passes word around for these side shows isn't afraid to fight
09:37people kind of gets what she wants she felt that she was in a place to tell people what to do with
09:44these side shows not necessarily like demanding respect but I guess bossy would be a loose term I
09:50can use where she would felt that she can boss people into hey this is how my side shows gonna be
09:55the car show community it brings whole different types of groups that are coming like people that
10:01are in gangs people are bringing guns who are getting ran over people are getting arrested and
10:07it was like a normal thing if you're at a slideshow and it's attracting the wrong type of crowd it can
10:15definitely turn into a dangerous situation where your life could be on the line anytime I'm going to
10:22like a party or a car meet a slideshow I'm definitely cautious of who I interact with and who I piss off I
10:31remember one night Leilani was at a side show party and a couple of our other friends were there too
10:41this girl got into a fight with somebody and had a handle liquor bottle in her hand
10:51and smashed it over somebody else's head
10:57Leilani told me about it happening I was like oh snap this world is scary but you know I don't
11:06think you realize certain things so you know it happens to you
11:09when we would go to the car meets we would definitely dress a certain type of way we don't
11:23know who we're gonna meet sometimes celebrities would attend these events like car influencers it was
11:30definitely like a setting where you would go to see and be seen I would say it's
11:37also a great place to meet a significant other and in early 2021 that's exactly what happens to 19
11:46year old leader of the takeovers Leilani Beacham we always talk about our dating scene our love life
11:52you know our sneaky links whatever whatnot it's what we do we're girls there's like this one guy she was
11:59messing with you know like Juan I met him he seemed cool you know so I was like period go girl get it
12:06Juan is 20 year old Juan para Peralta an airman with the US Air Force and when he is not busy with Uncle Sam
12:14he's a major player in the local underground car scene Juan is very popular and very well known in
12:21the sideshow community it's Instagram had you know a lot of traction he was coordinating some sideshows
12:27he was passing work a lot of people that were going to these knew who Juan was I remember she
12:34had told us about an interest that she had in him she knew him for about a year she was proud of the
12:40fact that Juan was an airman that he was in the Air Force my father's a colonel in the Air Force being
12:48around Juan in the car show community kind of just levels you up and you have more status being around
12:56him or you know if he messes with you then you're good and maybe that's kind of what drawn Leilani to
13:03him the first time we hung out he seemed cool but I will say like he definitely thought he was the shit
13:13I definitely got the womanizer impression it just rubbed me wrong you know the cockiness it's like calm down you know like you're not all that
13:24but I respected that but I respected that Leilani was in control of the situation she knew what she wanted
13:32she knew what she didn't want and what Leilani appears to want with Juan in May of 2021 is to be
13:38his passenger princess while at the same time keeping things casual it was more because of her last
13:45relationship she was in was about two and a half years and she finally decided she was done she's in
13:51college she's not ready to jump into a serious relationship right away she just wasn't ready
13:57to commit just yet that's kind of what she told me she said you know I like him but I'm still young
14:04I'm still doing my thing in college I don't think I'm ready to be in a committed relationship with him
14:10not yet and I said okay just take your time we all kind of knew they were you know together but it's not like I seen
14:20him as a future husband and that's a good thing because after a few months of casual dating Leilani snoops
14:29on Juan's socials and makes a startling discovery Leilani found out that Juan he has a whole wife in Texas
14:37no like bye
14:40to my understanding uh Juan was not fully divorced but in the process of getting a divorce with a woman that lived in Texas
14:53so he although not with this woman anymore was maybe legally still with her I do know that he did move back
15:02from Texas or come from Texas prior to them getting together but we didn't know you know what's going
15:08on with most of these guys lives if they have another side chick on the side or five side chicks on the
15:14side like we didn't know that it was never really anything like that we took seriously
15:19she had talked to him a couple times about it and Juan said it's not a big deal but Leilani did you know
