Clemente Javier Aguirre was 24 years old in 2004, when he found that his neighbors, Carol Williams and her elderly mother Cheryl Bareis, had been murdered in their home. Terrified that he would be assumed guilty and deported, he left the scene and initially told police he didn’t know anything. When he asked to speak to police later that day, he was arrested.
