How someone with 102 arrests (most involving assault, battery, and burglary) is not put away for life is ridiculous. The man was destined to kill someone.

How can someone be arrested *102 times* and still be walking around in public??

Single mothers and their children are often targets for people like this. It’s sad to think what the mother must be going through, regretting every kind gesture she gave to this man.

He has proved many times that he isn't able to live among other people. When people show you what they are, believe them

This is a tragic case. My mom used to leave me alone at home in my pre- teen and teenager days and she would tell me to NEVER OPEN the door for anyone - not even family. 💯 can’t put nothing past anyone. Poor baby. I can only imagine that mothers pain and anger. Your child is your everything. It’s an unbearable pain I can only imagine.

The lady at the beginning is absolutely right, a mother's scream after losing her baby is a sound you can't forget. When my daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer and she was getting chemotherapy in the hospital every other week. And several of the weeks we were there I heard different mother's scream after their child dies. I would just sit and hold my daughter and silently cry listening to the mom. My daughter would always ask what was going on and at first I would just say someone is sad, then the day where one happened in the next room we could hear everything. And I had to tell her that the mom is crying cause her baby went to heaven. I think she understood it she was 6 years old and would cry also. So we would always just try to distract her from what was going on. I wasn't ready for the day when she asked me if that was going to happen to her. No parent deserves to bury their child and as horrific as this was I'm glad they caught the killer. This is just so unimaginable.

The judge that let him out before this case needs to be in jail also.

Can you imagine coming home and opening the door to find your child brutally murdered? I mean seriously, I could not handle that. I would have to unalive myself because of the pain of seeing my child that way and losing her. I just cannot imagine this. I feel so sad for anyone who loses a child, let alone murdered!!

my mom told my sister and I to keep our heads on a swivel, never entertain strangers and be weary of their kindness growing up, and she was so right. He betrayed their kindness, took advantage of the vulnerabilities…condolences to her poor mother

Rest In Peace sweet Angel. My heart goes out to her and her family.

Thing is that the Judges who tried this pos, should be called out publicly because 102 charges is ridiculous. Even hold them liable for endangering the public. Even hold them liable for this innocent girl.

Can you imagine being locked up over 100 times? Seriously, after 5 times, lock away your key, it's obvious at that point a person is useless to society

Pain is indeed a universal language

*HE DID PLAN THIS CRIME. HE CARRIED AROUND LATEX GLOVES &HE KNEW THEIR ROUTINE. HE KNEW WHEN THAT BEAUTIFUL GIRL WAS HOME ALONE. HE LUSTED AFTER HER FOR A WHILE AND WHEN LUST OVERTOOK HIM, HE POUNCED LIKE A LION. THANK JEHOVAH GOD FOR GIVING THE FEMALE OFFICER GREAT INTUITION. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO SOLVED THIS CASE* *WE PRAY SHE'S RESTING WITH JESUS... NO MORE PAIN BABYGIRL*

One thing I've learned, is not to allow strange people in and around your home to cut grass, paint, renovate or repair things and to do odd jobs. People start to get too familiar and they get comfortable thinking they can continue to come around at any given moment. They know the neighbors will not get suspicious because they've been seen there at your home doing work. We just never know who we're allowing around our family members and loved ones. I would suggest starting to ask family and friends to help with things that need to get done or hire a professional company. Better yet, make sure you have surveillance covering the entire home to keep record of who's coming and going at all times. 📸 God bless you baby girl, rest in The arms of God 🙏🌹

I feel so much compassion and sorrow for Yhoana's mother. I lost my son 10 years ago and it still hurts every day. He got to live until he was 33 and didn't die by violence so when I hear stories like this, I wonder how I would have done in their situation.

Gotta love it when sick criminals, like him, talk too much. 💯

Our justice system is a joke!!

My heart breaks for the sister/brother/mother.....having to find their baby girl like that. MY GOD!! Oh I'm so very sorry for their loss.

Oh my god she was strangled with her own belt, a belt I’m sure she had proudly worn many times to her karate classes. Absolutely heartbreaking.

How can he just go home and act like nothing happened

I have zero doubts he was involved. My heart hurts because I don't think he did it alone.

Don’t let children open the door to anyone. Especially not if they are home alone!

I heard that same scream come from my Mom when my Sister was found dead, she was Drugged and robbed by her so called Friends I'll never forget that pain that I heard came from my Mom. Rest in ETERNAL Paradise Babygirl🙏🏽💗🙏🏽💗🙏🏽👍🏽

Smart little girl texting her mum. Rest is peace 😇

I don't understand how someone can be arrested 102 times and be released? Our justice system really is broken.

