In both endeavors, his steady nerves were his best asset. He recalled a time he was pulled over en route to Chicago. The officer said he was going to bring dogs to search his car. Martinez said he smiled and offered to help. Seeing Martinez so at ease, the officer decided to skip the search.

If the dogs had come, Martinez said, they would have found 10 kilos of cocaine. His work brought in a vast amount of cash. If smuggling and collecting paid the bills, murder was what set him apart. Martinez said he taught himself to be an assassin in part by watching movies.

Be patient. If the killings weighed on Martinez, he gave little sign of it. During the Ayon shooting, bullets also hit a teenage bystander, a high school student who worked on a ranch each morning before classes. Martinez barely shrugged. Martinez sometimes combined acts of violence with small gestures of empathy.

The caller offered some remarkably specific guidance about the killing, which he said was revenge for a stabbing during a card game. The caller also said that Bedolla may not have been the intended target. Diaz made a plan to meet the caller for a personal interview. The file does not say whether the meeting took place. Years later, Martinez confessed to the murder but denied making that call.

Still, the name Jose Martinez weaves through this and other case files like a bright thread. His name turns up as a source in one murder. As a figure in the events leading up to another.

On several occasions, police thought he could be the killer. Even then, they never charged him with murder. They found a woman who said Martinez had attempted to hire her to lure Barragan to an isolated place. They arrested Martinez on the parole violation, but, he said, he managed to swallow the SIM card from one of his phones before officers could see his text messages.

They tried to interrogate him but got nowhere. Martinez did a few months in jail for the parole violation. The murder remained unsolved. Some recall him as a dedicated family man who helped his mother take care of her peach-colored house on a windswept cul-de-sac. Some say he was a friendly figure, offering a neighbor a cold soda at the end of a hot day. And some will confide they heard whispers that he was a killer, that he went by the name El Mano Negra. Martinez had been killing people with a strong voice in the community, he would have been caught much earlier, because resources would have been dedicated to solving these crimes.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into the cases. At the same time, the prevalence of the drug trade here, and its attendant violence, sometimes overwhelms police. According to the most recent state statistics, Kern County had the second-highest homicide rate among mid-sized or large counties, and Tulare County came in at number seven out of 58 counties.

Though little noticed by the outside world, these small, sleepy towns play a key distribution role in the movement of drugs into the United States, and the transit of guns and money that accompany the trade.

In many cases, law enforcement officials said, drugs coming from Mexico bypass Los Angeles or San Diego entirely and arrive in stash houses in the Central Valley before heading to points north and east. Guns, which are harder to buy in Mexico than in the US, flow in the opposite direction. Not far away, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas that rise up east of Tulare County, officials are also waging a battle over marijuana being grown on public lands — often, officials said, by armed work crews that occasionally shoot one another, pollute national parks , or spark huge wildfires.

The lucrative trade has infiltrated law enforcement. As officers patrolled the flatlands of Tulare and Kern counties, some heard the gossip that El Mano Negra was a contract killer. But there was so much other crime. So much other violence.

Witnesses, when there were any, had a way of turning frightened and forgetful. You can only do what you can do. And yet, sometimes it was almost as if Martinez were daring the Tulare sheriffs to catch him.

Martinez said he wanted his Chevy Suburban back. He offered to talk to them again about what he knew. This time, Martinez went so far as to suggest to police that he was a collector for a drug cartel, which he said was based in Guadalajara. Detective Cesar Fernandez decided to seize the moment. He asked Martinez if he would be willing to submit to a lie detector test on the question of who killed Barragan.

Lie detector results are generally not admissible in court in California, but police often use them while conducting investigations. Martinez agreed to the test. The examiner asked to do a second test, which would be focused more on whether Martinez had carried out the killing.

A second investigator did his own analysis of the results. Javier Huerta, a masonry contractor with an apparent side business in cocaine, had been accused of stealing 10 kilos from another drug distributor. Martinez, hired to collect the debt, flew into town in November and discovered his target was 20 years old. So he posed as a homeowner in need of masonry work. Then Martinez shot him four times.

He put another four bullets into one of his coworkers. Their bodies, wrists bound with zip ties, were left to rot in a Nissan truck parked on a swampy stretch of road at the edge of the Ocala National Forest.

Police figured out fairly quickly that they were dealing with a drug hit. They heard about the stolen cocaine and the money. But they got nowhere on who had ordered the hit and who had carried it out. They emptied it and found a cigarette butt, which they bagged and tagged into evidence and sent off to the crime lab for testing. It should have hit. And, overwhelmed with mountains of evidence that all seemed to be leading them nowhere, no one seems to have noticed. For six years. They soon came across something startling: Some of the evidence, including the cigarette butt, had not been fully analyzed.

In the intervening years, Martinez had killed at least four — and as many as six — more people. Unaware of what was happening in Florida, Martinez arrived in Alabama in the winter of for an extended visit with his daughter and granddaughters. When one was sick, he kept vigil at her bedside all night. And he threw himself into helping his daughter, who was divorced and working on building her own roofing business. Eventually he found an opportunity to contribute. Martinez figured he could lend his expertise, and in the process get Ruiz to tell him a little bit more about the man his daughter was dating.

Instead, Ruiz, according to police and Martinez, made a fateful mistake. Martinez was enraged. Ruiz, he decided, would have to die. But he said nothing at the time. He knew that he and Ruiz had been seen together. Revenge would have to wait. So he went home to California to be with his mother. On Feb. Watts, of Marion County, Florida — six years late — finally got the crime lab report on the forgotten cigarette butt.

It revealed that Evidence Item 28, a cigarette butt from a Mountain Dew can, had hit a match against a man once held in prison in California: Jose Manuel Martinez, of Richgrove, California. The victim had frequently driven workers and clients to job sites. The cigarette butt could belong to any one of those people. There was no reason to assume that one DNA match would solve the case — much less that the suspect was a serial murderer and that acting quickly could save other lives. When they stopped next to a hayfield to stretch their legs, Martinez pulled out a gun.

He fired his gun, shooting Ruiz twice in the head. He got back in the car and glared at the startled Romero. But as it happened, nearby hunters heard the shots and came upon it in less than an hour. Martinez was back in California, at the Earlimart home where his sons lived, when local police showed up at his door on April With the murder he had committed in Alabama fresh in his mind, Martinez took one look at them and bolted out the back.

But Martinez had run for nothing. She was part of a task force investigating a series of violent, drug-related robberies, one of which involved an allegation of attempted sexual assault. Martinez was not a suspect, but he was a felon in possession of ammunition. As cops were cuffing him, a colleague whispered to Derington that he was El Mano Negra, the man who was rumored to be a hired assassin, the man who had been suspected of involvement in at least four local murders.

During the drive to the station, Derington told Martinez about the string of stash-house robberies.
