Danny Garcia was one of the main masterminds who executed the murder plan, alongside Kaushal Niroula, Jose Garcia, Miguel Bustamante, and David Replogle. Cliff was a millionaire, and Garcia's eyes were on his wealth. This led the murderers to kill him and bury his body in a shallow desert grave outside Los Angeles, as shown in the Dateline episode.

Where is Clifford Lambert's murderer, Danny Garcia, now? Trials, Convictions, and the Sentence
The investigation found out about Danny's involvement in the murder when the evidence, forensic reports, and even witness testimonies pointed towards him.
He was then charged with multiple felonies for obtaining credit using his identity, making a plan for someone's murder, conspiracy, burglary, involvement in the murder, and a grand theft of $950. His defence was unable to save him from conviction. But the story doesn't end here, as shown on Dateline. In 2023, he faced retrial, but it didn't change his fate for the better.
In April 2025, Garcia was sentenced to life in prison without the ability to get parole. He was given two years more for his additional crimes during his retrial.
At present, Danny Garcia is 43 years old and is serving his time in California State Prison under a high-security facility. Danny was not the only one; the co-conspirator, Kaushal Niroula, was also sentenced to life imprisonment. However, in September 2020, Niroula was strangled to death by her cellmate, Rodney Sanchez, at Riverside County Jail.
Niroula's family then filed a case against the county, accusing them of negligence and failure to protect the lives of the inmates.