He never cried about the dead child, now he cries for prison

His rap sheet was only the crimes that he got caught for. That means that he most likely did ten times as many crimes.

If you are wondering how she helped police catch the killer, go to 14:40 it was the text message the girl sent to her mom before she was killed.

Sending my condolences and prayers to the victim's mother and loved ones. Rest in peace Yhoana. 👑🙏🏾🕊💛💫 So glad justice was served.

Why did they never look into the other dna found on her??? Did it not seem weird that other peoples prints and dna were on a girl that was murdered by this one single person???

I’m sorry … he was arrested over 100 times and was still allowed out in society? How tf .. He was destined to hurt someone! Condolences to that baby girl and her family. Wish there was something I could say to somehow make the pain lessen. ❤️

Child murderers truly deserve to rot for eternity in pain and misery!!!!

meanwhile its people locked up for life for smoking bud

Seeing the mom"s raw pain and sobbing @ 21:40 mark just killed my heart. I'm so sad for families that lose their children like this 😢

This is why I hate when parents say "my child is 11 and is old enough to watch themselves or babysit alone". Ummm no they are not. They are children and if someone breaks in many are not old enough to defend themselves against an adult. They act so fast a child can't even get to a weapon fast enough. I thank God I had a granny who watched us and my step dad got home after we got home from school quick enough.

My family has this saying, be mindful of your actions. Because, If you will lie, you will steal, if you steal, you will kill. Everyone please stay safe. This case is very heartbreaking to hear... 🙏🏽

That poor baby. Omg

What makes this sad case even more tragic, is the fact that there was other DNA discovered on her body, as stated in the video of the trial, of at least 3 other people, but Melissa (who is being interviewed), only talks about one person, who was out on probation, and no one knew his whereabouts during the time of the murder). So did they ever find him or the other 2 people, and investigate them further also? Why was their DNA found on her body/crime scene? I feel that this is unfinished, and there is more to it. What is scary, is that there are probably at least a couple others who may have been involved somehow, and they are predators wandering around freely.

Rest in peace precious Yhoana Arteaga. Praying for your mother and family.😭💔🙏🏼🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🕯🕊🙏🏼

How do you not already have DNA of a guy that's been arrested 102 times already?

The female police officer needs to be given more credit here! She had that gut feeling that only God & Guardian Angels can intervene through. She was in the right spirit to do this type of Lightwork. 🕯 ✝️ 🙏 🕊 👼 ☁️

He gave them exactly what happened in his interview when asked why do you think someone would do this....makes total sence that he was knocking on the door to see if anyone was home, broke in to burglarize the home later thinking no one was home and "she surprised him" by being there. Not an excuse by any means but I'm surprised no one caught that.

Why was this man even let out.. My heart breaks for this family.

A mother's anguish a sound that cannot be mistaken.😔

I wonder if they have worked out who the other DNAs found belonged to. 🤔🤔 Just curious

What a punk I’m so sorry for the family

That poor family. The pain in their voices is too much to bear. ❤

That man was a career criminal way before he killed that child, with many arrests and violations of probation. I wonder why was he still on the streets? Yohanna's family should sue the DA's and judges responsible for letting that monster on the streets. They should be held accountable for letting criminals free. 😡

Being rsped while being strangled with no strength to help yourself. That is so disgusting.

My condolences to the family of Yohanna.

Same story, different day. A Monster who shouldn’t have been out on the streets, was out on he streets. Rip beautiful angel.

Funny when killers murder innocent people then CRY when they are found guilty and sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty, some of them even ask the jury for mercy..

How authorities allow ex criminals and cons live next innocent families with children? Innocent people aren't protected especially the poor, and I'm sure the ex criminals would never be allowed to live in rich neighbourhood!!!!

Praying for her mother and family. This is truly sad!

the saddest thing about this is during his interview he said them... when talking about people being in the family's home.. he didn't say 1 person he said them.. and the fact there was other dna there also.. I don't believe he was alone in what happened that night.. people got away here..

rest in power baby girl. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Very sad case. Thank you for narrating it so well.

Her poor mother💔💔💔💔God please comfort her and the siblings. Peace beyond understanding 🙏🏾

It's uncomfortable, to think that they glossed over the fact that there were other prints and DNA they found on the scene. Especially considering that one of the hits was out on probation and couldn't be accounted for. I feel like they took the easy way out of pinning it on the most obvious and quickest to apprehend . I hope this case is investigated again, or independently, although I guess it is considered shut for now.

13 PAROLE VIOLATIONS OMG HE SHOULD OF NEVER BEEN OUT … SPEECHLESS THE HIGHER UPS NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!!!! REST IN POWER 😇 THIS IS SO SADD

rip - cant even be a teen or growing young adult without being preyed on .. someone so vile. I hope you are at peace..

