SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - The family of a California woman who was raped, killed and left in a trash bin has sued the U.S. probation agency - accusing agents of providing lax oversight of two convicted sex offenders who authorities suspect of carrying out that murder and others.
The Orange County Register reported Wednesday (https://bit.ly/2iLUClw ) that attorneys for Jarrae Estepp’s mother filed the federal wrongful-death lawsuit in Santa Ana.
The lawsuit comes just two weeks after a jury recommended the death sentence for Steven Gordon, who along with Franc Cano was charged with the murders of Estepp and three other women.
