encounter a needle. it was worth a. try so trapp called this woman, who laura low mentally. they will all have a gps meter. was there gps meter here where he jarrae was last making a phone call, or. here what s where the chances? she got a hit in both locations. she called detective trapp. there s only one person. she said i know. him i said who? she said, his name is the franc cano, he s a registered sex offender. in 2007, franc cano committed allude act on a minor. he was not put on a gps monitor. next question, did franc cano monitor put him near the places where the other three women, according to phone records,
neck and i said, no, i m not waiting anymore. they re going to run. they re going to run. reporter: time to move. fast. they caught up to franc cano as he was boarding a bus. and steven gordon? they found him where he worked, an auto body shop next door to hardy windows. but he made a run for it. and ran out the door? on a bicycle, yes. he had a little collision with one of our surveillance units and a little flying over the handle bars. and he was taken into custody. reporter: both men were charged with four counts each of first-degree murder and forcible rape. and detective trapp prepared to confront a suspected serial killer. coming up i knew this was going to be a lot different than any other interview i had done. he s cunning, manipulative. he didn t have to talk to
there s only one person. she s like, i know him. i said, who? and she s all, his name s franc cano, he s a registered sex offender. reporter: in 2007, franc cano pleaded guilty to committing a lewd act on a minor. he was now on parole wearing a gps monitor. but now next question, did franc cano s monitor put him near the places those other three women, according to phone records, made their last calls? kianna, josephine, and martha? one by one, the detective entered the coordinates. and every intersection for the that date and time that they gave me, franc cano came up. wow. for every single intersection. it was it was i was shocked. reporter: but something about that man, franc cano. he had a buddy. and lomeli had run into them both. i mentioned, you know, i do know that he has a friend
that s steven gordon. reporter: steven gordon. he d done time for molesting a minor and later for kidnapping. he and cano were inseparable, apparently. once again, detective lomeli pulled up the gps coordinates. she checked the place martha was last seen in santa ana, and? no gordon. not there. but when she checked locations for kianna and josephine, sure enough, there he was. so why not at that first location? she checked the record and discovered that at that particular moment, gordon wasn t on a gps monitor, but he was wearing one at the other three places, and so was cano. the electronics made it absolutely obvious, here they were, cano and gordon driving together up and down beach boulevard and all around santa ana and anaheim. i mean, even when they re on the freeway they were in the same car? they were in the same
i i just think because she s so helpless. you re on the street, you re working as a prostitute and you run into steve gordon and franc cano and your last hours on this earth are horrific. and then they discard you like trash. reporter: trash. detective trapp is still haunted by trash. and that keeps bringing her mind back here. even though it is a landfill, i mean, it is quite peaceful when it s quiet. reporter: somewhere under here, in addition to kianna, josephine, and martha, there was victim number five. and so detective trapp worked her sources until she had a name. it would be reasonable to say, okay, that s her. absolutely. she s here. logically, yes, absolutely. reporter: and yet, when we spoke with her, she couldn t quite bring herself to tell yet
