One of the last people to see Los Angeles model Christy Giles and her Mexican designer friend alive described a group of four men and a woman who snuck into a club VIP area, ‘targeted’ the women and seemed ‘crazed’.
The 24-year-old model and 26-year-old interior designer Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola went to a warehouse party in East LA in the early hours of Saturday November 13 and left with a group of men.
Around 12 hours later the girls’ cold bodies were dumped at two hospitals.
A third woman who went with them to the party spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com, revealing the moment their night took a turn from carefree to filled with danger.

The friend, who asked not to be named, saw four men in their 40s and a woman arrive, talk their way into a VIP area at the event and begin hugging strangers as if they knew them.
She said two of the men acted ‘obnoxiously’, one taking off his shirt and flailing around.
Another seemed ‘completely sober’, had a professional camera and took a particular interest in Hilda, the friend said.
The men managed to insinuate themselves in conversation with her and one even put a jacket on the interior designer.
Giles and Cabrales were a Soho House LA 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

The friend, who remained sober that night, left with her cousin about an hour after the men arrived. She would never speak to her two friends again.
‘They went from Soho House to the event and I met up with them. We entered the event as a group around 1am,’ she said.
‘I was hoping it was going to be a group of friends who enjoy the same kind of music, going out to an event put on by great DJs, to dance to great music, and perhaps end up at one of our places later.
‘Then they appeared.’
The friend said she noticed four men and one woman who entered the party and ‘didn't seem to belong’.
‘One man and the woman seemed to be a couple – they were kissing. They were all older, in their 40s. It was just this feeling, they just weren't cool. Two of them seemed overly obnoxious and the rest of them seemed kind of shy.
‘They actually were able to make it to the restricted staff area where we were without proper bracelets. And later we found out that they'd told multiple people at the event that they work for another artist who had a big concert earlier that night. But that's a lie.
Photographs and videos taken late the night before the women were left at the hospitals show Giles and Cabrales dancing and laughing at a warehouse party. Their friend told DailyMail.com that four 'crazed' men and one woman 'targeted' the young women

Giles husband Jan Cilliers, who was in San Francisco at the time, says he awoke in the morning to check his wife's location on his phone and saw she was somewhere he didn't recognize
‘I was trying to talk to everybody at the event, like who knew these guys? But that was a dead end because they didn't know anybody.
‘They walked in acting very confident, and people are very easily fooled by confidence.
‘They were able to weasel themselves into that area, they must have been there for maybe about 30 minutes or so until somebody noticed they didn't have the right wrist bands and kicked them out. But I had already left by that point.
‘If they were just in the
