+ | In the 1960s, Trent was an elementary school teacher, but in 1966, he was convicted of molesting a nine-year-old boy when he was caught in the school's bathroom holding the student's privates while he urinated. He subsequently served fifteen months of a two-year sentence at Wayside. In 1975, he began working as a set decorator, and in 1984, he moved to [[wikipedia:Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles|Laurel Canyon]] where he rented a house on Wonderland Avenue; in 1987, he bought the house from the landlord. |
In January of 2002, he was questioned by [[wikipedia:Los Angeles Police Department|LAPD]] detectives [[Harry Bosch]] and [[Jerry Edgar]] after the bones of a [[Arthur Delacroix|child]] were discovered on the wooded hillside near his house. He was briefly considered a suspect, but he was later ruled out when it was determined that the victim had been killed in 1980, four years before Trent moved to the neighborhood. In addition, Edgar had reviewed the old molestation conviction and felt that it was "weak" and probably should never have been prosecuted. |
