   Kidnapping Witnessed on Zoom Leads to Di

   A kidnapping witnessed on a Zoom call is how investigators   
   learned about a crime spree in Altadena, and it ended with the   
   discovery of two homicide victims, along with a man detained by   
   Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.   
      
   The crime scene in the 3100 block of North Marengo Avenue is   
   obscured by trees that hide a home where two slain victims were   
   discovered after someone on a video call with a resident   
   reported seeing violence in the background.   
      
   “The person on the Zoom call is the one that called 911...   
   stating they saw what they believed was a kidnapping,” Lt. Barry   
   Hall of the sheriffs Homicide Division says.   
      
   Hall says the victims were apparently stabbed to death: a man in   
   the driveway and a woman in the house. Both of the victims were   
   their 60s, authorities said.   
      
   Even people who did not know the couple are distraught about   
   their killings.   
      
   Darlene Thomas, a neighbor says, “To find out, double murder?   
   Someone laying out in their yard? Horrific.”   
      
   Another neighbor, Ailyne Charles, says, “It just shows how quick   
   your reality can change in a snap, you know? I’m at tennis   
   having fun. Come home, this is happening.”   
      
   The LA Sheriff's Office says investigators discovered a car was   
   missing from the residence and, during the investigation, a man   
   drove up in the victim’s car and walked to the edge of the crime   
   scene. He identified himself as a resident of the home,   
   authorities said.   
      
   Authorities ordered the man, later identified as 32-year-old   
   Robert Cotton, to his knees, put him in handcuffs, and took him   
   away, according to Hall.   
      
   “You could see the deputies running up the hill," said Thomas.   
   "He just held his hands up and got on the ground.”   
      
   Cotton's relationship to the victims was not immediately known,   
   but authorities say he has been booked for two counts of murder.   
      
   The lead detective describes an investigation in its early   
   stages after a fast moving crime spree.   
      
   “The male was inside the house," Hall said. "The lady was still   
   talking on the Zoom when the male was dragged out of the house.   
   That alerted her. Then, the suspect went inside and attacked   
   her."   
      
   Hall says investigators are “probably” not searching for anyone   
   else, but it's still early in the investigation.
