But from here, the Aurora Police Department alerted the public that murderer Joseph Castorena was on the loose, and they warned that he could be armed and that he was dangerous. Residents were urged to shelter in place. And by now there was a massive manhunt to locate him. Police canine units were called in, drones were used, and eventually several witnesses came forward with some information.

Neighbors in the area stated that they had seen Joseph leaving the area on foot, but other people told investigators to take a closer look at his family. In fact, investigators would later say that Joseph's parents actually came to the crime scene hours later and attempted to interfere with the investigation. Apparently, his father even tried to punch one of the police sergeants.

But as the town of Aurora woke up that morning, everyone learned of the unspeakable tragedy that had taken place. Here is the Aurora police chief, Daniel John Oates, updating the media on the status of the investigation.

And that's what we were wondering as well. Before the massacre, Joseph forced Jessica into his vehicle as she was leaving work. He busted her car window out with a tire iron as she was trying to leave. And then he kept her at his house against her will, holding a gun against her. And Jessica took all the right steps. After that incident, she went to the police and got a protective order.

Now, because Jessica and Joseph's daughters had just been sent to Texas the day prior, investigators feared that Joseph may have gone there. What if he had a plan to get his daughters back? They also had to consider the fact that Texas borders Mexico. And considering he is a fugitive wanted for a quadruple homicide, it wouldn't be far-fetched to assume he would try and flee the country.

According to his family members, he had just visited Mexico only a year prior to attend his grandpa's funeral, so he had family there. But at the end of the day, investigators were still thinking that he was in Colorado. After all, he didn't even have shoes on when he fled the scene. He also didn't have a car. So the only way he could have fled is if he had accomplices.

The next thing investigators did was track down Joseph's cousin, Carlos. And when they did, he admitted that he had picked Joseph up that night. He said that he even attempted to pass him off to other family members in the area, but that no one wanted to help. So instead, Carlos stated that he drove Joseph to a school and he dropped him off with a blanket and some cash.
