Has anyone read about Dr. John Trefil? Self admitted serial killer, 1970-1990s. His daughter, Galina, has a Facebook page that contains documents and pictures of her dad's many diaries. He's asking law enforcement to find the remains of his victims. He claims he can tell law enforcement exactly where he buried each of his victims.
*She refers to her father as Jon and John*

My name is Galina. For so many years now, I have lived a double life; carried an impossible secret. This is not a joke. This is the cold reality, which has been strictly on a need-to-know basis. Now everyone needs to know. I am the daughter of a serial killer--a serial killer who knew the identities of two other uncaught serial sex killers, Michael Fries and Julia Strnad Houser. Dr. Jon Charles Trefil, my father, has admitted for almost a decade, giving a consistent story, to being a serial killer ON TAPE, graphically. FBPD, the Sheriff's Department, the Mendocino County DA's Office, they are all aware of his confessions. This is the secret that the authorities in Mendocino County are not sharing with the public. At this point, Jon is 86 years old. He's admitted to being a serial killer to roughly over a dozen people. He's asked repeatedly if only someone, some authority, would take him back to the dump sites where he put the bodies. He's promised that he will point to where the bodies are if police will only take him. They haven't been willing to do so, and he's remained, while bedridden, still free. He wants to tell his story. He actually wants to go public with his crimes. He's given his blessing for me to do so in his stead. Though, at times, he's also promised to fake being crazy if he's actually arrested. I, his daughter, have been asked by law enforcement how old he is, and I respond to them, "Well, he's almost a decade older than when I first contacted law enforcement." I have devoted my life to bringing Jon to justice. At this point, the DA's office has dozens of hours of him discussing his murders in intense detail. How he kidnapped. Who he kidnapped. How he kept victims prisoner, sometimes for weeks at a time before killing them. How he tortured. How he killed. Though he said that he began killing in the 1950s, he only really made it a habit from the summer of 1965 to approximately 1999. From 1965 onward, he admitted to murdering one person, give or take, per month. Female, male, old, young, and couples. The states involved are Illinois, California, Virginia, Oregon, and Idaho. The outside countries are Canada, France, the Netherlands, and along the Mexican boarder. Most killings occurred in California, with the specified counties being San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma, and one unidentified county that shares the Northern Mendocino border. The fact that he's 86 should not matter in this case. There is no statute of limitations on murder, and most importantly he can give closure by saying where the bodies. He murdered my grandfather and laughed about killing two of my great-grandparents. He murdered multiple other people that, as a small child, I met back in the early 1980s. When I realized that he was a serial killer in January of 2012, I knew that he'd gone under the radar. If I let it happen, he would probably never be caught. Instead, I decided to devote the next 13 years of my life to building a case for the prosecution, so that the families of the dead could have the justice that they so deserve. The families deserve the opportunity to bury their daughters and sons; the opportunity while my father is still alive that they may stand in a courtroom and give an impact statement. I have contacted every jurisdiction wherein Jon admitted to murder. I have spoken to and given lengthy interviews with law enforcement over 40 times. I have provided DNA samples to law enforcement. At great personal physical risk, I retrieved my father's diaries, wherein he discusses some of the murders. To date, law enforcement hasn't even been willing to read those diaries. I got two of the murder weapons, including a vial of strychnine that Jon used to keep in his medical bag. No one's been willing to take it into custody. Last year, I was able to convince my father to cough up a few of the specific gravesite locations. The bodies of undiscovered victims are located at several places on "13 Curves" on HWY 20--mainly between the 4.5 to 5 mile marker. Also on the Comptche-Ukiah Road, Jon's Albion property, and at a murder cabin in Comptche. He's acknowledged two other murder cabins, located in Westport and Boonville. I asked law enforcement to put a wire on me. To date, they have not been willing to put a wire on me. I have been told that other, more recent cases, take precedent over cold cases. They took Jon's DNA, but have not been willing to put it, or my own volunteered DNA, into CODIS. Over the years, I built a posse, consisting mainly of seven key people, with an additional dozen or so helpers, who have also devoted themselves to bringing Jon Trefil to justice. Pure warriors, and the strain has weighed in on all of them. The time has come to go public though. I am asking the Mendocino County community for help. My father has repeatedly said that there were many victims who actually got away, some of whom were his patients. Hitchhikers, mostly picked up from the Willits junction, and tourists, were his main victims in Mendocino County, he said. He knew that they wouldn't be missed. IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO THE MENDOCINO COUNTY AUTHORITIES. I'm afraid that, given the lack of DNA analysis, this case absolutely will not be solved without the other surviving victims being willing to come forward. Thank you.
