When investigators arrived, they surrounded the home the man had fled from and eventually forced their way inside. The commotion caused quite a stir, many neighbors watched as 29 men and one woman were led out from the home by law enforcement. Amongst the neighbors, another person was watching intently, more than most, Andrea Baquedano.

Baquedano was hoping her cousin, Luis, was among the victims taken from the home. She couldn’t tell for sure because crime scene tape strewn through the neighborhood kept her from getting a good view.

**According to Baquedano, her family paid $11,000 to get Luis smuggled into the United States. **
