Olongapo police form 'Task Force Scarlet'

 
OLONGAPO City: Police authorities formed “Task Force Scarlet” one day after ‘Viva Hot Babe Scarlet Garcia Bouffard and three others were found dead inside their apartment in Barangay Gordon Heights.

Olongapo City Police Director Abelardo Villacorta told The Manila Times that he had formed the said task force to look further into the angles surrounding the murder of Bouffard and her three friends.

“We are looking into four possible angles, a love triangle, a grudge against anyone of the four, robbery, or murder committed by a syndicate,” Villacorta said. 

Bouffard, 23, was found dead together with her cousin Rachael Estacio, 20, Van Mark Bandejas, 20, and Bouffard’s boy friend Jorge Vitug, 27, and they all had gunshot wounds in the head. 

“While we cannot yet say the exact illegal activity, we are investigating the possibility that the murder is related to a deal that went wrong involving a syn­dicate and one of the victims,” he added.

Police also recovered inside the apart­ment a uniform and an ID belong­ing to a certain SPO1 Eupoldo Vitug who is the uncle of one of the victims.

Manila Times sources identified SPO1 Vitug as a motor vehicle inspector of the Traffic Management Group based in Camp Crame.

“Ginagamit ni Scarlet yung ID at yung uniform para hindi siya masita o ginagawa niyang parang badge, pang protection ba [Scarlet uses the ID and uniform for protection should she run into some trouble with the authorities], “ the source said.

Villacorta added that one of the victims whom he refused to identify is allegedly involved in some car deal that went wrong. 

The victims were heard singing-along with a videoke and having fun the night before the reported tragedy.
