The Murder of Adriana Piñon

As a teenager, Adriana Piñon took night classes in addition to her regular high school curriculum so that she could graduate early and focus on her acting and modeling career. At 17 she landed a gig as a recurring extra on "The Young and the Restless," and after her 18th birthday producers informed her they were upgrading her to a speaking role. Adriana was elated, but tragically someone robbed her of that dream before she got to have her moment in the spotlight.   Episode Sources: “Man who murdered actress gets 40 years to life” San Diego Union-Tribune, May 15, 2003 “Death by Fame: The Young and the Jealous” Investigation Discovery, S3, E1, Jan 13, 2025 “Two Held in Killing of Aspiring Actress, 19” LA Times, Mar 31, 2002 “Aspiring Actress Shot to Death in Family Home” LA Times, Feb 02, 2002 “Adriana Piñon Murder: Where are Hugo Ariel Jimenez and Brian Aquino Now?” by Naman Shrestha, The Cinemaholic, Jan 12, 2025   Join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/horrorwoodpodcast   Follow us!
