A man who has spent nearly 20 years in prison for the murder of a Redlands teen that gained national attention was granted release from prison.
On Tuesday, Damien Matthew Guerrero was granted parole over the objection of the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office, which had asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to intervene. He was granted parole suitability by a Board of Parole Hearings panel on Jan. 31.
However, on Sept. 13, 2003, the two lured her to San Timoteo Canyon in the far northwestern foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains. The two then buried Bullwinkle's body in a shallow grave Guerrero had dug the day before. He had placed a couch over it to cover it up."They created a false alibi with the movie and the dinner and then pretended they didn't know what had happened to her until her body was found, and at first, continued to deny it until Kinzie was the first one who told the police the truth," said Lasky.
Bullwinkle's mother Diana asked for the maximum sentence in her victim impact statement at the time of the trial.
