Winona Avenue, Idlewood

Winona Avenue is a south-east street in Idlewood, South Central Los Santos and is most infamous for housing the 24 Hour Motel, a motel which is lived in by the impoverished locals and transient motorists. Winona Avenue also houses the Crystal Gardens Housing Projects, which functions as housing for the Latino American and African American populace who live on state welfare.

The 24 Hour Motel was erected on Winona Avenue in 1966 in order to service the local population as well as those temporarily staying in South Central for local business purposes. Initially, the 24 Hour Motel was objectively good for the locals because it provided employment for those unemployed, as well as those trying hard to avoid falling into the cycle of crime. However, within a period of fourteen years, the 24 Hour Motel on Winona Avenue had became a haunt for the local homeless population, drug dealers, street gang members, pimps and prostitutes. It has remained in this condition ever since 1980 and continues getting worse, year by year. Nowadays, due to the state of the motel, the majority of the rooms are either left vacant or are inexpensively rented out due to their deplorable quality. Issues with electricity, plumbing, air conditioning, wireless Internet access as well as infestations of mold, insects and rodents continue to remain the primary complaints of people residing in the motel and those temporarily staying there. The motel's management does little to nothing to rectify these pressing issues, and does absolutely nothing to curtail the high rates of drug crime and sex work such as pimping, prostitution and escort services present on an everyday basis.

The Crystal Gardens Housing Projects were erected in 1946 by the Los Santos Housing Authority in order to house returning veterans of the Second World War. By 1951, most of these returning veterans had moved out to other, more better off areas of Los Santos such as the suburbs of the west side of the city. In order to fill up the vacant homes, the Los Santos Housing Authority allocated Crystal Gardens housing units to lower income and working class Mexican Americans and African Americans who arrived there from Eastside Los Santos during the demographic shifts and white flight of the 1940s and 1950s. By 1957, almost all residents of Crystal Gardens were either Mexican American or African American, and only a very small minority of Caucasian Americans were present. By 1961, non-violent and violent crime crime was already a very grave problem and street gangs with origins in multiple regions of Eastside Los Santos had firmly rooted themselves in Crystal Gardens. The heroin trade throughout the 1960s, which was spearheaded by Mexican American and African American street gangs, completed the beginning of the poverty cycle in the housing projects. In the 1970s through to the 2010s, local street gangs joined forces with African American drug trafficking organizations in order to rule the drug trade in the housing projects. These street gangs and African American drug trafficking organizations continue to rule the dilapidated housing projects with an iron fist as of 2017.

The American crack epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s, and the prior heroin epidemics of the 1960s and 1970s, have both had great social influences on the motel and the nearby housing projects. Because of this, it has remained informally governed by drug-dealing crews and street gangs ever since. Drug dealing crews and street gangs, despite the existence of a formally organized community council, remain the de facto law of the locale.

The area's drug trade began in the 1960s. This was before, during and after the earliest Blood and Crip sets formed in Idlewood and Ganton before spreading elsewhere in South Central. Originally, soft drugs like marijuana and psychedelic drugs such as LSD and PCP were sold all along Winona Avenue by the area's Mexican American and African American youths. Eventually, heroin was introduced into the local drug trade by the mid to late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, Blood and Crip sets in the locality began a monopoly on the heroin trade.

The first Crip set on Winona Avenue, known as the Crystal Town Crips, were formed in Crystal Gardens in 1976 and monetarily flourished after it established an iron grip on the locality's heroin trade. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, it expanded its financial and logistical resources through producing and selling crack cocaine. In the early 1990s, however, a series of law enforcement injunctions as well as the conclusions of criminal investigations brought the end to the Crystal Town Crips. Almost all members comprising the upper and middle rungs of the Crip set were incarcerated in both state and federal prisons for very long periods of time. The remaining members, who were mostly lower ranking, either went into hiding or were absorbed into other Crip sets in the area.

