A man who shot his mother and uncle to death and kept their bodies in a bedroom for two years before burying them in the crawl space of his San Mateo County home was sentenced to at least 16 years in prison. San Mateo County Superior Court Judge John J. Bible imposed the sentence on Robert Walker Black, 54, who was convicted in April of the October, 1980, killings of his mother, Agnes, 74, and his uncle, Isaac Black, 72. The two bodies were not discovered until June, 1984, after police received a tip from Robert Black’s former wife, Leonor.
