SoCal plumber poisoned elderly customer with fentanyl, paid himself with victim's accounts, D.A. say

Authorities have released shocking new information about a case involving a Camarillo man who is currently behind bars for one murder and was recently linked with another.
Rotherie Durell Foster, 38, was arrested last year in connection with the murder of 35-year-old José Antonio Velásquez, who was reported missing in July 2022 and whose body was found months later off Mulholland Drive in the Santa Monica Mountains. Foster and Velásquez knew each other and were both plumbers, officials from the Ventura County District Attorney's Office and Sheriff's Office said.

No. They found the co-workers body. Killer was arrested. Then while investigating co-worker's murder further, the police discovered another dead guy with suspicious deposits into killer's account. They exhumed that guy's body and found he died from fentanyl overdose just like the co-worker. Now he's charged with two murders. And he'd already served time in the past for manslaughter. Let's hope he wasn't doing any plumbing jobs on the side cause they'll never be able to track down if he murdered any of those folks.

He was sentenced to 16-years for voluntary manslaughter when he was a teenager in 2002. He was paroled in 2018. We don't know anything about his case to say he got a light sentence. 16 years when you're a teenager is not a light sentence. When are they going to hold white people like Elizabeth Holmes accountable? She stole hundreds of millions and got 11 years. Someone living in a poor neighborhood stealing $20K would spend more time in prison than her. If you want to be a racist then look at who commits these massive financial frauds.

Sounds like this plumbing company needs to go out of business. Knowingly hiring someone who was a violent convicted felon (manslaughter) and providing him access to unsuspecting customers' homes.

[@Brazen131]

Wait … an autopsy was not needed? Start asking questions to the local DA and remove her from public “service”. I don’t care if the victim is black white brown or red or green. There needs to be accountability in our public and political officials. Everyone is so quick to instantly blame a man or woman for their horrific actions but nobody is willing to speak out on the public officials who handle these cases. They release them. Just recently a man was released on 1,000,000 dollar bail for murder in LA.

I’m so tired of hearing the word public servant there’s some of the most highly paid with the best benefits known to man they get huge pensions at usually around age 55 years old where in the private sector you typically can’t retire till you’re 65 or 70 and you’re Social Security is a fractionof public servants pensioned

[@sdickinson5234]

Hundreds of people die in the Los Angeles area every day. If they are over age 40 and don't look suspicious they aren't going to do an autopsy.

[@kimalonzo4912]

I thought that certain jobs were off limits to convicted felons so how was he allowed to be a plumber with a criminal background. Certainly that job requires access to other ppl's homes which should automatically disqualify felons from them. Being a barber is off limits to some felons so why isn't being a plumber. The system is so screwed up. SMH

He's a plumber. A large percentage of tradesmen in the construction industry, like plumbers, framers, and electricians are felons.

Should a felon never be allowed to work again? What do you propose? What's the point of prison of then if you think people should be punished the rest of their lives?

Union plumbers go through an apprenticeship and background checks. Seems like the way to go for quality and safety.

[@wolfgangk1]

They suspected that he had killed someone, THEN they noticed that he was using the victim's money--but they needed to investigate further. Why wouldn't keep killing people he saw that the police were disinterested and inept. TRANSLATED: The PD dropped the ball--and it's wasn't the first time.

Wow I’m sure he didn’t know his plumber was a killer damn who’s hiring this guy and letting him go to peoples houses.. I would sue the plumbing company for hiring a killer.

[@davidwoods358]

If he's is under actual investigation for murder, what's he doing out on the street (being allowed to continue murder people?)

That's a medical examiner who should no longer be a doctor

[@cherylalt101]

They didn't even do a blood test? Talked to the guy's doctor and decided natural causes. It seems like there should be some basic medical exam. I understand an autopsy isn't indicated for every death. You'd think the bank would notice withdrawals or unusual checks after the guy was dead.
