Pearce was sentenced to a total of 146 years in prison for his crimes, but Craven was not there to see it.
The police officer from La Mesa, Calif., was struck and killed by a vehicle last week while rushing to aid people trapped in a car that had flipped over on the highway.
LA prosecutors made the stunning revelation after a a Superior Court judge handed Pearce sentences for a string of sexual assaults and two murder charges.Craven died on October 23, less than a month after her 25th birthday.
Her heroic sacrifice had already made headlines even before the public knew she was involved in Pearce’s case.
She came upon a deadly rollover crash on Interstate 8 northeast of San Diego just before 10:30 p.m. last Monday, officials said.
She reported the incident over the radio before stepping out and walking toward a car that had flipped over.
Craven was struck by another car, which triggered a chain reaction, smashing into the vehicles involved in the initial crash.
The young police officer, who had celebrated her birthday on Oct. 7, was remembered for her final act of compassion.
“Officer Craven’s actions in her final moments exemplified her unwavering dedication to service and the safety of others — a reflection of how she lived every day,” the La Mesa Police Department wrote on Facebook.
Craven had been identified only as “Jane Doe #5” during Pearce’s trial, where he faced justice not only for the fatal druggings of Christy Giles, 24, and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola, 26, but also seven rape victims who came forward after his arrest.
