Vanessa Bryant testified that first responders who took photos of her dead 13-year-old daughter Gianna 'violated' the girl, and said she was 'devastated' to learn that such images were snapped in spite of Sheriff Alex Villanueva assuring her the crash scene would be secured.
When it turned out that others had either taken or shared photos from the accident, he issued an order to the captains at the Lost Hills station that the photos "can never see the light of day -- make sure that happens. And that's what my staff did."
After the initial inquiry had concluded, around Feb. 28, 2020, the story of the crash-scene photos shared by sheriff's and fire personnel leaked into the media and an official internal affairs investigation opened, the sheriff told jurors."It indicated someone had broken the confidentiality of the investigation," he testified, adding that the news coverage derailed plans for the department to approach the families separately and tell them what had transpired.
"I'm fearful everyday," Chester testified Thursday. "There's been a lot of things that people thought didn't exist -- that have turned up on the internet." Within hours, he began thinking it strange that he hadn't heard from them since they usually kept in close contact. Then his brother-in-law texted, asking if he knew where Sarah was.
"My mind was racing," he said, adding that as he approached Calabasas he could see smoke rising from the hills.
