Gov. Gavin Newsom derailed a previous parole bid for Damien Matthew Guerrero, who was 19 when he and his best friend killed Kelly Bullwinkle in 2003.
A Highland man who has spent 19 years behind bars for the 2003 murder of a Redlands teen that generated national media attention is up for his fourth parole hearing this month.of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Kelly Bullwinkle in a Redlands orange grove in September 2003. His parole hearing is scheduled for Jan. 31.
Kelly’s mother, Diana Bullwinkle, a chief petty officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, formed a search party of her own, including friends and military comrades who fanned out across Redlands, the San Bernardino Valley and the High Desert in search of her daughter, with the help of a Black Hawk helicopter on loan from the Coast Guard.“I truly believe it was from a broken heart,” former San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos said of her death.
Instead of taking his chances at a second trial and a potential lengthier prison sentence if convicted by a jury, Guerrero pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, with an enhancement for using a firearm, and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.Guerrero has been incarcerated at Chuckawalla Valley State Prison in Blythe since September 2008; Noordman has been housed at the California Institution for Women in Chino since May 2005.
In a telephone interview Friday, District Attorney Jason Anderson said he believes the motive for the killing was Noordman’s jealousy of Bullwinkle, who had driven a wedge between Noordman and Guerrero.
