The State - News from April 20, 1986

John Phillip Bunyard, who became known as the “Nob Hill Rapist” after murdering two women and assaulting several others, has been paroled from the California Men’s Colony at San Luis Obispo after serving 13 years of a maximum life sentence. Prison officials said Bunyard, 40, was a model inmate who earned enough good behavior credits to obtain a fixed release date. The San Francisco police inspector who helped convict Bunyard in 1973 called the parole “extremely disturbing.”
