The young California couple below has been indicted in the romantic setup and murder of a 52-year-old wealthy gay Texan last spring.
David Meza, 25, and his longtime girlfriend Taylor Marie Langston, 20, are accused of killing millionaire Jake Merendino, after the victim named Meza -- whom he believed was his lover -- as sole heir to a fortune.
The heartless plot quickly unraveled, though, when police discovered Merendino’s vehicle and butchered corpse at the bottom of a ravine just across the Mexican border.
He had been stabbed in the chest multiple times, and the scheming twosome who did it were apprehended a short time later at his luxury seaside condominium in Baja California.
If convicted, bogus boy toy David Meza faces life in prison on charges related to homicidal domestic-violence, conspiracy to commit murder, and obstruction of justice.
Meza’s conniving gal pal could see a lengthy sentence too for her role as his accomplice; although, at the moment, she’s free on bond to nurse their newborn infant.
