You can still feel the murder in the house. We had a 74-year-old woman killed, a 35-year-old woman killed. Somebody needed to tell their story. The blood, a lot of blood all over the mother and the daughter. Angel and mom were definitely a package deal. Why would you murder two innocent people, two innocent women?
We have an extremely psychotic, taunting killer who is taking pleasure in the homicide, who is taunting the police and writing this letter. About 12.30 or so, I got my knife and did the dirty deed. What a rush. Don't bother checking for prints or DNA. I'm wearing a body suit and gloves. And then a second letter came in. I write to you again. I must confess, I have done it for a second time.
And we had a killer, apparently, who was traveling the country. The two letters sent by the killer made it pretty clear he's not only one step ahead of the cops, but the murder spree isn't over. It starts on Friday night, the 4th of July weekend in Norfolk, Virginia. John Schraft is a rookie officer working a weekend shift. It's about 1.30 in the morning.
I'm patrolling the East Ocean View area, driving around. I was by myself doing normal routine patrols in that area. when I got the call from dispatch to respond to Fryden Street. Okay, is there any serious bleeding? Please help me. Okay, I need you to answer my questions. Is there any serious bleeding? The victim keeps hanging up. The 911 operator keeps calling her back. This could be anything.
An accident, burglary. It is much worse. As I'm approaching the steps, I can see that the interior front door is open and the screen door is shut. And I can also see that there's a light on inside the residence. In front of him, there is a faded sort of beige oriental rug on the floor. And there is a lot of red, what he takes to be blood.

Chapter 2: What happened to the mother and daughter in this true crime case?
and he sees an older woman on the floor, on the rug, next to a phone that appears to have blood on it. I immediately drew my weapon, opened up the front door, walked in. Asked the elderly female, is there anybody else in the residence? She said, my daughter is in the bedroom. I looked around. My main concern was, is there the person that did this, is that person still in the residence?
Definitely nervous, but your adrenaline takes over for the situation at hand. The lady that was apparently called 911, her name was later determined to be Vonda Goyena. And she actually was 74 years of age. This woman has been stabbed multiple times, and her throat has been slit.
So when the elderly female said, my daughter is in the bedroom, and I took a couple of steps towards the bedroom, walking down the hall. He knew what he was going to find, a second victim. I could see that she was clearly deceased, covered in blood, laying naked, face down on the floor. She was later identified to be Angelique Guayena. She was 35 years old.
Within the blood-soaked bed, you have this heartbreaking image of her childhood teddy bear, also soaked in blood. It is an image that is hard to forget. They've already checked Angel's room. Now they have to go through every other room in the house, the closets, the kitchen, to make sure that the killer is not still inside. Detective Walter Whiteside arrives just minutes later.
Unfortunately, I've been to a lot of homicide scenes. It was probably one of the worst. That room literally just looked like something out of the movies. It didn't even look real. Very rarely do you see a scene that gruesome. It was very clear that she had more stab wounds than what you could possibly count. I think it ended up being over 37, 38 stab wounds.
There was just no rhyme or reason to why the amount of injuries were inflicted on the victims. He can still hear Vonda calling out for Angel. She kept asking me how Angel was doing, you know, if she was dead, if she was okay. It hits home, it does. You try to separate yourself from that, but I've got three children, so, you know, you do... kind of empathize. You have to as a human.
It's horrific. And he's starting to realize how many times that she's been stabbed. He knows at this point he doesn't have a lot of time. As EMTs work, Whiteside steps out to call a homicide detective who tells him what has to happen next. He asked me at that time to to do a dying declaration. So a dying declaration is a legal term.
Now, normally somebody has the right to confront their accuser in court. This is the exception to that. The accuser is actually dead. So with their last breath, it's presumed to be the truth. A dying declaration can be used in court, but there is one rule. The person has to believe that they're going to die when they give you the statement, and then ultimately they have to die.
normal human compassion is to just tell everybody oh you're going to be okay keep fighting we're we're helping you it's completely counterintuitive to look at someone and tell them you're going to die basically there's no hope you're not going to survive this for them to tell you their their last thoughts is this is who did it to me that's very powerful walter lucas she says Walter Lucas.

