Recently unsealed court records give a glimpse into how deep the federal investigation went into the Sonoma Hells Angels and their alleged means of disposing of bodies at the Fresno chapter’s…
Robbie Lane Huff II and Juan Guevara are missing and presumed murdered. Days before a former Fresno chapter president of the Hells Angels is set to be sentenced for aiding the cremation of a man who was murdered by other club members, federal prosecutors have dropped a bombshell, alleging that a local funeral director informed the FBI their were four such illegal cremations.
Federal prosecutors have named two of the others believed to have been cremated, an allegation prosecutors say is backed up by phone records as well as an FBI interview with the man who owned the funeral home where it all occurred. One of them, Robbie Huff, is a Hells Angels memberand Hells Angels member. He was last seen in 2016, in Madera County, which borders on Fresno County, authorities say.
But court records show that informants have been telling the FBI for years that there were other dead bodies that met the same fate as Silva. They allegedly referred to it as the “pizza oven,” a coded phrase that has shown up time and time again in court filings, unsealed FBI paperwork, and testimony in two trials that resulted in convictions against four people for involvement in Silva’s murder.
Testifying at the trio’s 2022 trial, Hardisty admitting to helping plan the murder of Silva, one of his closest friends at the time. Hardisty said he did so by hosting a meeting at his Antioch home where the plan was hashed out. Afterwards, he said Wendt told him the killing had gone as planned and that it was “one of his better murders,” according to court records.
But prosecutors say that phone records obtained by the FBI make up for the funeral home director’s inconsistent statements. The FBI found that Hefferman contacted the funeral home owner in July 2014, when Silva went missing, then again on Feb. 11, 2015, the same day Huff was last seen alive. There were no calls between the two in the interim, prosecutors say.
