According to Breitbart, after authorities first executed a search warrant on the home in February, they recovered photos on Ortega-Lopez's phone of decap*tated and m*tilated bodies.

The illegal first met the judge's wife after being released from a detention facility and started doing construction work. Cano then invited the illegal to live at their house.
