June 2 1986 Murder of Halley Wing



The suspects were described as one tall thin blond male and one male with dark bushy hair, both in their late teens or early 20s, driving a dark blue Ford Pinto with a primer door. Missing from Vern Wing’s home were 3 jewelry boxes, two class rings, a Sears VCR and 4 collectable firearms. 30 years after the murder, El Dorado County finally released the photos and information about the rare weapons stolen during the burglary. Halley Wing was a retired Folsom Prison Guard who was 76 yrs old when he was gunned down in his son Vern’s driveway. He was killed on Vern Wing’s 49th birthday.

Was Halley Wing murdered by the Golden State Killer? The hair-trigger finger on Wing’s killer is consistent with the GSK’s tendency to shoot first, ask questions later. The GSK had a propensity for escalating to extreme violence in a flash as seen in the shootings of Rodney Miller, Detective McGowan, Claude Snelling and Brian & Katie Maggiore. Wing’s shooter exhibits the same behavior. The scenario in which he was killed, where a victim interrupts a burglary in progress and is followed back to their car and shot through the passenger side, is identical to the one posited in the murder of 2 PG&E employees William Harrington & Carla Burkart on Auburn-Folsom Rd in March 1977.

Although the suspect descriptions of Halley Wing’s killers give the age as late teens early 20s, Bernice Wing was watching from a distance away through binoculars. Is it possible the burglars were older than she thought? Did the GSK still have a baby face in 1986 that made him look younger than he really was?

The stolen firearms, class rings and jewelry boxes were items favored by the GSK throughout his criminal career. When the Golden State Killer ceased to be a police officer did he become a full time burglar? The GSK offended in clusters, often returning to the same block for decades to prowl, steal, ransack or attack. The offender also worked in sprees, burglarizing multiple locations or attacking more than one victim in a single night and often struck on consecutive dates. During 1986 there were many rural home burglaries throughout El Dorado County where shotguns, rifles, VCRs and jewelry were stolen. It appears that the serial killer was dumping bodies in rural areas of El Dorado County throughout his long career, so was he ransacking rural homes and stealing old shotguns, rifles, jewelry and VCRs?

POLLOCK PINES On Thurs- day a burglar apparently decided he was tired of his old shoes, so he decided to trade them in for about 15 pair of men’s and ladies’ shoes belonging to Edward Williams and his wife who live on Buttercup Drive in Pollock Pines. The burglar left his old shoes behind. The thief apparently needed a few hats, too, so he helped himself to eight baseball caps. An El Dorado County Sheriff’s report indicated the burglary may have been interrupted by neighbors or the A clarinet and television were found out of place, apparently abandoned when the burglar fled. Why the burglar would steal the shoes but leave the television was a mystery to Williams. “It’s he told the Mountain Democrat, “I don’t understand why he would take shoes.” Williams said he didn’t know whether he and the burglar wear the same shoe size. He didn’t try on the sandals the burglar left behind. Williams doesn’t even get to keep them, because they were booked as evidence at the sheriff’s office. Williams said some of the stolen footwear included base- ball and basketball shoes and cowboy boots

Coloma lodge victim again EDITOR: On April 3 of this year, Coloma Lodge 27 was burglarized again.

They also took the ham and sausage we planned for our next breakfast. Three years ago they took our old-fashioned officer chairs, grandfather wall clock, old-fashioned oil lamps, degree pictures and brass spittoon. This has just about cleaned us out of our treasures. We are hoping all Odd Fellows and Rebekahs will be on the lookout for these items as we are sure they will turn up either in yard sales or antique shops and any bit of information concerning these items will be greatly appreciated.

March 11 1987 Mountain Democrat

Unsolved murders list grows

Editor’s note: Most of this story ran originally in April 1984. As a result of the articile, within two weeks, the Sheriff’s Department had received a tip that led to iden- tifying a woman whose body was found in Slab Creek Reservoir; she had remained unidentified for two years until the anonymuus tip was received. The most recent un- solved murders those that oc- curred in the past three years added in this story. Anyone with information that may help in- vestigators with the following cases may call Sgt. Bill Wilson at 626-2211.

