Police have interviewed two men who were the last to see a Los Angeles model alive before her body was dumped at a hospital on Saturday – but her husband claims their alleged alibi doesn't add up.
Christy Giles, 24, and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26, went to the West Hollywood home of three strangers after meeting them at a warehouse party in East LA late last Friday night.
The women, their bodies cold, were dumped at two separate hospitals by men in balaclavas driving a car with no plates on Saturday evening. Hilda, a Mexican designer, was revived but is likely brain dead.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com Giles's husband Jan Cilliers, 41, revealed that detectives told him they had interviewed two of the three men with whom Christy spent her final hours.
Christy Giles's last known location was a rented apartment (pictured) near Beverly Hills, where she and friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola went with three men they met at a warehouse party that night
Texts from Christy's phone reviewed by DailyMail.com showed the two women seemed uncomfortable after arriving and called an Uber to take them home but were never picked up

The men, who rent an apartment in West Hollywood that Christy's phone recorded as her last live location, allegedly admitted to cops that they took the girls home from the warehouse party, claimed the women took drugs and overdosed, and that they immediately took them to the ER.
However, texts from Christy's phone reviewed by DailyMail.com cast doubt on the men's alleged account – leading her husband to believe they forcibly drugged both women.
After arriving at their home, an apparently uncomfortable Christy texted Hilda 'let's go' with a wide-eyed emoji at 5:30am on Saturday morning. Hilda replied 'Yes. I'll call an Uber. 10 minutes away.'

At 5:36am a friend called Eddie who was at the official afterparty the girls had planned to go to texted Christy: 'Where you at?'
Read receipts show Christy never read the text, nor any others after that, and Uber records show the women never got in their cab.
Cilliers believes that in those six minutes, something happened to his wife and her friend that left them incapacitated.
But it wasn't until 12 hours later, at 5pm on Saturday, that CCTV at Southern California Hospital in Culver City showed men in masks and hats pulling up in a black Toyota Prius with no license plate and dumping Christy's body – and another two hours before Hilda was left at nearby Kaiser Permanente hospital in West LA.
Cilliers said hospital staff told him both women's bodies were cold when they were admitted, which could mean that whatever killed his wife had happened several hours earlier.
'She didn't deserve any of this. She was such a bright light, a beautiful, joyous soul. The fact that somebody took that light and snuffed it out is just so, so wrong,' he told DailyMail.com.
Texts between the two women showed Christy had sent a message to Hilda at 5:30am reading: 'let's go', to which Hilda replied: 'Yes. I'll call an Uber' - however the two were never picked up
Giles and Cabrales-Arzola were at SoHo on Friday, November 12, when they left for a warehouse party. Giles husband said he traced her phone to an apartment complex before the women were dropped off at their respective hospitals
Hilda (pictured with Christy Friday night) was found with heroin in her system, however Cilliers said neither woman would have taken those drugs voluntarily and he suspects foul play

'Inside that six minute gap, they became incapacitated. That Uber never got picked up.
'It's clear the girls tried to leave, so there's definitely some foul play involved here.
'These girls were obviously deceased for a long time before they got taken to the emergency rooms. My wife got taken to the emergency room at 5pm on Saturday, which is 12 hours after her last text message.
'Hilda got taken to a completely different emergency room two hours after Christy, at 7pm.'
Cilliers said police were only able to link the two women's cases because Hilda shared her location with a third friend.
The widower said that data showed her traveling to the West Hollywood house with Christy, then being taken to Kaiser Permanente two hours after Christy was dumped at Southern California Hospital.
Cilliers said the timings make the men's alleged alibi implausible.
'Their story to the police is that they were doing drugs with the girls, and then they said to the police that as soon as the girls overdosed that they took them immediately to the ER,' he said.
Cilliers, who was in San Francisco at the time, says he awoke the next morning to check his wife's location on his phone and saw she was somewhere he didn't recognize