Chapter 3: Who is the self-proclaimed vampire involved in the investigation?
They love the Wicca store, both of them. Wicca's a pagan spiritual practice. Some Wiccans even call themselves witches. They see all of the earth and sky and moon, all of nature as a mother goddess.
Angelique's always been fascinated with the stars. It kind of opened her eyes to nature, sunsets, leaves. There's definitely energy to things. It's kind of like the force, be with you kind of thing.
Beyond that, they also loved tarot cards, reading each other's future and fortunes.
The tarot cards were, I remember them having tarot cards, both of them. Tarot cards, palm reading, that kind of stuff.
They had a love of reading. They had a love of tarot cards, nature, walks in the park. They were really in tune with one another, more so as friends, beyond that mother and daughter special bond. They did everything together. They went everywhere together. Except for, you know, of course, when Angelique would go out on a date.
Mom couldn't go then. Actually met most of the guys she dated online.
She wanted to be married and she wanted a family. Yes, she did. She talked about it. I know that's something she definitely wanted and she was hopeful.
She did tell me she really wanted to have a child and she was concerned that she was too old. She was 35. She was on all over the page with dating. One guy, he was really into motorcycles, and so she'd be the passenger. And this one fella she dated was a pilot, small cop planes, and he let her fly. And it seemed to be exciting people that she would date.
In 2006, Angel decides to put herself out there, so she signs up to a dating app, and then days after, she meets a man who's a father of two. What you can't live without? My dreams of finding happiness and love. My true love is out there still to be found.

Chapter 4: What were the details of the 911 call made during the murder?
Book you read. Stories with werewolves, vampires, and other magical creatures. My sons are both in scouting, so we like to go camping and things like that. I'm good at dream interpretation. I live with and take care of my mom. You place a strong emphasis on family as well. I would love one day to get my poetry published. I've dreamed of a knight in shining armor.
Don't laugh, but I've kept a medallion of gold and silver of a knight upon a steed for the day I meet him. Angel's discovering so much more about David Hoshaw. He is an electrical designer. He's a scoutmaster. He's seeming more and more to her like he could be the one. I remember Angel telling me he seemed sweet. She told me he had two boys and they were a big part of his life.
I think Angel wanted from David just to kind of be that Prince Charming, that knight in shining armor. Angel meets the sons, all great, and even meets David's ex-wife, Naomi. David was an Eagle Scout, so of course he got the boys into scouting. They went camping with the scouts and they really enjoyed it. He was an adoring father. When I first met David, my initial thought was, he looks cuddly.
They look cuddly to me. Within a matter of months, they fall in love. David proposes, and now he's moved in with her and Vonda. And Angel is just off and running, planning a wedding. December 18, 2006. David Wayne Hosha Jr. David is my fiance, and this will be the first of many Christmas memories that we will treasure. We are planning on being married September 15, 2007.
Angel was into the Renaissance and she was having a special dress made. It was very much Angel. It was red trim, you know, just kind of fairytale.
And her shoes she actually bought from a store and decorated them the way she wanted them, you know, artists and all.
I think my married name will be pretty. Angelique Elaine Hoshaw. I wonder if our children will have dark hair like me and blue eyes like David. I still have the dress that I purchased to wear as maid of honor. Of course, neither of those dresses are ever worn. Two months before her wedding, Angel is killed. Police don't have much to work with at this point.
Just a dying declaration with the name Walter Lucas. Who is this guy? Police need to track him down. Turns out Walter isn't hard to find. Walter is my ex-husband.
We were married in our 20s. And then, you know, we got divorced. But he stayed in touch with the family. Everybody loved him.