By PAT LAKEY City editor You can almost hoar voices call- ing from the pages of the unsolved murder cases at the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department. They cry out for justice that has been left undone. Their killers have not been found. The cases range from murders committed for what appear to be drug-related reasons, to sex-re- lated slayings, to killing for mone- tary gain. Some of the cases present no plausible motive. Two of the unsolved murder cases on file involve victims who never have been identified. Most of the victims are women. Out of 21 unsolved murder cases examined by the Mountain Democrat, nine involved male victims, 12 were women. The oldest case dates back to 1971. The most recent unsolved murders occurred in 1986: the bludgeoning death of 71-year-old Karl Nordell in May 1986, who was found dead at his home on Cosens Lane off Oak Hill Road in the Hanks Exchange area; and the”Maybe she surprised an intruder in the home, but we’re not sure that was the Sgt. Wilson said. Blasy’s body was discovered by her 7-year-old son when he came home from school in the af- ternoon. She had been shot three times in the head with a small-cal- iber weapon. A neighbor about a quarter-mile away later told detectives she had heard three gun- shots about a.m. The neighbor said she thought little of it at the time because gunshots were not infrequent in the area. The unsolved murder of a wife and mother is an uncomfortably harsh fact to face for most El Dorado County residents. So is the unsolved murder of a 69-year-old widow who was bludgeoned to death as she returned from church to her home in Cool in January 1983. Although the family of Jenny Annice Sperinde and several orga- nizations have offered a total 000 reward for information leading to the arrest of her killer, no suspects have been found. “We haven’t gotten any phone calls or other information on that case since the reward was an- nounced it hasn’t led to any- thing Wilson said. “Mrs. Sperinde had several acquaintances, but we’ve found in our in- vestigation that she wasn’t particularly close to anyone.” Although the victim’s purse was missing, Wilson doesn’t favor robbery being the motive in the Sperinde case. The widow’s home was not burglarized nor was her vehicle stolen. “I have a feeling whoever killed her was someone who knew Wilson said. “It’s just a feeling I have.” The detective added that he has not given up hoping the case will be solved, but he would not say what provided his opti- mism. “I can’t give away all my se- he said. Wilson’s hunches after 23 years as a law enforcement officer won’t let him mark “closed” on another murder case a 16-year- old Sacramento girl was brutally murdered and left partially buried off Salmon Falls Road about five miles north of El Dorado Hills in May 1981. Although family mem- bers of Jenny Clare Campbell re- portedly are convinced that convicted James Leslie Karis killed Campbell, Ka- ris never was charged with the homicide. “I thought that case had been solved when we arrested Karis (on another murder case) just after Campbell was Wilson said. Campbell reportedly left her boyfriend’s apartment in Sacra- mento after they argued and last was seen hitchhiking toward Sac- ramento, according to her boyf- riend’s account to investigators. Her nude body was found the same day by two fishermen. She had been beaten to death with a rock, detectives reported at the time. Sgt. Wilson remains unconvined of a theory held by some that con- victed sex-slave killer Gerald Gal- lego is the one who beat to death two teenage girls whose remains were found in a secluded ravine near Latrobe in December 1977. Linda Kuykendall and Christine Riley were believed to be hitchhik- ing in east Sacramento County in August 1977 when they last were seen alive. Their remains were found four months later by a pho- tographer hiking in a remote area a mile north of the community of Latrobe. Investigators at the time said the girls, ages 15 and 16, died as a result of blows to the head. Offi- cers speculated the weapon was a rock. Although the killings had simila- rities to Gallego’s modus oper- and the time period coincided with other similar mur- ders attributed to Gallego, Wilson said he thinks a man who now is may have killed the girls. “I haven’t been convinced that they’re Gallego’s Wil- son said. “In investigating the case I came across a guy who, if I remember right, lived up in Idaho. He committed suicide after a war- rant was issued for his arrest for killing two teenage girls in cir- cumstances almost identical to the Kuykendall and Riley case.” Wilson said he made a trip to talk with the man’s widow, and she indicated her late husband in no way could have killed Kuyken- dall and Riley. “But I knew he had lived in Sac- ramento at the time, and that he drove a vehicle similar to the one the girls were seen getting Wilson said. “The crime elements were the same in many respects, even to the clothing of the victims being neatly folded.” Wilson added that the Idaho sus- pect was caught in the act of try- ing to dispose of tires from his vehicle after it was learned that tire tracks had been found at the scene of the murder of two other girls. That led to the arrest war- rant, he said. “I feel that when the guy com- mitted suicide it cleared this case (Kuykendall, but that’s not substantial enough to write it Wilson said. So the case remains open. Also in the active files are two cases involving the rape and mur- der of young Sacramento-area women who last were seen hitch- hiking from Sacramento. One case occurred in June 1971, the other two years later. Elizabeth Marie Cloer, 21, was found dead in the South Cameron Park area at a time when the area was not developed as it is now. Her head had been crushed with a rock and she had been shot. She had been raped. In March Susan Gail McLaughlin’s body was found 100 yards north of Highway 50 near Kyburz. She had been raped and stabbed through the heart. McLaughlin’s backpack was discovered at a campground some 15 miles from the body, but detectives found no solid clues to identify her killer. Sexual motives often are in- volved in homicides, but the vic- tims are not always women. Jerry Lee Difuntorum was found Dec. 29, 1978, buried off Salmon Falls Road. The body was uncovered by workmen who were digging percolation holes in the Indian Creek subdivision. Difuntorum, a homosexual, last was seen dressed in women’s clothing complete with necklace, earrings, bracelets, bra, falsies and panties, according to his friends in Sacramento who last saw Difuntorum alive.
