VIRGINIA BEACH - A Virginia Beach male escort and his partner were arrested Tuesday in connection with the slaying of a gay porn film producer who was stabbed to death earlier this year in Pennsylvania.
Harlow Raymond Cuadra, 25, and Joseph Manuel Kerekes, 33, both of 1028 Stratem Court, were arrested by Beach police about 10 a.m. on Virginia Beach Boulevard as they drove in their black BMW, according to Barry Taylor, a Beach attorney who represents Cuadra.
The two men, who operate Norfolk Gay Escorts and Norfolk Companions Inc., as well as at least two Web sites, have been suspects in the case since Beach police executed a search warrant at their home in February.
On Tuesday, they were taken to Virginia Beach police headquarters while investigators with the Pennsylvania State Police considered a host of charges against them relating to the slaying of Bryan C. Kocis of Dallas, Pa., on Jan. 24.
The local headlines on May 15, 2007 read: Two Beach men charged with murder of Pa. porn producer.

Meanwhile... who can forget this account that Harlow gave during John Roecker's interview:
"Harlow: Ah Joe goes up to me, and he goes like, Harlow, you know I'm hungry, and I'm like so, umm big freakin deal, and he's like, I don't wanna go eat alone, and I'm in the middle of listening to this [inaudible], and I press pause on it, and uh, so I'm like alright, I just put on a shirt or something and we go down stairs and you know, when we, when we were on the highway, we noticed that there were like six cop cars behind us, but no lights, no sirens, or anything, ya know, I didn't think anything of it... and umm, once we got off on the exit, more and more of them were behind us and behind us, and I was like hey Joe, I think their doing some type of exercise, because ah, right across from my house there's a police academy... so I'm like, oh, ah, that's cool, there doing some type of exercise. So we pull in, and, ah, the ladies that work at the Boston Market, you know, like, their used to me, and they're like waiving from ah, outside the window, and I'm like waiving back, and then all of a sudden I noticed that they stopped waiving, so I looked behind me, and you know, all the cops are out of their cars".
... needless to say Harlow's story is mostly fiction... so is there any surprise that almost two years later... both are now serving life in prison without parole?
No surprise here.

I can buy "we went out for dinner" at least...
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many police cars there REALLY were. First there were six, and then there were "more and more of them."
ReplyDeleteI find it a little questionable.
In any case, it must have been an interesting show for the employees at Popeye's (and anyone else who was around). They probably talked about it for days.
There was one.

I could too... but they left and were arrested before the restaurant was even open.
From a comment I made on the old blog:
This statement is also interesting. Harlow and Joe were arrested at about 10:00 AM on May 15, 2007. Harlow states that he and Joe are going there to eat. The Boston Market in question is located at 3981 Virginia Beach Blvd, so that wouldn't seem so surprising, but what is surprising is that the restaurant doesn't even open until 11:00 AM (I called and spoke with the Manager).
Sorry about the time switch, but from the description quoted it sounded more like an early evening meal than a late breakfast.
ReplyDeleteQuite a story though.
