Ferrier

On her way home from from Santa Clara University to be with her parents and siblings, Charlotte Ferrier stopped to see her second family.

Ferrier recounted how she would come over to the South L.A. house for parties and go with the family on trips to Tahoe and Las Vegas.

Ferrier was more scared of Mayorga and Salazar than she was of her own parents, Yoselin Salazar said.

A Himalayan cat, Princess, a gift from Ferrier’s mom for Yoselin’s 15th birthday, wandered around the house in search of attention.

Eight chickens Ferrier’s mother gave the family years earlier rested in the coop Salazar had built for them.