Ever since the late 1990s and early 2000s, the 24 Hour Motel and Crystal Gardens Housing Projects have been home to numerous Blood sets as well as Sureño sets. Local youths are not afforded plentiful opportunities as a result of living in poverty, so they typically turn to criminal activity and membership in local street gangs in order to find direction in life, to provide for their families and to make a living for themselves as individuals. These local youths, who are routinely coerced, intimidated and manipulated by older drug dealers and street gang members into committing crime, continue to perpetuate the cycle of non-violent drug crime and violent crime in the locale.

The most common type of criminal activities in the area include the sale of illicit narcotics and the sale of stolen/illegally modified firearms. Other crime includes pimping, prostitution, robbery, armed robbery, burglary, attempted murder, murder and drive-by shootings of pedestrians and properties such as motel rooms and housing project units.

LOS SANTOS TIMES. APRIL 19, 2017.

The Los Santos Police Department's Gang and Narcotics Division have made four arrests as well as laid state felony charges against three men and one woman who allegedly ran an underground prostitution ring from the Twenty Four Hour Motel along Winona Avenue in Idlewood. This aforementioned prostitution ring is said to have been operating from 2013 until 2017 and employed twelve prostitutes, all of whom were working against their will.

According to Los Santos Police Department Gang and Narcotics Division spokeswoman, Lt. Nancy Guajardo, the three men and one woman were involved with the abduction, drugging and alleged raping of the twelve prostitutes. “These four individuals are all well known to police for their involvement in pimping, prostitution and drugs in the past”, stated Lt. Guajardo at a public press release in Idlewood, “and we have strong reason to believe, based on both witness and victim testimony, along with compelling physical evidence, that these four individuals abducted, drugged and potentially sexually abused twelve young women as a part of a prostitution ring. They targeted young women who were poor and homeless in the streets of Idlewood, and to make matters worse, were all illegal immigrants from Mexico, Central America and the Carribbean islands.”

Police allege that Davon Snyder, 36, of Idlewood, Wesley Gibbs, 28, of Idlewood, Ayesha Wilkins, 32, of Idlewood and Matthew Hammarstrom, 47, of Idlewood, joined forces along Winona Avenue in Idlewood throughout the summer of 2013 in order to create a prostitution ring which would forcibly employ poor and homeless women from the neighborhood. These women were then drugged with hard drugs such as methamphetamine, crystal methamphetamine and heroin in order to keep them addicted and dependent on the quartet for their addictions. When the women inevitably came back to help feed their addictions, they were abducted, allegedly raped and eventually forced to prostitute themselves in the street for meager amounts of money. The quartet took 90% of each prostitute's earnings, leaving the individual prostitutes with just enough money to purchase more drugs as well as the basic necessities of life such as water bottles and snacks from local convenience stores, and unhealthy food from local fast food restaurants.

Of the 12 prostitutes rescued by the Los Santos Police Department's Gang and Narcotics Division: 3 were from Mexico, 2 were from El Salvador, 3 were from Honduras, 2 were from Nicaragua, 1 was from Haiti and 1 was from Jamaica. All of the prostitutes were women ranging from the ages of 19 - 27 and were illegally in the country. Their genuine personal identification documents were confiscated by the quartet in question and replaced with false personal identification documents which were generated through image editing and document forging software on computers. This was done to prevent them from being discovered as illegal immigrants in the event that any one of them were to be arrested by the police for whatever reason. Police investigators were able to retrieve all of the confiscated personal identification documents from numerous housing units within Crystal Gardens, which proved that they were illegally residing in the country.

These twelve women were abducted, drugged and allegedly raped over a four year period. Initially, there were seven women involved with the prostitution ring in the autumn of 2013, but one of the women disappeared and has never been heard or seen from since; police are pleading with the general public for any information pertaining to that woman. Over the years, an additional six women were picked off of the street and forced to sell themselves for sex up and down Winona Avenue while they all lived in a single motel room in the basement of the Twenty Four Hour Motel. The single motel room in question had no lighting, backed up plumbing, no media entertainment and was heavily infested by black mold, insects and rodents. There were only two beds for all the twelve women to share at once, and because the bed was not big enough, the women alternated between sleeping on the bedbug infested beds and on the carpeted and linoleum floors.

