Trial begins Monday for a man accused of breaking into the Newport Beach home of an 81-year-old man and asphyxiating him in his bed.
Estacion had a partner of roughly 25 years who became his wife weeks before his death. The wife, Dortha Lamb, owned property in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, San Clemente and San Bernardino County and had hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank. The daughter who secured the conservatorship had been her mother’s sole heir, but Estacion and his wife amended Lamb’s trust, diminishing the daughter’s inheritance, investigators said. Lamb died in June 2015 at age 94.
An autopsy revealed pinpoints of blood in his eyes and pooling blood and a broken bone in his neck. His nose, lips and left eye were swollen and he had what appeared to be defensive wounds on his arms, according to police.Lamb’s granddaughter had a longtime partner, Garcia. They lived in Garcia’s hometown, Carson City, Nev., near Reno.He has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder.
