About this listen

 The source provides an extensive account of the murder of Juan Carlos Hernandez, a 21-year-old student who vanished while working at an unlicensed cannabis dispensary in South Los Angeles in September 2020. The narrative details how his disappearance was initially treated as a voluntary missing persons case before his mother's persistence led the LAPD to seize the dispensary's DVR system, where technicians painstakingly recovered deleted security footage. This crucial evidence showed the dispensary’s manager and owner attacking Hernandez, leading to their eventual conviction and sentencing to 25 years to life after his body was found in the Mojave Desert. Ultimately, the article examines the case as a stark illustration of the vulnerabilities and crime prevalent in California’s unregulated, cash-heavy cannabis industry.
