Bumping
I was looking for any updates for his trial and was not able to locate any. It still stuns me that he was only out of jail a few days before he kidnapped Michaela. He was apprehended only 8 days out of prison and sent back for 17 months. The items they found in his car are disturbing.
from Wikipedia: He was paroled yet again on November 14, 1988, and immediately returned to Hayward. Just eight days later, he was apprehended by police officers after a routine check of his vehicle led to the discovery of wire cutters, an axe, a large penknife, and a flashlight.
I doubt any of these items were saved to do DNA testing on.
I am hoping that he makes a deal to spare him death row and gives up the location of her body.
