California IN BRIEF : SACRAMENTO : Authorities Urge Killer to Give Up
- Share via
Sheriff’s detectives, warning that “you can’t hide,” appealed to a serial thrill killer who took the lives of six people on two successive Tuesdays to turn himself in before more lives are destroyed. Meanwhile, Gov. Pete Wilson added $50,000 to a reward fund for information leading to the arrest of the killer, boosting the total to $75,000. Investigators “in immense force” were assigned to the north Sacramento neighborhood where the victims were shot to death, execution-style, during robberies on the same night of the week, at the same hour. The first three victims, two clerks and a customer, were slain at a convenience store Feb. 12. A week later, two college students and a 30-year-old woman were gunned down in a pizza parlor.
