California ‘Furry’ Murder Case; Gruesome Murder Scene Details Released

On September 29, three people were murdered in the Orange County “furry” subculture community.

Investigators handling the Southern California murder case described a 911 call from a child who told the operator that their parents were dead. Responding police officers found two girls standing outside their home in Fullerton.

On Tuesday, Orange County Register court documents provided more information about the murder. The case file indicates that the police discovered three bodies – Jennifer Goodwill-Yost, 39, her husband Christopher Yost, 34, their friend Arthur “Billy” Boucher, 28 and a blood stained dog in their home.

Jennifer is an active participant in the community’s “furry” subculture. The furry subculture involves people interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human attributes. These people gathered in conventions wearing “fursuits”.

Police authorities arrested a 21 year old US Army Private, Joshua Acosta and Frank Felix, 25. Just like the victims, both have connections to the furry fandom. The Police charged them with three counts of first degree murder.

The search warrant affidavits were filed on the day of the murder and were published on Tuesday.

According to the police report, officers found two girls, aged six and nine on the front porch. Inside the house, officers found Christopher on the couch with a gunshot wound in the head. Police found Jennifer inside one of the bedrooms, also dead from the shotgun wound.

Authorities found their friend “Billy” just outside a doorway to the backyard with wounds officers mistook as trauma from a blunt object.

Blood splattered pieces of evidence

Forensic scientists gathered multiple pieces of evidence at the scene. It includes clothes, shotgun pellets, an orange backpack and swabs of blood from different areas of the house.

Furthermore, they collected blood samples from a door of a Dodge van parked in the garage and from the dog’s back.

In the in initial report, Jennifer’s 17 year old daughter, Katlynn Goodwill-Yost was missing. The teenagers social media accounts had links to the “furry” fandom as well. Police eventually found Katlynn and had taken into custody.

Police declined any statements if Katlynn had any connection with the crime. The teenager’s being a juvenile prevents the police from releasing any information. Nevertheless, they did not file a case against the teen.