102 arrests? He was a one-man crime wave.

My grandma and my mom would always talk about such dangerous people, would always make sure that we wouldn’t go out of their sight, play only in the yard, do not open the door to anyone, ever, even your uncle , or police. We were always safe with our Grandma around. Parents, just remember, you can’t leave your kids by themselves at such young age by themselves. The poor girl let the guy in. Again, parents please don’t leave kids at home alone!

This is a shame that this baby died in such a terrible way. Who ever did this should have the same fate. Prayers to this family.

How did his DNA land on the girl's butt, if he didn't try to assault her? I'm certain he's guilty asf

I’m glad justice came in for this girl! 😢❤

As always someone with a long criminal past still walking around freely, the first violent crime should be the last, execute them! No probation, no mild sentence

I hope the little girl is resting peacefully knowing her murderer will never get the chance to do that to another child. Prayers for this girls family and friends. What a horrible situation. I hope that dude gets the same treatment in jail they gave Jeffrey Dahmer.

So horrifyingly heart breaking. So sorry for the mom, sister and family. May Yhoana RIP and be with angels taking care of her now. 🙏 poor baby. 😢 💔

With all those offences he committed, he should have been locked up for many years, therefore, the murder of this young girl wouldn't have happened.

“That pain in a mother is the same no matter what language you hear it” those words are so true

Rest in peace Yhoana. I'm sorry that you encountered such a malevolent evil which took away your innocence and your life. That pain and grief of her mother is for a lifetime. My condolences 💔🙏🏾

At the very beginning he gave them the exact scenario of what happened. He was speaking hypothetically, but he said if someone was planning to rob the house while no one was home, then Got surprised with her being their, why would they murder her. He said you never know unless you are put in that situation… That spells it. That’s exactly what happened.

it's so tragic that a child had to die before the justice system finally locked this thing up for good. why why do innocent children have to die inorder to put habitual dangerous offenders in prison for good????????

102 times is why our justice system needs to rethink the way they do things.

What a smiley, beautiful young lady- taken so cruelly, by one so selfishly depraved! May this young lady, be in eternal peace- may her family find strength in one another🌈🐝❤️

Rest in Paradise beautiful angel 😇 😭💔💐🕊

As I read the comments, many things come to mind as a Mother. I also had tried to hide emotions. Then one morning my son bounced out from his room, looked at me and asked, are you okay? I realized then how important it was for him for me to not minimize my own discomfort to something. It empowers their own knowledge of encounters with others. As for the video I’m at 7:56 with tears streaming down, the thoughts of encountering other individuals who have left impressions of some behaviors distress me.

I hate where they zoom into the killers eyes like I don't want to keep looking at their evil eyes I turn away each time

👏to the police officers who did there job wonderfully condolences to the family

Thank you for sharing her story. I think about her often ❤️ she seemed like a sweet girl

This whole world is full of, evil cold-hearted people. God bless you sweet girl. 🙏🏿💜

This so heartbreaking!

13 parole violations! how could the parole board let this violent offender out of jail!!! there must be some way to alert the public that a dangerous offender is living in your area. the public has a right to know. you think the parole board is going to let their loved ones live near this thing unknowingly. this is not protecting the public.

Sending Prayers to the family

No words could remove this horrible sadness and the guilt the mother must feel right now. I'm so so sorry, mom. You shouldn't have to bury your child. And I'm sorry little angel. You didn't deserve this. Nobody does. Rest in peace sweetheart. :( 😞

Dayum man I could just see the pain on her mother and it comes thru my screen, this is horrible and I pray for that mother and family to have strength and peace. God Bless them…

This is sooooo sad in so many ways!!! My heart is heavy for this child and her family.

My heart goes out to the family who had to come home and see their 12 year old little girl Murdered in such a brutal way. Something you can't undo in your mind. ❤️🙏❤️ Love out to the family and families.

His defense team know d well that he's guilty also the expression on that SOB's face was priceless after him hearing his faith.

It is never enough to get life in prison you still have your life after you take someone else's and to the people who love them that's a pain that can never go away.....

RIP and my condolences

This guy had 13 violations from probation and was not put back into custody he's a repeat offender and dangerous to the community and let this guy just roam free to be a danger to the comunity

thx for the subtitles

RIP sweet girl! May her family find strength in the Lord!

you can't fix these serial offenders. can you risk this devil let out of prison or risk escaping? courts give him the death penalty

My heart goes out to d mother and family. May God have mercy on this family during this tragic time

My condolences to the family. It’s bad enough to lose a child. It’s an entire next level of devastation when they are horrifically murdered!!!! God please continue to pray for this family!!!
