Christy Giles’ mom suspects daughter was drugged and raped before body dumped on LA sidewalk
Model Christy Giles’ mom insists that her daughter must have been drugged before she was dumped at an LA hospital — because she had serious self-defense training from her ex-solider dad and would have “fought like hell” if not incapacitated.
“My daughters have been taught literally how to kill a person with a ballpoint pen,” said Dusty Giles. “My daughter is a military police officer’s daughter, her father Leslie served in Iraq.”
The 24-year-old fashion plate was found dead after being dumped at Southern California Hospital in Culver City Saturday after a night of partying. Her friend, Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26, was left at a separate hospital and is on life support with no brain activity.
Giles’ husband Jan Cilliers has claimed to have seen video of three masked men dressed in black pull up to the hospital, where they pushed the 24-year-old model’s body out of a Toyota Prius without license plates.
Dusty Giles expects her daughter’s toxicology report will reveal traces of heroin and fears the drug was forcefully injected before Christy was brutalized.
“The only way that these men would have kept my daughter and Hilda for over 10 hours would be by giving them drugs, maybe tying them up,” she told The US Sun.
“I believe they drugged them to keep them and I believe they probably raped them.”
She added: “My daughter would have fought like hell and from my understanding from speaking to the emergency room doctor and nurse, they did not see any visible bruises, scratches, or any indication of an altercation.”
Officials with the LA County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner said an autopsy will be conducted on Giles but there was no additional information as of Thursday.
LAPD officials also declined to comment with the investigation ongoing.
The Giles family is still awaiting the results of a toxicology report and a rape kit test performed on Christy.
The grieving mother has ruled out any possibility of an accidental heroin overdose because her daughter was painfully aware of how devastating the drug could be.
“My daughter has never done heroin in her life,” she continued.
“She has a cousin who did heroin once and got addicted.
“He’s been in and out of rehab twice. She’s very close to him and she was upset that he did that.
“She’s had close friends OD out there and she told me ‘It’s crazy mom, they lace this stuff with fentanyl and people do it once as a party thing and then they’re dead.”
Dusty Giles said Christy had been open and honest about dabbling in a raft illicit drugs, which is why she is so sure the model was honest about avoiding heroin.
“Was my daughter an angel? No, my daughter did dabble in what she said were party drugs,” she continued.
“She said ‘I’m not going to lie mom, I’ll do a line of coke once in a while, I’ve done ketamine or I’ll do molly, and every once in a while with friends I’ve tried mushrooms.’
“My daughter was extremely open and unapologetic about the way that she lived her life.
“Even though we live in Alabama and we have a different outlook on things, she had no reason to lie to her husband and her best friends in California.”
Dusty Giles said an accidental overdose could not explain why her daughter would be left for dead.
“If it was an accidental overdose, why not call 911?” she said.
“Why do you wait 10 hours until she is dead to fling her on a sidewalk, remove your license plates, obscure your face?”
