William Suff (b. 20/08/50) is known as the Riverside Prostitute Killer or the Lake Elsinore Killer. He was convicted of killing 12 sex workers in 1995.

I'm writing a piece on William Suff and would be interested in speaking to anyone who lived in the area at the time, or anybody with specific information on William Suff.

Also, does anybody have any information on what dates Suff's victims were found? There seems to be some disparity between media reports, with some saying Jan 1987 and others saying April 19th 1988.

Please get in touch if you can help.

Thank you :)
 
Corona PD may be able to assist. For awhile, my parents thought our neighbor was a suspect. My father gave a tip to local Corona PD since he would run into them from time to time. Corona was fully aware of the case and actually questioned our neighbor and compared his tire tracks.
 
Another victim identified!

So he was sentenced to death 29 years ago and is still sitting on Death Row?!
Oh yeah, this is California. He'll celebrate his 100th birthday before they strap him down for the needle.
 

fwiw​

2011​

Death penalty costs California more than $300m per execution​

New study also shows that average time between conviction and execution is over 25 years – double the US national average

''A 2011 assessment of costs by Judge Arthur Alarcon and Prof. Paula Mitchell, updated in 2012 revealed that, since 1978, California’s current system has cost the state’s taxpayers $4 billion more than a system that has life in prison without the possibility of parole (‘LWOP’) as its most severe penalty.

According to the assessment, the death penalty cost California $1.94 billion in additional pre-trial and trial costs from 1978-2011. The post-trial costs were almost as high- $925 million for automatic appeals and state habeas corpus petitions, and $775 million for federal habeas corpus appeals. Incarceration of death row inmates was also a significant factor, the “adjustment center” of California’s death row at San Quentin State Penitentiary cost an additional $1 billion. The authors calculated that, if the Governor commuted the sentences of those remaining on death row to life without parole, it would result in an immediate savings of $170 million per year, with a savings of $5 billion over the next 20 years.
 
Internet slang phrase for saying something isn't good or is outright bad.

yes but the sentences you quoted ... what are they in reference to?

(> beats 2 month old child to death
> gets sentenced to 70 years
> paroled after 10 years)