At the time of their rescuing, all of the women were starved, beaten and emaciated. One of the women hadn't ate in five days and was hospitalized due to extreme dehydration.

The Los Santos Police Department's Gang and Narcotics Division have stated in a public press release that this is one of the worst human trafficking crimes ever seen in Idlewood within this decade. A police Sgt assigned to the investigative team who helped to orchestrate the rescue of the twelve women commented on the ordeal, saying that it was “horrifically sickening”. One of the LSPD METRO team operatives who participated in the five hour long raid of the Twenty Four Hour Motel on March 7, 2016 has allegedly been diagnosed with PTSD due to what he experienced and witnessed first hand; he later described it as “something diabolical, as if it came from the Devil himself”.

The management of the Twenty Four Hour Motel on Winona Avenue are currently being investigated by the Los Santos Police Department's Gang and Narcotics Division for their alleged enabling and compliance with this prostitution ring, along with other unrelated drug crime in the area.

Davon Snyder and Ayesha Wilkins are known to police for their membership to the Money Made Mafia set of the Bloods located in Crystal Gardens, a now defunct street gang which operated there over the course of the early 2000s to the mid 2010s. The two have state criminal records and are ex convicted felons who have previously served time for drug and prostitution-related felonies. Wesley Gibbs is an ex convicted state felon in New Mexico who served two and a half years in the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility from 2008 - 2011 for drug possession and conspiring to pimp his ex girlfriend to two of his criminal associates. Matthew Hammarstrom, originally from Pennsylvania, is a former United States Marine who served in Kuwait and Iraq during the Gulf War in 1990 - 1991; he was later granted a dishonorable discharge in 1992 at the rank of Corporal for abusing prescription medication while on base in Camp Lejeune located in Jacksonville, South Carolina.

Davon Synder, Wesley Gibbs and Ayesha Wilkins have state criminal records in San Andreas which date as far back as 2003. Matthew Hammarstrom has state criminal records in Pennsylvania, New York, Utah and San Andreas in which he served anywhere between 1 to 4 years in the prison systems of the four states beginning with a 2 year stint in Pennsylvania circa 1994; he is confirmed by law enforcement in Los Santos to be a transient criminal with a lengthy history of drug and prostitution related crime.

The quartet are currently undergoing psychiatric testing to determine whether they meet the diagnostic critera for Antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy) and Narcissistic personality disorder.

Davon Snyder, Wesley Gibbs and Matthew Hammarstrom are currently being held without the possibility of bail in the maximum security and solitary confinement annexes of the Men's Central Jail in Commerce, LS. Ayesha Wilkins is currently being held without the possibility of bail in the solitary confinement annex of the Women's Central Jail in Market, LS. The quartet are currently facing criminal prosecution for a slew of state abduction, drug and prostitution-related felony charges. Ayesha Wilkins and Matthew Hammarstrom currently have two and seven state felony charges for rape pending against them, respectively, for their alleged sexual abuse of the prostitutes over a four year long period. If convicted, the three men may face up to life in prison without the possibility of parole for their involvement in the prostitutution ring. Ayesha Wilkins, if convicted, may face up to life in prison without the possibility of parole for twenty years for her involvement in the prostitution ring. The quartet's trial dates have not been formally set yet, but are projected for late 2018.

LOS SANTOS TIMES. JUNE 4, 2017.

The Los Santos Police Department's Cold Case Division are once again renewing awarness of a series of unsolved rapes and murders which took place in East Idlewood throughout the 1980s. The unsolved rapes and murders are believed to be the work of a single serial killer who is believed to have ceased operation sometime in the early 1990s.

The Los Santos Police Department's Cold Case Division have stated that these rapes and murders primarily took place in the Winona Avenue and Harlow Street areas of East Idlewood. The serial killer was likely involved with the narcotic and prostitution trade in the area beginning in 1982, where he exploited the local prostitution services to rape and sometimes later murder the prostitutes. His modus operandi involved forced sexual intercourse followed by using knives to slash the wrists and throats of his victims while they were being violently raped, which killed them during the vicious act.

