Actor Involved in Grisly Double Costa Mesa Murder Just Gets Jail Time

Buffett: Though I expertly manipulated my dumb ex-boyfriend, he duped me in murder plot, okay?

Despite hard to ignore evidence of her role in the murders of two Coast Community College students, Rachel Buffett this week received a relative slap on the wrist punishment of 32 months in the local jail.

In September, an Orange County jury found Buffett guilty of lying to Costa Mesa Police Department detectives as they investigated the gruesome, 2010 killings of Sam Herr and Julie Kibuishi.

Superior Court Judge Sheila Hanson told a pale-looking Buffett, who had been beaten by other inmates prior to her sentencing, that she’d purposely concocted lies to mislead police.

Buffett’s plight is far less severe than what’s facing her ex-fiancé, Danial Wozniak, who now lives on California’s death row inside San Quentin State Prison.

She’d faced a potential state prison punishment of nearly four years.

Before deputies hauled her back to the Orange County Jail, Buffett—the onetime community theater actor—endured listening to emotional statements from relatives of the victims.

Investigative journalist Linda Sawyer, who intensely studied the killings and exposed previously unknown facts that undermine the government’s official version of events, believes Buffett should have been held accountable for more serious charges.

But at a post-sentencing press conference, veteran homicide prosecutor Matt Murphy defended his filing decision and ridiculed Sawyer as well as media outlets that publicized her work which has been aired on iHeartRadio’s popular Sleuth podcast.
