Devastated husband remembers last time he spoke to model Christy Giles as Hollywood producer goes on trial for murder

WHEN Jan Cilliers went to bed on November 12, 2021, all was well with the world.

His new model wife, Christy Giles, was in Los Angeles with friends and sent her husband a picture of a glorious sunset.

CRUSHING FINAL TEXT

“She said, ‘I wish you were here,'” Jan told The U.S. Sun.

Just hours later, however, the life of the LA-based visual effects artist was cruelly ripped apart.

Christy and her interior designer friend Hilda Cabrales-Arzola had a night out that took a tragic turn when they were drugged and abandoned outside different hospitals.

Unfortunately, Christy, 24, was declared dead at the scene, while Cabrales-Arzola passed away just days before her 27th birthday when her family decided to discontinue life support.

Subsequent toxicology reports revealed that both women succumbed to “multiple drug intoxication.” The film producer David Pearce, whom the two women had met that night, was charged in July 2022 with two counts of murder along with other charges related to controlled substances.

INDESCRIBABLE PAIN

Brandt Osborn, an actor, and Pearce’s roommate were arrested on the TV show NCIS set and later released on $40,000 bail.

Heartbroken Jan spoke to The U.S Sun ahead of the bombshell double murder trial, which began this week and is set to stretch until the end of January.

The pain of losing his beloved wife will never ease, even if the culmination of the case could bring a degree of closure for the South African.

He’s undergone therapy and traveled in the desperate push to mend his broken heart.

Christy’s birthday is still celebrated by her nearest and dearest. The commemoration of her and her friend’s senseless, untimely death, however, will forever be the darkest of days.

“It’s been over three years now since she died,” Jan continued. “That’s a long time to be in limbo. I’m just pleased the trial is happening now. I’m hoping for a sense of closure, but who knows if that’s something you ever really get.”

He admits facing up to Pearce will be “a shock to the system,” and the desperation to demand why the 40-year-old allegedly left the girls to die rather than calling an ambulance burns deep inside.

“Just seeing them face to face won’t be great,” Jan added.

EVENING FROM HELL

The nightmare began with a visit to an art exhibit at Soho House in West Hollywood, followed by plans to go clubbing and attend an afterparty in the Hollywood Hills.

Yet what started as a night of fun and celebration soon turned into a horrific double killing.

The evening took a devastating turn when both women were exposed to a deadly combination of Class A drugs.

Authorities later revealed that the women had consumed a toxic mix of heroin, MDMA, cocaine, fentanyl, ketamine, and GHB, substances that together proved fatal.

Exclusive pictures obtained by The U.S. Sun graphically depicted Pearce’s squalid apartment, where the two innocent women spent their final hours.

We also unearthed disturbing snaps of Pearce with alleged rapist and former porn star Ron Jeremy.

Surveillance footage from a hospital captured two masked men dumping Giles’ body from a car without license plates.

Giles was found unresponsive outside a hospital in Culver City, while Cabrales-Arzola was discovered two hours later outside a medical facility in West Los Angeles.

The trial, held at LA’s Superior Court, is set to include sickening revelations from multiple women who will claim they were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of alleged killer Pearce.

Jan is confident that Pearce will be caged for the crimes — criminal expert Kelly Hyman told The U.S. Sun late last year that there is a “mountain of evidence” against him — and knows seeing his wife’s family, who have flown in from Alabama, will ensure a highly emotional affair.

They have worked tirelessly together to spread awareness of the shocking case and ensure that “it doesn’t get swept under the rug.”

But no matter what transpires, the indescribable agony will never subside.

“Even now, sometimes when I wake up, it’s hard to believe she’s not here,” Jan admitted. “It feels like I’m living in the twilight zone sometimes. She’s always with me.”
