I noticed that the 1976 El Segundo High School yearbook was recently added to Classmates.com, and includes a photo of John Lamay, the final victim of serial killer Patrick Wayne Kearney.
I am starting this thread because I knew John Lamay, and played on the same Pop-Warner football team as his brother Joe. John's mother and my mother are regular attendees of the same church.
Patrick Kearney
Kearney pled guilty to 21 murders, though he admitted to killing 35 young men. Juan Corona is the only serial killer in the state of California who has been convicted of killing more victims. William Bonin was also convicted of 21 murders.
John Lamay is mentioned prominently in most of the accounts of the Trash Bag Murders, since it was his disappearance that lead authorities to Kearney and his partner David Hill. Lamay's dismembered body was later found in a highway rest stop in Corona CA. AFAIK, his head was never found.
Hill was subsequently cleared of any involvement in the murders.
Here are a few articles on the Trash Bag Murders.
