In April, Nick Prugo was sentenced to two years in state prison. But he was released within days, as his sentence was cut in half for good behavior and work credits, since he had already served some time behind bars when he failed to post bail. Prugo, 22, told The Times he has received numerous interview requests, but is not speaking to anyone about his life post-prison.

The most mysterious member of the Bling Ring is Rachel Lee, long believed to be the ringleader of the crime spree. In 2011, she was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading no contest to burglarizing the Hollywood Hills home of Audrina Patridge, at the time a reality star on MTV's 'The Hills.' In prison, Lee was allowed to work in a special program known as Fire Camp, where she and other inmates trained to help suppress fires and help after emergencies like floods or earthquakes. Now 23, she was released on parole in March after serving roughly one year and four months. She did not respond to interview requests from The Times.

The Los Angeles Police Department detective who helped crack the Bling Ring case made headlines last year when The Times revealed that he served as a consultant on Sofia Coppola¿s film. For $12,500, he advised the filmmaker on the realities of arresting a suspect, and in a surprise turn agreed to play himself in one scene - slapping the cuffs on Watson's character. But Goodkin didn¿t get permission from the LAPD to work on the movie. He also didn¿t inform the district attorney's office about his role - a potential conflict of interest, since at the time of production last year, Ames, Tamayo and Lopez were all still awaiting trial. Upon learning of Goodkin's actions, the LAPD launched an internal affairs investigation. He now faces possible termination; in April, he was ordered to go in front of a disciplinary panel that will soon rule on the results of the inquiry.
