As Mitchell Bacom was sentenced to life for the 1980 murder and kidnapping of 14-year-old Suzanne Bombardier, a prosecutor brought up allegations that he'd also murdered multiple women while working as a cross-country truck driver.
Before a California man was sentenced to life for the 1980 murder of a 14-year-old babysitter, prosecutors suggested that he may have killed other women.
Mitchell Lynn Bacom, 68, was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole on Monday for the 1980 kidnapping and murder of Suzanne Bombardier, the Bay Area News Group reports.
Bombardier was babysitting her older sister Stephanie Mullen’s kids when she was kidnapped. Her body was found four days later floating along the Antioch River. She had been raped her and stabbed once in the chest.
Bacom, whom Mullen had dated briefly at one point, was arrested in 2017 after DNA linked him to her death. He'd been questioned in the 1980 investigation; he would have been 27 at the time.
"Justice was finally done for Suzanne Bombardier,” Jennifer Kathleen Gibbons, who was credited with assisting in a break in the case in 2017 and is currently working on a book about it, told Oxygen.com on Monday. “Now I hope the DA looks into the new accusations that Bacom killed sex workers while working as a truck driver — especially the cold cases of sex workers Valerie Schultz, Rachael Cruise, Jessica Frederick. I also hope they look at the cold case of Lisa Norell, who died around the same time."
"Miracles can happen when people care," she added.
