Conrad Morales
Ricky Morales
Cathy Lynn Sarinana
Summary of Offense:
Raul Ricardo Sarinana and his estranged wife, Cathy Lynn, repeatedly abused and ultimately killed their 11-year-old nephew, Ricky Morales, leaving him to die alone in a closet on Christmas Day 2005. They had been convicted in March 2009 of first-degree murder and torture in Ricky's death, with the two separate juries -- one for each defendant -- hearing evidence also recommending that the pair be executed. Raul Sarinana kicked the child to death after the boy threw up a meal his aunt had made on Christmas Day 2005. Months earlier, Raul Sarinana allegedly killed Ricky's 14-year-old brother, Conrad, in a Randle, Washington mobile home, where the Sarinanas lived with their two small children and nephews prior to relocating to Corona. The Morales brothers went to live with the Raul and Cathy after their mother was briefly jailed in an assault case in Los Angeles County and their father was deported.
Cathy Sarinana was sentenced to death in Riverside County on June 26, 2009.
