On September 14, 1993, the Luna family of Maryvale, Arizona—18-year-old Rochelle Lynn Luna, her parents Albert B. Luna Sr., 46, Patricia Valdez Luna, 42, and Rochelle’s 5-year-old brother Damien—were murdered in their home. Rochelle was a Trevor Browne High School student, a member of the track team, and worked at a local grocery store.

Investigators say the attacker was Richard Kenneth Djerf, a former friend of Rochelle’s older brother, Albert Luna Jr. Djerf allegedly arrived at the house posing as a flower delivery, took Patricia and Damien hostage, and bound and gagged them. Rochelle was ambushed when she returned from school, taken to her bedroom, assaulted, and killed. Albert Sr. was attacked and killed after arriving home. The house was set alight but the fire did not fully ignite. The bodies were found that evening when Albert Luna Jr. returned home.

Djerf was arrested on September 18, 1993, after friends reported his confession and police recovered Luna family property in his possession. He later pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and received a death sentence. Did anyone who knew the Luna family or their neighborhood notice anything unusual in September 1993?