15:29vent to me multiple times about how she doesn't really trust him but she wasn't looking for a serious
15:35relationship the whole situation with the ex is messy in itself I mean he is messy I just told Leilani
15:45I love you and I care about you but I don't think this is the right way but who am I to tell you what
15:51to do you're a grown woman for now Leilani is fine just going with the flow but in October of 2021 roughly
16:01six months into their situationship she finds out that not all Juan's exes live in Texas
16:08it was kind of just like any other time you know she was just going to sideshow
16:20with her friends and Juan was there she got in the car with Juan and another one of our friends was in
16:28the driver's seat she was sitting in the car with Juan and some girl opened up the door and was screaming
16:37going off she had told her to get the out pulling on the door handle and saying to get out the car
16:47Leilani is not a physical fighter she's never been that way but she absolutely did not like screaming
16:56and yelling I think it was like happening so fast this girl was right in her face you can't really
17:04predict you know anyone can do anything
17:07but Lonnie was like who the is you talking to we can really make this happen we can squabble up
17:22but you're not finna play with me in front of my friend during that incident it's to my understanding
17:27that Juan doesn't get involved so it didn't seem like he had any input in that argument at all
17:34the only reason no fight broke out or anything like that is because the guy that was driving was
17:48like no this is my car like she can be in here she's my friend too like it's my car it wasn't even
17:54Juan's car so that was the only reason why nothing escalated was because it kind of got shut down at
18:01that point but that's also when it clicked in Leilani's mind oh this is the same girl that I saw at a
18:11party hit some girl in the head with the bottle she didn't know her name at the time but now we know
18:18it was Jessica as in Jessica Quintanilla that 24 year old slideshow OG who's been casting shady
18:27eyes at Leilani and her crew since they stepped on the scene I learned that there was a relationship
18:35between Jessica and Juan and from my understanding she was dating him before Leilani for less than a
18:43month off and on they were not very serious at all and every time her and Juan had a breakup he's
18:52talking to other females whether it's Leilani or anybody else I just know that Leilani was kind of
19:01like that was really like weird and why would she care they're exes and like you move on you go on with
19:09life after that maybe Juan was Jessica's escape because he's had a nice car and a status in the
19:17community Juan had made a name for himself he was a very well-known car guy so I don't know if Jessica
19:24really did like him out of all the 30 million guys she was talking to at the time I don't know
19:29but jealousy thing I guess I'd see where it could come in especially from older people
19:34girls like Jessica it's like how crazy and delusional are you you feel me like girl please
19:42there's seven billion men in this world you worried about this little old fish bye no that's when Leilani
19:48decides that the juice from Juan's status isn't worth the squeeze after that situation Leilani
19:55definitely wanted to keep her distance a little bit but Juan isn't exactly used to being ignored
20:02he definitely was contacting Leilani more than he usually would asking how she's doing like maybe
20:08he he could see that she's kind of pulling away from him and that made him want to pull more realizing
20:14that she's not as interested as maybe she once was I remember Leilani messaged me saying oh I'm gonna go
20:30to my friend Sarah's house for Halloween this weekend and she was asking for a little bit of extra
20:37money to support her with her costumes Leilani was definitely excited about Halloween I wore this dress
20:48that had a skeleton on it and then the night that we went out she was like a swat or something like
20:54that she had a swat outfit on we had like a list of like 10 parties we wanted to go to and like one
21:03night don't even know what the heck we were thinking we met at this first party Sarah and Leilani were
21:11with each other then we were there at the second house when Juan had showed up he wasn't by himself
21:21he showed up with somebody I don't know who he was with it was a taller guy Damian Ponderous is one pair
21:27Peralta's friend they're inseparable they're both active duty enlisted service members at Travis Air Force
21:33Base and they consider each other best friends so much so where Juan has Damian's name tattooed on him
21:38I have a lot of close friends not one of their names is tattooed on me so that's how close they
21:43are Juan and Damian do everything together so Juan and his friend showed up and me Leilani Sarah we
