Men Wearing GPS Devices Indicted for Killings
Franc Cano, 28, and Steven Dean Gordon, 45, were charged with murder with special circumstances — including lying in wait, rape and kidnapping — and forcible rape, the Orange County District Attorney’s office said.
If convicted, the men could face a minimum sentence of life in prison or the death penalty.
Prosecutors say Cano and Gordon worked together to sexually assault and kill the California women while the men were wearing the tracking devices ordered after prior sex crimes.
The monitoring systems helped investigators link the pair to the slayings earlier this year after the body of Jarrae Nykkole Estepp was found at an Anaheim trash sorting plant.
