Ashley was neighbors with Michael Gargiulo and the two were friends. Gargiulo was able to become close with Ashley by acting as her air-conditioning repairman. Her friends became uncomfortable with Gargiulo and advised Ashley to stop hanging out with him as he seemed to be obsessed with her. He was spotted several times at her house when she wasn’t home and sitting in his car parked outside staring at her residence. Gargiulo is now on trial for her murder.

And it has taken over 10 more years since then for alleged serial killer Gargiulo – dubbed the Hollywood Ripper – to finally go on trial Thursday charged with two murders and one attempted murder after years of legal wrangling.
