Gag Order Issued for Bakersfield Teen Murder Case

Gag Order Issued for Bakersfield Teen Murder Case

Not allowed to talk. A gag order has been issued for a high-profile murder case involving a 13-year-old Bakersfield girl. The case centers around Armando Cruz and Patricia Alatorre. They met through social media, and the Inglewood man now stands accused of raping and murdering her, after court documents say he drove from Inglewood to Bakersfield, allegedly to engage in sex acts with the underage teen. After meeting, documents state Cruz strangled Alatorre, then drove back to Southern California with her body, setting the body on fire after he arrived. The documents say he confessed…neither attorneys in the case nor law enforcement will be able to talk to reporters about the proceeding