Among the women believed to be the murder victims of this particular serial killer include:
Juliet Williamson, 27, of Ganton: raped and murdered through stabbing on October 13, 1982.
Patricia McGuinness, 26, of Idlewood: raped and murdered through having her throat slit on December 16, 1984.
Louise Marsden, 29, of Idlewood: raped and murdered through having her wrists and throat slit on March 2, 1985.
Victoria Armone, 25, of Idlewood: raped and murdered through having her wrists and throat slit on August 9, 1986.
Madeline Ciechanowska, 25, of Idlewood: raped and murdered through being stabbed in the throat and having her wrists slit on June 27, 1988.

All of the listed above women's bodies were found in multiple locations in the East Idlewood area. Juliet, Madeline and Louise's bodies were found submerged under water in bathtubs of three different Twenty Four Hour Motel rooms which were being rented out under falsified names. Victoria's battered, bruised and cut up dead body was found in shallow water in the Los Santos Storm Drain directly behind the Twenty Four Hour Motel. Patricia's dead body was discovered hidden under a tarp in an alleyway off of Harlow Street in Idlewood.

Two women survived being raped by the serial killer. They then went to the police after they survived a botched murder attempt in which their throats were cut with a switchblade and a military combat knife. One of these women suffered extreme psychological trauma from the incident and committed suicide by overdosing on prescription medication in a psychiatric institution in 1994; the other woman died from natural causes in 2002.

The serial killer is believed to be of Latino American descent and was likely in his late teens or early twenties when he began raping and killing these women. He is said to have targeted Caucasian American prostitutes in their late twenties. The two women who survived their harrowing ordeal with him said that they were blindfolded while being raped and subsequently having their throats slit, and were thus unable to physically identify him to police. The serial killer is also believed to have been a local of East Idlewood at the time, and was regularly frequenting prostitutes and purchasing illicit narcotics up and down Winona Avenue throughout the duration of the 1980s. The two women who were raped by the serial killer, in 1990 and 1992 respectively, had the serial killer's DNA tested and it matched the DNA found on and inside the bodies of the murdered women.

In 1996, the Los Santos Police Department made an arrest of a reformed career criminal, two time ex convicted felon and automotive mechanic in connection with these rapes and murders. Anthony Madero, who was 33 at the time of the arrest, was formally charged with the rapes and murders of Juliet Williamson and Madeline Ciechanowska. In 1998, Anthony Madero was tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the rapes and murders of Juliet Williamson and Madeline Ciechanowska, based on questionable DNA evidence and faulty witness testimony. In 2005, after serving seven years in the maximum security annex of the Mule Creek State Prison, new DNA evidence which surfaced from the rapes and murders was examined by the San Andreas Innocence Project, and members of the organization revisited the witnesses who testified at his state criminal trial in 1998. This re-examination eventually led to his exoneration and release from state prison in 2007 after serving at total of nine years behind bars for crimes which he didn't actually commit. He was, however, not removed from the state sex offender registry due to undisclosed administration issues with the state sex offender registry until 2010. He was awarded $1 million USD in compensation by the San Andreas state government for the wrongful conviction and irreversable damage to his personal life and reputation in 2015.

The serial killer responsible for these horrific crimes remains at large, and his DNA nor fingerprints have surfaced in state and federal criminal databases. This has led criminal investigators from the Los Santos Police Department's Sex Crimes and Cold Case Divisions to believe that he has likely ceased his activities, but it is unknown as to where he currently resides, or if he's even still alive. The Los Santos Police Department's Cold Case Division are currently pleading with members of the general public who lived in the East Idlewood area throughout the 1980s to come forward with any and all information that they may have about these rapes and murders. If a member of the general public has any potentially meaningful leads which will help solve these decade old crimes, they may anonymously forward them by phoning the Los Santos Police Department's Cold Case Division at 516-783-5973.
