Ashton Kutcher Expected To Testify In 'Chiller Killer" Murder Trial
ASHTON KUTCHER IS EXPECTED TO TESTIFY AT THE MURDER TRIAL OF THE SUSPECTED "CHILLER KILLER" SERIAL SLAYER accused of slashing three women to death and attacking another.
In February 2001, Kutcher was dating 22-year-old Ashley Ellerin when she was found stabbed 35 times in her Hollywood apartment. Kutcher, then starring in That 70s Show, was supposed to go on a date with Ellerin the night before she was found. When she did not answer her door, he peered inside and spotted what he thought was a large red wine stain; it was Ellerin's blood.
Kutcher is expected to testify at the trial of Michael Gargiulo, accused of killing Ellerin and and Maria Bruno, 34, who was "butchered 10 days after she moved into Gargiulo's gated El Monte apartment building in 2005,'' according to the LAWeekly.
Gargiulo is also the prime suspect in the stabbing death 18-year-old Tricia Pacaccio of Glenview, Ill. in 1993. Gargiulo had been a friend of Pacaccio's brother.
In 2003, 10 years after Pacaccio's murder, police matched blood collected from her fingernails with Gargiulo's DNA sample. Despite the evidence, Cook County prosecutors refused to charge or even arrest the air-conditioning repairman for the murder -- a decision that LA investigators label as "shenanigans."
Parents of the Glenview girl criticized Illinois prosecutors in an interview with the LA Weekly.
"They should be ashamed of themselves,' said Diane Pacaccio. "There was no way in high hell that the DNA should have been on my daughter."
