Angelina Garcia Biography & Facts

The murder of Cynthia Yvonne Garcia by the Hells Angels took place on October 25, 2001, in Mesa, Arizona and is a well known criminal case in Arizona. The victim Cynthia Garcia was a 44-year old impoverished woman who had been married as a teenager and was divorced in her 20s. She had six children by various men ranging in age from 26 for her oldest child, Bianca, to 11 for her youngest child, Angelina. Angelina Garcia told the Canadian journalists Julian Sher and William Marsden that her mother was "Funny. She was really loveable." Oliva Garcia told Sher and Marsden: "She always wanted the best for us. She taught us to be honest. To live a good life." Owing to her poverty, Garcia lived at home with her parents. Though described as a kind and gentle woman, Garcia was known for her substance abuse of alcohol. One relative stated: "Drinking was her downfall." Garcia had a practice of wandering the streets of Mesa looking for alcohol and random men to have sex with. The Hells Angels The Dirty Dozen Motorcycle Club of Arizona was considered to be one of the most vicious biker gangs in the United States. In 1997, the Dirty Dozen "patched over" to join the Hells Angels. Amongst the members of the Mesa chapter of the Hells Angels were Michael Kramer, Paul Merle Eischeid and Kevin Augustiniak. Kramer was an alcoholic and a methamphetamine addict who served prison sentences for assault and robbery. His longest prison sentence for four years between 1986 and 1990 for robbery, and after his release he worked as a garbageman. Kramer later told a court: "I thought it was cool to hand around with the bikers. Liked the image and at times the violence. I wasn't in it for the chicks or the money." Augsustiniak was a career criminal with convictions for trespassing, assault, drunk driving, and resisting arrest. In February 2001, he appeared at a "family day" event where a mother told him to be careful as he staggered around drunk, which led him to punch her in the face with such force that he broke her jaw. In June 2001 after his release from prison following his assault conviction, he became angry with his neighbor for banging his boots against the wall of their duplex building. He confronted his neighbor with his pistol and shot him twice, leaving the man seriously wounded on their front lawn. One of the arresting officers, Chris Hoffman, stated at the time of the arrest: "He was emotionless." The other arresting officer, Charles "Chuck" Schoville, told Sher and Marsden: ""Let's face it, when you shoot a neighbor for making noise, that's not normal. Kevin was just a loose cannon." In contrast to the working class Augustiniak and Kramer, Eischeid was a solidly middle-class man who worked as a successful stockbroker. Despite being clean shaven and respectable looking, Eischeid had covered his entire torso with tattoos with the Hells Angels death's head logo and "Hell 666 Bound" being tattooed on his chest. Eischeid did not have a criminal record. The journalist Kerrie Droban stated: "He was unusually handsome. He was charming. He was articulate because he was a former stockbroker. He was very disarming that way and that was one of the reasons he was construed as so dangerous." The murder On the evening of Thursday, October 25, 2001, a group of Hells Angels wearing their gang colors were drinking at a bar in Gilbert led by the Mesa chapter president Robert "Bad Bob" Johnson. When the bar closed at 1:30 am, the Hells Angels returned to their clubhouse to continue drinking. Amongst those drinking were Kramer, Augustiniak and Eischeid. The Angels sent out a "prospect" (the second level in an outlaw biker club), Kelby Randolph, on "a scavenger hunt for pussy" as the Angels wanted women for sex. In particular, the Angels wanted Randolph to bring an attractive woman in a red dress whom they had seen earlier and whom Randolph failed to find. Randolph was then sent in the words of Kramer "in search of any female that he could find". Randolph returned with Garcia whom he had found wandering the street of Mesa. Garcia drank prodigious amounts of alcohol from the Angels clubhouse bar and the atmosphere was jovial. Kramer later testified that Garcia started to "talk trash" about the Angels under the influence of alcohol. Kramer grabbed her by the hair and told her that the Angels would not tolerate abuse of their club within their own clubhouse, especially from a woman. Augustiniak complained that "she's acting stupid" and punched Garcia in the face with such force as to knock her straight to the ground. According to Kramer in his confession, both Eischeid and Augustiniak then beat Garcia, punching and kicking her while cursing her as a "dumb bitch". Kramer wrote that "She was bleeding and semi-conscious." Kramer in his confession stated that he, Kramer, Augustiniak and Eischeid forced her into the trunk of an automobile. Kramer wrote in his confession: "Eischeid got in the driver's seat, Augustiniak got in the front passenger seat and I got in the backseat. We drove to a remote location in the desert." Garcia screamed and kicked from the trunk. Augustiniak wanted Garcia to be killed to punish her for insulting the Hells Angels. Kramer told the police: "I had an idea what was going to happen and could not believe it." The three Angels drove past Apache Junction and parked their car in a remote area of the desert, off Usury Pass Road close to the Salt River. According to Kramer, Garcia was dragged out of the trunk and he alleges that Eischeid pulled out his knife to stab her in the chest several times. Augustiniak likewise pulled out his knife to join in the stabbing frenzy. Garcia was stabbed at least 20 times in the chest, but was still alive. According to his account, Kramer joined in to stab Garcia in the neck. At the end of the stabbing frenzy, Garcia was still alive, albeit barely, as she gurgled and gasped for air as she was drowning in her blood within her lungs. Kramer has alleged that Eischeid then proceeded alone to stab Garcia again. She reached out to grab Kramer by his leg and then let go as the life drained out of her. After her death, Augustiniak decided to behead her as he wanted Garcia's head as a morbid trophy, and then decided to place her head on a fence post. Augustiniak tried to saw Garcia's head, but the blade on his knife was too dull. Her corpse was dumped into a shallow grave and the three Angels drove back to Mesa, in a joyous mood. The killers upon their return to the clubhouse handed over their clothing and boots to a "prospect", Richard Hyder, who burned them. The carpeting from the trunk of Kramer's car was ripped out by Kramer and allegedly by Eischeid as well who washed down the car several times. The murder weapons were dumped in a waste disposal site. Investigation Bianca Garcia believed it odd that her mother had not contacted her or returned home, but knowing of her mother's problems with substance abuse did not contact the police until the weekend to rep....
