"A Ventura County man who murdered his mother and threw her dismembered remains in a dumpster was found not guilty of the killing by reason of insanity.

David Hoetzlein, 29, of Camarillo, admitted to strangling and killing his mother, Tomoko Hoetzlein, 62, in their Camarillo home in 2022, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said.

On June 3, 2022, Ventura County deputies responded to the area of Townsite Promenade after a man searching a dumpster for recyclables discovered human remains.

Detectives and the Medical Examiner’s office confirmed the body parts belonged to a woman. She was later identified as Tomoko.

Further investigation revealed that David had strangled and killed Tomoko before dismembering her and tossing her remains in the dumpster outside the apartment they shared, court documents said.

Prosecutors said David had a lengthy, documented history of severe mental illness.

In the days leading up to the killing, David was released from the Vista del Mar psychiatric hospital and his mother was trying to get him readmitted. She had written to the hospital, contacted his caseworker and reported the incident to law enforcement, but David was not readmitted.

In July 2023, David’s sister, Mao Cardenas, filed a federal lawsuit against the hospital, alleging wrongful death, civil rights violations and neglect, the Ventura County Star reported.

The suit alleged that despite objections from family members and David’s primary psychiatrist, the facility released David on May 31, 2022, with an incorrect diagnosis and prescription which put his mother’s life at risk.

According to the complaint, Tomoko had requested the sheriff’s office place David on a mental health hold after he allegedly stole her car and battered her, but deputies determined he did not meet the requirements.

In May 2024, after Hoetzlein was found incompetent to stand trial due to mental health issues, a judge eventually determined that he was capable of understanding court proceedings and assisting in his own defense, the VC Star reported.

On Jan. 22, 2026, he admitted to strangling and killing his mother, but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to one count of second-degree murder.

On Aug. 13, 2026, the DA’s Office announced that David was found not guilty by reason of insanity." - KTLA 5 News

Is it just me, or is the cell coverage absolutely terrible in this city? Any chance someone has a way to fix it?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a new home and would love to find a room in a house with kind, respectful people, ideally women around my age (late 20s–30s).

I’m hoping to find somewhere that feels more like a home and community than just a place to rent a room. I love living with other people and would really enjoy a house where people are friendly, occasionally spend time together, cook, craft, go on walks, etc.—while of course respecting each other’s privacy and independence.

A little about me:
I’m 29(F) and work remotely.
I’m creative and love sewing, knitting, crafting, music, and dance.
I’m clean, considerate, responsible, and easygoing.
I have a sweet cat, so the home would need to be cat-friendly. 🐈

What I'm looking for:
Cat-friendly
Ideally around $1,500/month or less, including utilities if possible
Preferably somewhere with a peaceful, homey atmosphere and access to nature
Ideally living with other women or a mixed household with kind, compatible people

If you know of anything that might be a good fit—or if you’re looking for a roommate—please send me a message! I’d love to hear about it. Thank you!

Hey, like the title says, anyone know where we can get good brunch WITH bottomless mimosas? Preferably Camarillo, Oxnard, or Ventura. Tia!

Really wishing I wasn't too disabled by my AuDHD (see: how horrible I am at posting time-sensitive anything) to run for public office...

Recently moved to camarillo off Carmen. Home Internet is Spectrum and has been fine. But Spectrum wireless (Verizon network) and ATT have both been horrible for mobile and calling. Is T-Mobile significantly better? Or should I just suffer and use wifi networks whenever possible?
