A Disappearance That Triggered Alarm
At the time of the killing, Ali and Castillo were in the process of divorcing. Castillo was last seen on Nov. 10, 2022, after dropping the couple’s two children off with Ali for the day, according to reporting from KTTV. Castillo lived in Simi Valley, California, with her sister. When Castillo did not return home, her sister discovered what investigators later described as a crime scene: a large quantity of blood inside the apartment, along with Castillo’s keys, car, and cellphone. Authorities were alerted immediately, launching a multi-agency investigation.Zarbab Ali Confession and Conviction
On Nov. 13, 2022, FBI agents and Simi Valley Police located Castillo’s body buried in a shallow grave in a remote desert area of Antelope Valley. Ali was arrested later that same day outside his parents’ home in Victorville, California, according to the district attorney. During multiple interviews with detectives, Ali confessed to the killing, the Ventura County Star reported. He told investigators that after dropping off the children with his parents, he went to Castillo’s apartment, found the door unlocked, and waited inside. Ali admitted he stabbed Castillo three times when she entered her bedroom. He then wrapped her body in a blanket and buried her in a remote location. The following day, he returned to the grave, dug up her body, and raped her remains. In a taped interview obtained by the Ventura County Star, Ali made a statement that jurors later heard during the trial: “If I didn’t commit to being a monster, then she would have died for no reason. I am a monster.”Zarbab Ali Motive and Obsessive Jealousy
Prosecutors said Ali told detectives he was motivated by jealousy over Castillo’s relationships with other men and anger over their custody arrangement and child support obligations. He also expressed dissatisfaction with his living situation following the separation.
