Alejandro Hernandez Rivera, 24, of Vallejo, began researching the value of Neff’s golden flute in the days before he robbed and strangled the 66-year-old
retired Bank of America executive, deputy district attorney Harold Jewett said Monday in his opening statement. Rivera is charged with murder, arson, burglary and robbery. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted. His attorney, deputy public defender Mike Kelly, chose not to give an opening statement and declined to comment on Rivera’s defense.
Neff was gay and previously had long-term partners, but the nature of his relationships in the months before his 2008 death were more transitory, prosecutors said. The relationships were not purely sexual, however, as Neff was cordial to his lovers and liked to cook for them, Jewett said.
He said Neff met Rivera in early 2008 through Rivera’s Craigslist ad for
erotic massage services, and the two began an ongoing sexual relationship in exchange for money.
