- Authorities have released shocking new information about a case involving a Camarillo man who is currently behind bars for one murder and was recently linked with another.
Rotherie Durell Foster, 38, was arrested last year in connection with the murder of 35-year-old José Antonio Velásquez, who was reported missing in July 2022 and whose body was found months later off Mulholland Drive in the Santa Monica Mountains. Foster and Velásquez knew each other and were both plumbers, officials from the Ventura County District Attorney's Office and Sheriff's Office said.

Murdered a coworker and still working???
Exactly, how very sad.
And some people can't even get a job!!!!
Really hard to find plumbers these days..
He did get a verbal warning though. The next incident would have been his first write-up. 😂
Right.. I had to rewind it
Awaiting a trial for murder and yet allowed to work in people's homes. This country is so stupid
Emasculated California
NO! He was arrested for murdering his co-worker, and while he was in jail and the investigators were investigating him they found bank transactions from the older man's account into this guy's account so they dug the older man up and found he was murdered the same way this sick guy murdered his co-worker. He murdered the older guy in January of 2022 which was about 10 months before he murdered his co-worker.
not really. Do you wanted guilty until proven innocent?
@@The_North0 He can be in jail until then. That waiting to prove if he's guilty or innocent cost theee people their lives.
@@The_North0 Yes, when it's murder, I want in jail until his speedy trial.
They have this guy going into people’s houses as a plumber with THAT record?!
@@Plutogalaxyyou would think the person who hired this guy would run a background check and see ohh this man killed someone
@@miktmikleson4891 this killer was sent to his home from a company. The company is the one who is supposed to do the background check, not the customer. Unless a customer is hiring someone personally directly, like a neighborhood handyman, no customer even knows who is going to show up at their home from a plumbing company or electric company, etc. This could happen to anyone who calls up a company, and the company sends the guy out who is in that area . The plumbing company is supposed to background check fully and completely and not send criminals to customer homes.
@@Plutogalaxy He worked for a company that dispatches plumbers. That company should have done their due diligence.
Fivefiveqt 214, Exactly, that’s very scary, coworker and customer rest in peace😢🙏
people typically don't run background checks on their plumbers. Specially, and unfortunately so older ppl less likely to do that. Because the world wasn't as perverted and degenerate during their time i suppose.
Committed murder and got out? Put the judge in jail that sentanced him in the first place. Period.
Excellent comment. Rest in peace , Coworker and customer😢🙏
Catch and release
@@ryanray6215 That is ok IF I get to TAG it first😈
qualified immunity🤠
THATS NOT WHAT HAPPENED!
Murdering Co worker? And still out and killed a customer? Ridiculous
No. They found the co-workers body. Killer was arrested. Then while investigating co-worker's murder further, the police discovered another dead guy with suspicious deposits into killer's account. They exhumed that guy's body and found he died from fentanyl overdose just like the co-worker. Now he's charged with two murders. And he'd already served time in the past for manslaughter. Let's hope he wasn't doing any plumbing jobs on the side cause they'll never be able to track down if he murdered any of those folks. They company needs to find out if they have any other missing or dead workers or customers.

Remember when they said all serial killers were W
So .. the plumbing company failed to do a background check on this dude and put their customers at risk 😡
Just recently in a town about 20 minutes away from me an officer did harm to a young lady ( saying his body cam went off, he didn’t realize a business camera caught all of it) that police department had not done a background check on an officer 😡and then found out he had been fired from a previous job for similar circumstances, also an officer from ( I believe) Virginia or west Virginia met a woman online in Colorado, she broke up with him and he drove to Colorado and killed her family and kidnapped her, he had mental health issues prior and had lost a previous job, that department hired him and didn’t do a background check, so if they aren’t checking officers they’re probably not checking anyone 😡

Evil, evil, evil. There is no way this man can be rehabilitated.
How in the world do you make it to murder #3, plus assaults along the way, over a span of 25 years before life without parole is on the table?

Welcome to California in America
Imagine all the people who could’ve been saved if this guy would’ve been charged accordingly for his manslaughter case
Yeah, but holding black people accountable is racist.
@@iloled2924 There have been actual studies done that show that African Americans got longer sentences for the same crimes. This case has nothing to do with race. He was sentenced to 16-years for voluntary manslaughter when he was a teenager in 2002. He was paroled in 2018. We don't know anything about his case to say he got a light sentence. 16 years when you're a teenager is not a light sentence.
When are they going to hold white people like Elizabeth Holmes accountable? She stole hundreds of millions and got 11 years. Someone living in a poor neighborhood stealing $20K would spend more time in prison than her. If you want to be a racist then look at who commits these massive financial frauds. But you won't do that because that doesn't fit your narrative.
Moreover, this guy is more of a serial killer. And we know what group has a bunch of those.

What "large" plumbing company hired this convicted predator?

What a scumbag. The company should have did a background check.
*should "have" done, not have did...
That's the problem though, a former employer can't say anything about a person's character, only they're work record. Or they can get sued for liable.
He was most likely self-employed.
You didn't listen to the story. @@celieneohara521
In Texas the state does the mandatory background check. You lose your license over any DV charge or drug charge immediately.

"the plumber", what a sneaky way to protect his identity. Pathetic. Why isn't he in jail, permanently?
I am convinced that looks really do help you get by because there is no way that a man with that many murder and manslaughter cases was out here living his best life this whole time. Like, dude even had a regular job. So many people out of work right now who deserve to have jobs and he had one. That mess makes me sick! Like, did they not even bother running a background check??? Insane!
That man is extremely dangerous and should never be among the general public.
I wouldn't go as far as calling "it" a man.
This guy should never be let out...
Never ever..
So he was convicted of manslaughter and assault and the plumbing company hired him and sent him into people's homes. I hope the family sues them
How can he get a license as a plumber with a manslaughter conviction? If not a license, then state and federal fingerprint checks should have been mandatory for any job that involves going into the homes of others.
He was an employee of a company that had the Licence.
Legally he would have to be licensed too, or bring someone who is@@stevierayripple
@@stevierayripple So he was a helper not a licensed plumber.

Did you hire people from Home Depot to work ? lol 🤣 must be a scab shop
This is insanity
Why was this person out of prison in the first place, he was and is clearly a danger to society!
Somebody miscalculated. 2 people who met this dude lost their lives in crimes against persons. If he told the cops he didn't do it, but it was just his luck 2 people he met were assaulted, the cops won't buy that off him.
So why wasn't the law vigilant in keeping an eye on this individual, absolutely disgusting another life lost,when it could have been prevented.

another monster who should of been in prison not let out
I can’t even get money out of my mom’s account for her funeral. This guy is draining a poor man’s account.
So sorry for your loss. Learn a lesson from this. Prepay your own funeral expenses and plan your own funeral. I know it's not something anyone wants to think about, but you can see from your experience that it's necessary. Just about any funeral home will allow you to set up a prepayment plan and you can usually get a discount too.
@@justdoingitjim7095No, funeral home do NOT let you make payment plans you have to have ALL the money up front where I'm from. Funeral Homes want all the money, there are no payment plans, I repeat.
@@justdoingitjim7095Absolutely. This is what our mom did. Everything was picked out and paid for except for her burial site but even the cost of that was paid for. There wasn't much of anything for us to do because mom made sure of it. Not only do you get to have the funeral you want (sometimes family members will argue over those details) your surviving family members actual get to grieve without having to worry about those final details. Even if you have life insurance this is a good way to go...

Everyone is so quick to instantly blame a man or woman for their horrific actions but nobody is willing to speak out on the public officials who handle these cases. They release them.