21:52were already in our own little group together we were drinking that night when you're 19 your hormones
22:03are also everywhere after a while she was like okay I'm gonna go leave with Juan I'm gonna go get
22:10some and I'm like period bitch like you know like okay women are like men men are like women hate to
22:15say it but like her intentions weren't going on boyfriend girlfriend or like you know it was just
22:21supposed to be like just a one-night thing again I taught her have fun love you be safe let me
22:27know when you get there and then um that was pretty much it it was like three in the morning at the
22:34point I was a little worried because Juan lives in Fairfield and that's about 45 minutes from my house
22:41but I had her location so you know I wasn't too worried when she had left in their car she texted me
22:49and she got there that everything is good she texted me again towards the morning just saying
23:00that she can't sleep she was kind of over it being with him at that point she had snapchatted me the
23:07picture of him next to her and she's okay I just want to leave like I kind of want to wake him up and
23:13have him take me home I was like well then wake him up so that you can come over and he can drop you
23:20off and at that point she told me okay well I'm gonna try to go to sleep 8 30 in the morning it was
23:38like an hour or and a half or something since we last talked I was asleep at this point she had
23:43FaceTime me I just heard arguing on the phone and she was like whispering on the phone with me saying
23:55that some girl was there and I was like what are you talking about like who I kept trying to ask her
24:01questions and ask her things and she wasn't saying anything and it sounded like she was like hiding or
24:09something I remember she said I'll call you back and it just hung up fast something is not right
24:19I messaged Lelani in the morning and she hadn't messaged me yet and I figured oh she must have
24:36gotten really tired or had a lot of fun that night and I want to say I started to kind of wonder a little
24:43bit maybe around 11 12 o'clock normally by then it doesn't matter how late she was up the night
24:49before she would still find a way to get up around 1 o'clock 1 30 I messaged her finally thinking okay
24:57it's late enough didn't hear from her this isn't like her Lelani was always super communicative I was
25:06able to get all the numbers within the last 24 48 hours that she was in communication with Halloween I
25:16woke up to Violet Lelani's mom like have you heard from Lelani I've seen you were in the last text
25:22messages that's when I got that sick feeling in my stomach something was off and then I texted her
25:29back and I was like I haven't her mom also sent me a text she's like Lelani's missing just in that I'm
25:38like what the heck like why would my best friend be missing her mom's saying that she's not responding
25:45her location is off no one's texts are going through and so we're all freaking out everything
25:54was running through my head did her phone die did she run away did she get arrested like I don't know
26:01I messaged every single one of them with do you know really Lonnie is you're the last person she talked
26:10to everybody messaged me back except for one number and it turned out to be the number of the person that
26:18she was spending the night with I don't remember who I heard it from exactly but there were several
26:30people that were trying to get a hold of Juan and they couldn't so he was missing too
26:38when Leilani's mom reaches Sarah she tells her all about their FaceTime earlier that morning I felt
26:45responsible that I saw her last her car is still at my house like her bags are still at my house
26:52everything that she brought for the weekend that we were supposed to spend together is still at my
26:57house and then coming like 4 p.m. the sun's going down now I'm just like for sure something's wrong and
27:05after speaking with Leilani's mom Sarah realizes it's time to take action that's when I call the police
27:14to do a missing persons report on her I got called out to investigate on October 31st on Halloween in
27:31the afternoon I was told that there was a missing persons case that had some level of suspicion to it
27:37I begin by contacting the last known people that the person was with Sarah knows that Leilani ended up
27:48at Juan's house that's there's no question about that I got his address I called back the police to
27:55give him the address of his house Juan lives off base he lives in a house that's not affiliated to the
28:02military so I have detectives at the house no one answers but from outside police get a big whiff of
28:12probable cause the detectives they smell bleach it was overpowering when they enter Juan's house they see
28:21what they believe to be as blood in the hallway leading up to the bedroom as well as the stairs leading
