Orrin and Orson West had a sad start to life. They were removed from their care of their biological mother when they were tiny and were placed in the care of their adoptive parents, Trezell and Jacqueline West.
The boys lived with four other siblings in California. In December 2020, their ‘father’ Trezell claims they went outside to play and were never seen again.
The local community in California searched alongside the police for months and months. Jacqueline and Trezell had their other children placed into care, allegedly because of ‘threats’ made by the public.
Police interviewed neighbors who said they had never actually seen Orrin and Orson in the area.
How could two little boys vanish, possibly months before they were reported missing?
This case seemed like it may be turning cold. Until March 2022, when Trezell and Jacqueline were each arrested on counts of second-degree murder, willful cruelty to a child and false reporting of an emergency. Police have now said that Orrin and Orson were murdered by the people who were meant to care for them most, months before the search for them began. The boys still remain missing.
