When police confronted him about the murder by showing him the picture Martinez had taken of him moments before her death, he confessed that it was indeed him in the picture.
However, he claimed that he had no recollection of shooting Martinez and that he must have blacked out.
Handguns were also found on French’s premises and one of the guns was a ballistics match for the gun used to kill Martinez.

It was found that French did not know Martinez prior to the murder and that she had not delivered food to him prior to her murder either.
Every please pray for the departed and also hope the family of Pamela Rae Martinez finds peace after her senseless murder.