28:27to the garage they see a hole in the wall and in the bedroom that belongs to Juan so based off the
28:37evidence that was seen even to the naked eye by detectives it was the assumption that Juan's bedroom
28:43was a crime scene during that time I was calling Juan and Leilani and leaving voicemails we were flagging
28:55license plates we're trying to backtrack video cameras in the city making countless phone calls
29:02to anybody and everybody we could as detectives work frantically to track down Juan and Leilani her
29:09friends and family get more desperate by the minute I'm making posts pictures videos that I had from us the
29:17night before what she was last seen and wearing in I just kept posting posting posting it's really all I
29:24I can remember doing and then just constantly checking in with Violet if we heard anything yet from
29:31anybody I was on and off the phone with police literally all night calling them with anything I
29:40could find it was obviously very nervous and scared trying to find her I couldn't get any sleep
29:47No
29:53Leilani left that party with Juan and Damien active duty airmen at the Travis Air Force base Damien lives on base
30:05so that's where I went first because I knew that the first human to human interaction I could have was with Damien Ponders
30:12i speak to damien and as part of most missing persons cases we asked what were you guys doing
30:22you know leilani and juan's location just your general questions and
30:29you could tell he was more than just nervous he had something to say and i even threw out there
30:39even if they're dead just let me know where they are it's a question that i asked just to kind of
30:43see a reaction and it was almost unbelievable what his reaction was i've worked many missing
30:50persons cases both on patrol and as a detective asking that question i've never got that response
30:55and it made my heart sink
30:59so i'm sitting speaking with damien he did a big gulp his hands were just dripping sweat i've never
31:15seen that but i wasn't thinking he was going to say what ended up coming out in the case
31:23the way damien describes it is that that morning juan called him and asked him to go to walmart
31:29and pick up various cleaning supplies and an air mattress because his mattress is going to be
31:35disposed of and damien isn't one to ever question juan's orders i don't know what damien was thinking
31:42but his allegiance with juan is that when juan needs something i just do it
31:46damien goes to walmart and buys the items that were requested he eventually shows up back at the house
31:57and that's where damien learns the terrible truth of what happened that morning
32:02juan tells damien leilani beecham is dead that she was killed and that her body was removed from the
32:10house it's now all hands on deck to track down juan and find leilani's body
32:16because juan is a service member i knew that his command can order him to come to base
32:24so we worked with his command and i was calling juan and just trying to get him to come in
32:30and through my voicemails and his command reaching out to him they ordered him to come back to base
32:36that's where juan drives to the traverse air force base from wherever he was at
32:42when i walked in the room i don't know if maybe he saw my demeanor maybe there was a sense of
32:49confidence but juan knew that damien told us what happened and he essentially goes i know you know
32:55everything so i might as well tell the truth now
32:58juan states that that morning juan and leilani are in bed and it's at that time when juan's ex-girlfriend
33:08shows up at the house juan then tells investigators that girl is the same one who confronted leilani
33:15just a few weeks before sideshow og jessica quintania jessica enters the house
33:22she lets herself in unannounced goes up to juan's room
33:26juan jumps out of the bed this is when leilani is in that facetime call with sarah
33:33there's a verbal argument that kind of goes on between jessica and juan
33:39and that's when leilani is discovered in the bed
33:44juan then says that jessica leaves the room and then jessica returns to the firearm
33:51and shoots leilani beat him in the head
33:58following that jessica looks at juan and says something to the effect of you made me do this
34:09and you're going to help me juan states that he was in fear that she just killed somebody
34:15and she can do it to him according to juan this is when an armed and dangerous jessica
34:22contacts her older brother marco quintania to help get rid of leilani's body they end up
34:29bringing leilani's body downstairs through the garage into his car after that leilani's body is
34:36driven to monterey county it's a few hours away indisposed of by juan and jessica
34:43so we put juan in a patrol car and he led us to where leilani was at
