Background
Known as the Nicole Brown Copycat [...], California's worst child-on-child crime was committed in 1994 by a 13-year-old boy named Adan Garcia, who murdered 14-year-old family friend Andrea Hines. Garcia stabbed Hines 74 times, carving a stylized pentagram of his first initial on her stomach and nearly severing her head. The [...] was the only recorded [...] in town history, though incidents of child abuse and domestic violence were fairly common according to retired Holtville Police Sergeant Ralph Munoz. The teenagers were left alone at Andrea's home for one hour while their parents had a drink at a local bar. Garcia served 12 years in the California Youth Authority (CYA) and was released in October of 2005. His mother still resides in Holtville; Adan's whereabouts are unknown.
Plot
In 1994, the small town of Holtville, California near the Mexican border was rocked by the wickedly brutal [...] of 14-year-old Andrea Hines at the hands of 13-year-old childhood friend Adan. Over the course of three years, Los Angeles documentary filmmaker Constance Jackson went to Holtville to interview dozens of people including family members of the teenagers involved - in an attempt to somehow make sense of this senseless act. Through extensive use of InterViews, re-enactments, dramatizations, animation, media coverage, and family archives, Blitz Attack: The Andrea Hines Story Parts I and II are compelling and detailed in the account and history leading up to Andea’s tragedy and its enduring legacy.
Continuing Education Recognition
