Investigators said that Lopez knew his two victims, an older couple in Denver. According to the arrest affidavit, the couple trusted Lopez because they knew he was a youth pastor. 

Lopez took down payments for the work at the properties the couple owns for his company, Remodeling Specialists LLC. 

Prosecutors claim the work was never done.
