Obit: The Clare Orton Murder and Orton Development
WALNUT CREEK — Two promising students — one a freshman at San Diego State and the other who studied engineering at Stanford University — died Tuesday in what police said looked like a murder-suicide in a home just north of Ygnacio Valley Road.
Clare Orton, a 19-year-old majoring in environmental engineering in San Diego, was found dead in her parents’ Walnut Creek home off Homestead Avenue. Also there was the body of Scott Bertics, a 21-year-old Lafayette resident who had attended Stanford.
Police called to the neighborhood around 6:50 a.m. said they found the two dead from gunshot wounds inside a home on Holton Court.
The two knew each other and had dated, police said.
She had graduated from Las Lomas High School in 2014 and he from Acalanes in Lafayette in 2012. Both were interested in engineering and both were long distance runners on the track teams at their high schools.
Orton’s family lived in the home for more than 10 years, said neighbor Linda Darnsteadt.
The “very pleasant” college student was visiting her home for the summer break from San Diego State, where she had completed her first year, Darnsteadt said.
“I’m just so sad. That’s so tragic,” she said.
Darnsteadt and her husband Gary said that they did not hear gunshots.
“We knew something tragic had happened, but we didn’t know what,” Linda Darnsteadt said. Police cars filled the cul-de-sac until noonOrton was an honors student at San Diego State, according to a school merit page. Her Facebook page includes a reference to membership in the Society of Women Engineers at San Diego State and to the Eco-Action Club at Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek.
For a photo of a rainbow posted on her Facebook page, she wrote, “When the sunrise is underwhelming, turn around, you may see a double rainbow.”
Bertics was on leave of absence from Stanford and last attended the school in the fall of 2014, a school spokesman said.
Stanford’s website lists Bertics as a member of a team that in 2013 worked on project called “Controlling Robot Dynamics with Spiking Neurons.” He is also credited in a 2014 paper by some of the same team members for developing the driver interface in a project titled: “Controlling Articulated Robots in Task-Space with Spiking Silicon Neurons.”
A 2011 Github entry shows his pleasure at winning an animation code award. “I wrote this program during the summer quarter in 2011 and it won the Stanford CS106A graphics contest!”
Bertics also had a YouTube channel called “sbertics” on which he put videos of his projects, but the newest videos were of glider flights over Oahu in Hawaii. His electronic device videos were three years old.
Walnut Creek police would like to hear from anyone who might have information about what happened. They can be reached at 925-943-5844.

Two Defendants Sentenced for Participating in Racketeering
Conspiracy with Russian-American Organized Crime Enterprise
Operating International Sportsbook That Laundered More Than
$100 Million
Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that ANATOLY GOLUBCHIK was sentenced yesterday in Manhattan federal court to five years in prison, and VADIM TRINCHER was also sentenced today to five years in prison for participating in a racketeering conspiracy in connection with their roles as members of a Russian-American organized crime enterprise. GOLUBCHIK and TRINCHER were also each ordered to forfeit more than $20 million in cash, investments, and real property. They were charged in April 2013 along with 32 other alleged members and associates of two Russian-American organized crime enterprises in an indictment that included racketeering, money laundering, extortion, and various gambling offenses. GOLUBCHIK and TRINCHER were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “The sentences
meted out to Anatoly Golubchik and Vadim Trincher are just
and appropriate penalties for the roles the defendants
played in this far-reaching, Russian-American organized
crime ring. I’d like to thank the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the New York City Police Department, and the
Internal Revenue Service for their tireless efforts in
working to ensure that the members of this underground
enterprise were held to account for their crimes.”
According to the indictment, other documents filed in
Manhattan federal court, and statements made at various
proceedings in this case, including today’s sentencing:
The Taiwanchik-Trincher Organization (the “Organization”)
was a criminal enterprise with strong ties to Russia and
Ukraine. The enterprise operated a high-stakes, illegal
sports gambling business out of New York City that catered
primarily to Russian oligarchs living in Ukraine and Russia.
GOLUBCHIK and TRINCHER were U.S.-based participants in the
enterprise. GOLUBCHIK and TRINCHER booked sports bets that
reached into the millions of dollars and laundered the
proceeds of the Organization’s international sportsbook.
Between 2006 and April 2012, the enterprise laundered
approximately $100 million in proceeds from their gambling
operation in Russia and Ukraine through shell companies and
bank accounts in Cyprus; and of this $100 million,
approximately $50 million was subsequently sent from Cyprus
into the United States. Once the money had been transferred
to the United States, it was either laundered through
additional shell companies or invested in legitimate
investments, such as hedge funds and real estate.
The Taiwanchik-Trincher Organization operated under the
protection of Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, who is known as a
“Vor,” a term translated as “Thief-in-Law,” that refers to a
member of a select group of high-level criminals from the
former Soviet Union. Tokhtakhounov used his status as a Vor
to resolve disputes with clients of the high-stakes illegal
gambling operation with implicit and sometimes explicit
threats of violence and economic harm. Between December 2011
and February 2013, Tokhtakhounov was paid at least
approximately $12 million for his services by the
Taiwanchik-Trincher Organization. Tokhtakhounov is also
under indictment in the Southern District of New York for
his alleged involvement in bribing officials at the 2002
Winter Olympics held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tokhtakhounov
is a fugitive and is still being sought.