34:51the area was remote and she was wrapped in a blanket that was on the bed
34:59that's how we found her was wrapped in that blanket
35:03by this time we had about 100 people ready to start searching for her i was ready to start
35:13printing out flyers we were putting together a reward whatever they needed
35:17and then that's when the detective that was on the case updated us that leilani was gone
35:24and i think i was in utter shock just in disbelief i remember i couldn't feel my body
35:37i was just utterly shattered and hurt i was in so much pain i lost all the love i had to me
35:44i didn't know i was able to breathe
35:49her mom sent me a text she told me she's gone
36:05i'm sorry
36:08it was just crazy
36:14you know
36:17it was crazy
36:20i don't really know what else to say
36:25i just kind of was like
36:29numb i think
36:32i didn't want to believe she was dead
36:35it does something to the soul
36:37after that they told us that juan was in custody that damian was in custody
36:50and i remember asking the detective
36:53well where is jessica
36:56and he said well that's the problem we don't know where she is
37:00we know what kind of car she's possibly in because juan told us she's driving a cadillac ctsv
37:07the car there's a very unique sound muscle car sound one of the detectives is a car guy so he knows what that vehicle is
37:14well through a series of surveillance and driving around looking for her that detective heard the vehicle and he heard it drew his attention and that vehicle passed him twice so that was worth checking out and it kind of led to finding jessica she is stopped detained and brought back to our investigations division
37:31when i initially speak with jessica when i initially speak with jessica in the interview rooms at the fairfield pd she doesn't really give off too much emotion at all
37:38it just seemed very very calm alarmingly calm i guess
37:45when i confronted her with the follow-up statements that juan and damian provided she stops talking
37:49but i have probable cause to believe that she was involved in the killing of leilani beecham
37:52jessica has charged with first-degree murder that same day
37:53and listened to her brother marco is also arrested and charged as an
38:12in violence which she has released from the victim money
38:13too many times
38:16is also arrested and charged as an accessory after the fact.
38:21I think the obvious motive is jealousy and anger.
38:25Given that Leilani had a lot more to offer,
38:27maybe it made Jessica feel worthless.
38:30She felt like she had to retaliate in some way
38:32because she wasn't about to be better than her.
38:36If anything, I feel like Jessica was scared
38:39that Leilani was going to, like, take her place or something,
38:42you know, like, in their little hierarchy of weak-ass shit.
38:47But Leilani is just a genuine, beautiful soul.
38:51She's just that girl, and Jessica wanted to be that girl.
38:54Like, be for real, girl. Like, bye.
38:58I think she's just one bitter, evil bitch.
39:04In November of 2024, Jessica and Marco Quintanilla
39:08stand trial for Leilani's murder,
39:11where Jessica is found guilty and sentenced to 25 years to life.
39:15Her brother, Marco, is sentenced to four years.
39:19I think there's always going to be that sense of
39:21there's no such thing as true justice.
39:25And what was interesting was I was prepared to be angry.
39:29Jessica and Marco.
39:30I was prepared to hate them, but I felt nothing for Jessica.
39:36It was almost as if I just was looking straight through her.
39:40It didn't feel like she was an actual person.
39:44It was impossible to have any kind of direct anger towards her.
39:50Juan and Damien are both given immunity
39:54and released in exchange for their statements.
39:57Really, the immunity part, that was a tactic that we had to use
40:02to get his statement in to the trial
40:05to get the conviction of Jessica Quintanilla
40:09and otherwise find justice for Leilani Beecham.
40:11Although Juan has been discharged from the Air Force
40:14under, quote, less than favorable conditions,
40:17he faces no charges for anything related to the crime.
40:21So it's just a disgusting feeling all the way around.
40:25I think Juan is a low-life piece of crap,
40:28and my friend is gone because of him.
40:33This is the worst pain I think anybody can actually endure.
40:43But it's amazing what you can live through.
40:46Leilani talked about wanting to get into real estate.
40:50And after Leilani's passing,
40:52my husband decided he was going to get his broker's license
40:57and fulfill Leilani's dream
40:59to own her own real estate company.
41:03It was only, like, three or four months after her passing.
41:06He studied so hard, and he passed it for her.
41:10She was just more than just my daughter.
41:18She probably encouraged me as much as I encouraged her.
41:23For Leilani, we have to live our lives twice as much.
