I can’t believe after so much time, justice is being served. The West trial is underway. The adoptive parents of Orrin and Orson West are accused of murdering the two boys. They went missing in California City three years ago.. I covered the case extensively at the time.
In the video, police follow the Wests inside their home. The Wests are looking for some papers to give the officers.