Chapter 5: How did the police begin their investigation into the murders?
This is a dead end for them. And at this point, the rest of the family and the friends have been ruled out. Prosecutor Phil Evans needs a confidant, someone that he knows will get the job done. So he turns to a man that he's worked with many times in the past. Let's get Rick Maulman on this case. We'll work it together. Phil and I have worked a lot of cases together.
I won't say it's like brothers, but it's pretty close. Rick was the best of the best. He was someone who could translate the crime scene, but he also understood what it really means to develop evidence for the courtroom. I went to the house with Detective Maulman. We walked through it. You could still feel the murder in the house. I knew that this case was going to be difficult.
But deep down, I felt that this was a solvable case. It may have taken time, but it was going to be a solvable case. They approached this from the standpoint of, we're going to start at ground zero. We weren't at the crime scene. We're going to go back and go through everything so that we are comfortable nothing was missed. Nobody is perfect when they commit a murder.
I may overlook something, but there is no such thing as the perfect murder.
At this point, Evans and Malbin are worried about something else. The killer made it pretty clear he's not only one step ahead of the cops, but the murder spree isn't over. Anyone working that case should have taken that letter personally. And I did. And then a second letter came in, taunting. I must confess, I have done it a second time.
I was going to do everything I possibly could to find that person.
The cops up here are a lot smarter than yous. It really puts an increased energy on Detective Malvin, and certainly I felt it. We had a victim's family here who was just gutted. They lost their mother and sister. And we had a killer, apparently, who was traveling the country. At the very least, if he wasn't killing other people, he was perversely enjoying having killed the Goyinas.
You don't just look at suspects in a murder case. You also look at the victims. By 2008, Detective Malabon and his partner are digging deeper into Angel's past, and they find the ties to Wicca. Remember, Angel and her mom were interested and hung out at this Wiccan bookstore.
Angelique's relationship with Wicca was more interest. I think that kind of trickled down to mom as well, because mom got interested in that.

Chapter 6: What evidence did the detectives find in the Goyena case?
Could the murder somehow be tied to Angel's interest in the occult? Remember, Angel and her mom were interested.
Whoever did this must be some kind of monster.
Extremely psychotic, taunting killer. We got two letters that we have a killer taking credit for the double homicide. I skip town pretty quick. I move around a lot, so good luck catching me.
But if you ever confronted him about anything, the switch would just flip in his brain. I just felt something just smack across the back of my head, and I just blacked out.
It was just like I was thrown in an alligator pit, and I needed to fight my way out of it.
I think, truly, there was something more sinister going on.
We've had several homicides in the city of Norfolk with multiple deaths. This case was unusual in the sense that it was a mother and daughter. Angel and Vonda Goyeno were killed so brutally right in their home. How could there be no evidence to go on? There was no signs of forced entry. There was no DNA or fingerprints.
The police investigation of everyone Angel knew, including people from the Wicca bookstore, has led nowhere. And the self-proclaimed vampire who went to the police? It was a false lead. Angel was humble. She was kind. She was writing how excited she was to get married. I was trying to catch a killer. I was going to do everything I possibly could to find that person. Where do they go from here?
Angel's best friend thinks she knows. It was David. I just had a feeling. Remember, early in their investigation, police reached out to Angel's fiance, David Hoshaw. At the time, he seemed to have a credible alibi. David talks to police and tells them he was about 80 miles away on a Boy Scout trip. But it was some of what David said during this interview that piqued their interest.

Chapter 7: What led to the suspicion of David Hoshaw as a suspect?
Angelique was a gift to our family.
What are you left with when someone dies? Photographs, memories? For the Goyenas, Angel's poems.
The night with its endless realm of possibilities. What could last forever? Stars, scattered diamonds of the night. The stars watch and somewhat guide choices and outcomes. But in the end, the stars watch us. That's my girl.
That's my girl.
