Clemente Javier Aguirre-Jarquin was 24 years old in 2004 when he entered the home of his neighbors, Carol Williams and her elderly mother Cheryl Bareis, and discovered they had been murdered. Terrified that his presence there would result in deportation back to Honduras, he left and initially told police he didn’t know anything. When he asked to speak to police later that day, he was arrested.
