“I knocked on the door. There was no answer. Knocked again—No answer. At this point I pretty well assumed she had left for the night & that I was late, and she was upset” - Ashton Kutcher, testifying for the trial of serial killer suspect Michael Gargiulo
Ashton Kutcher points to a drawing of victim Ashley Ellen's residents as he testifies in the murder trial of Michael Gargiulo.
But before he left, he peeked through a window. All the lights were on and he saw what appeared to be red wine stains on the carpet. Kutcher said he had been at a housewarming party at Ellerin’s Hollywood home about a week before where people had been drinking. He wasn’t alarmed.Kutcher’s testimony came in thewhom prosecutors have called a “serial sexual-thrill killer.” Gargiulo faces two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in attacks in the Los Angeles area between 2001 and 2008.
During cross-examination, Kutcher said he was “freaking out” when he spoke with police at the time, noting that his fingerprints were on the door.“Thank you,” Kutcher replied. By February, Kutcher and Ellerin were both single. The night she was killed, they’d made plans to grab dinner and drinks. When they last spoke about 8:30 p.m., Kutcher said that he was running late and that they should just get drinks instead.When he was finally on his way, he tried calling. No answer. He rang her about three more times and left messages.When he got to her house around 10:30 p.m., he thought she couldn’t hear him knocking and tried the front door. It was locked.
Some reported seeing him park in front of her home at all hours, staring at her residence for long periods of time. Her roommate thought he was a stalker.
