The State - News from April 7, 1987

A teen-age girl who survived hours of sexual assault and torture in a vacant Hillsborough mansion testified that she sat handcuffed to a bench as she listened to the screams of her dying friend. “I heard Jeanine screaming,” Laurie McKenna told a Santa Clara County Superior Court jury. “Then I heard a dragging noise,” she said, as her friend’s body was dragged up a stairs. McKenna, now 19, appeared calm and unafraid as she testified against David Allen Raley, 25, charged with attacking McKenna and killing her friend, Jeanine Grinsell, 16, on Feb. 2, 1985. McKenna recounted the details of the ordeal, which began when the two girls decided to visit the historic Carolands Chateau in Hillsborough, a posh San Francisco suburb where Raley was a security guard. After Raley led them on a tour, he allegedly locked them in a vault before beginning a series of assaults that led to the death of Grinsell.
