“I didn’t even know I looked like a monster — like, I look like a freaking horrible monster,” Sanchez said. “That was not my intention at all.”
On July 21, Sanchez was driving a car with her sibling, Jacqueline Sanchez, and another 14-year-old girl in Los Banos, California. Obdulia, who was allegedly intoxicated at the time, lost control of the vehicle.
When the 2003 Buick veered off the road and flipped into a field, the other girls were ejected from the vehicle as they were allegedly not wearing seatbelts, according to the California Highway Patrol report, which was obtained by PEOPLE.
At the time of the crash, Obdulia was streaming live video of herself on social media. After the wreck, she continued filming once again, showing her sister’s dead body on camera.
“I just seen [the video] on Sunday and I just started crying. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe I did that,” she said. “If I would’ve known that that would’ve happened that day I would have never left the house ever.”
Saying of her late sister, Obdulia said, “She’s 14. She’s like my mini-me — like my best friend. She looked just like me. Anytime I look at her, it’s like I’m looking at myself. It makes me like — it makes me really sad that she’s gone.”
Obdulia’s video shows her kneeling beside her mortally wounded sibling. She can be seen speaking calmly at first then becoming more emotional.
“Hey, everybody, if I go to f*cking jail for life, you already know why,” she says.
Turning the camera towards her sister’s motionless body, Obdulia says, “My sister is f*cking dying. Look, If*cking love my sister to death. I don’t give a f*ck. Man, we about to die. This is the last thing I wanted to happen to us, but it just did.”
“This is the last thing I wanted to happen… I killed my sister, but I don’t care. I killed my sister. I know I’m going to prison, but I don’t care. I’m sorry, baby. I’ma hold it down…. rest in peace, sweetie,” Sanchez said.
At the end of July, Sanchez was denied lower bail by a California judge.
If convicted on all charges, Sanchez faces a maximum sentence of 13 years and eight months in prison. She remains in custody at the Merced County jail on $560,000 bail.
