In an emotional interview with the New York Post, Dusty and Leslie Giles said they made the decision about a month after their daughter, Christy Giles, 24, was found dead outside a California hospital in November 2021. The parents said Christy was to wear the dress in a wedding ceremony for family and friends after she and her fiance, Jan Cilliers, jetted off to the Burning Man festival in 2019. “I asked Jan if I could take it so we could bury her in her wedding dress,” Dusty’s mother said through tears, according to The Post, “It won’t be on her, but I didn’t want anyone else. wear it. It is hers and unfortunately she never got to make her wedding.’ She was buried in Alabama where her parents live, the same state for which the wedding was planned. Christy Giles, 24, was found dead of a drug overdose outside a California hospital in November 2021 Christy’s parents, Dusty and Leslie Giles, said they decided to bury their daughter in her unwearable wedding dress. Christy’s parents also told how her body had begun to decompose by the time she was buried and that her once perfect face had begun to collapse on one side. Dusty said she asked the coroner to angle her daughter’s face so they could hold an open casket. The sight was so devastating that Leslie’s father chose not to see his daughter. “I couldn’t look at her … I didn’t see her at all,” he said. Overcome with grief recounting the memory, he then had to drop out of the interview according to The Post. “He made the decision not to see her because it was too much,” Dusty said of her husband, “She was ‘daddy’s’ girl. All this is still too much. How do we cope? We are broken, trying to lift an unbearable burden.’ Christy’s wedding dress was never worn. She and her parents were planning a ceremony in Alabama, but she was buried there A box containing Christy’s wedding dress and many other items, which was buried next to Christy Giles was found on the sidewalk at the Hospital of Southern California in Culver City on November 13, 2021. She died a short time later of an overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and other drugs. A few hours later, Hilda’s friend Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26, was dropped off at Kaiser West Los Angeles. He remained in a coma until he died on November 24 of organ failure and poisoning from cocaine, MDMA and possibly other drugs.
Their deaths were ruled a drug-induced homicide. Surveillance video showed their bodies being dumped by three masked men driving an unlicensed Toyota Prius, and a month later Hollywood producer David Pierce, 39, was arrested on suspicion of murder. His roommate, actor Brandt Osborn, 42, was also arrested. Both men now face murder charges. Pearce also faces unrelated charges of rape and sexual assault by seven women, many of whom claim they were drugged while with him.
In addition to the manslaughter charges related to Christie’s death, he also faces two more felony counts of selling or offering to sell the women a controlled substance that lead to their drug-induced homicides. If convicted of all charges, Pearce faces up to 120 years in prison. Giles (left) and Cabrales-Arzola (right) were found to have overdosed after being thrown out of two separate hospitals in LA on November 13 Pearce was photographed partying with Cabralez-Arzola hours before her death. The young architect was also snapped having a good time with Giles in gripping pictures depicting the final hours before their tragic murder. The Times reported that he and the women had met at the warehouse party in Los Angeles that night, where Cabrales texted Giles around 4 a.m. asking if he wanted cocaine, according to a search warrant affidavit by Det. Jonathan Vander Lee. “I’m in the kitchen,” Cabrales replied to Giles, “Let’s make a line.” Surveillance cameras at the warehouse captured Cabrales and Giles leaving the party with the three men: Pearce, Ansbach and Osborn in Osborn’s Hyundai. He was at Pearce’s flat around 5am About twenty minutes later, Giles texted her friend: “Let’s go,” along with a wide-eyed emoji. “Yes,” Cabrales replied. “I’ll call an Uber. 10 minutes away.’ Pearce also faces a number of felony sexual assault charges in a series of unrelated cases – as the LA DA warned he may have other victims (pictured in 2018) Pearce, 40, and Brandt Osborn, 42, (pictured) face manslaughter charges in the Nov. 13 deaths of Christy Giles, 24, and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26. According to video, a car, believed to be an Uber, arrived at the apartment and was then seen leaving after waiting for five minutes. “A glaring fact is that both Giles and Cabrales wanted to leave the Pierce residence, as evidenced by their texts and ordering an Uber,” Vander Lee wrote. “The next time they see them, they’re dead.” Cameras later captured Pearce carrying Giles’ body into his Prius and driving to a hospital, where she was left on the sidewalk, Vander Lee wrote. The same happened with Cabrales. Vander Lee recalled in his affidavit that detectives spoke with a “visibly nervous” Osborn, who said he did not see Giles or Cabrales taking drugs. “I didn’t give them anything, OK, I don’t live like that,” Osborne said. He said “they were making noises but I thought I’d give them a couple of hours and they’d be out of it but they seemed to be getting progressively worse”. Osborne said he panicked because he had never been in this situation before. “We didn’t know them,” he added, saying he didn’t bring them to the same hospital because “we didn’t know what that would be like.”
