Jeff A. Udvarhelyi - Child Abuse Detective, Escondido Police Department

During the Summer of 2013, 27 year-old Gilbert Chavarria terrified the residents of North San Diego County after he forced his way into several homes and sexually assaulted nine children between the ages of 4 to 15 while they were asleep. During the initial investigation(s) DNA was identified at two separate crime scenes in two separate cities. Chavarria's eventual arrest was the first in San Diego County history resulting from a familial DNA match. This case study will detail the exhaustive investigative efforts preceding and following Chavarria's arrest to include: the development of a major case strategy while working in partnership with other investigative agencies, post-arrest interview strategy and the significant lessons learned throughout the course of the 18 month-long investigation. In March of 2019, efforts were made to meet with and speak to Chavarria following his sentencing in January of 2018. Investigators will share with you details of their candid interview with Chavarria and how they learned details about the investigation that were not known until their meeting in March of 2019.
