A jealous lover has been jailed for life after a fire he lit to cover up a woman's murder grew to a massive wildfire that killed two more people.
Victor Serriteno, 33, pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and arson charges and must stay behind bars at least 73 years.
He met Priscilla Castro, 22, online and she came to visit him in Vacaville, California, on August 16, 2020, and was last seen at 5.49pm in her car.
The next time anyone saw her was on September 2 in Putah Creek Wildlife Area, ground zero for one of the worst wildfires in the region's history.
Castro's body was burned beyond recognition, but her angel pendant survived and led to her body being identified and Serriteno arrested.
