At the age of 10, his father took the boy to a public school for the mentally retarded. Upon entering school, Joe passed an IQ test of 49 points.
When he turned 21, he decided to drop everything and leave the city. Here he got a job at the station.
But he did not live a quiet life for long. A month later, a high-profile murder with the use of violence took place in the vicinity. 2 girls were injured, one of them survived.
Joe was caught in those days for vagrancy, just around the corner from murder.
Sheriff George Carroll indicted Joe Arridi. He stated that the guy confessed everything during the interrogation.
At the same time, the police had already caught the real culprit - Aguilar by that time. He worked for the girls' father in the house where the attack took place. But Joe Arridi was recognized as his partner.
