Angela Kleinsorge

Leap Day marked 24 years since an 84-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and fatally stabbed in her Morena home — an unsolved murder since.

Angela Kleinsorge was found dead in her Gaines Street home, near Colusa Street, by her daughter on Feb. 29, 1992, police said. Kleinsorge last spoke to her daughter, who regularly checked on her, the night before.

Kleinsorge, a widow who lived alone, had been stabbed in the neck, police said. Evidence indicated that the assailant entered her single-story home through a bedroom window.


San Diego police homicide Lt. Ernie Herbert said in 2013 that physical evidence in the case is re-examined on a regular basis in hopes of finding a suspect match through updated DNA and fingerprint databases.

Authorities ask anyone with information to call San Diego police’s Cold Case Homicide Team at (619) 531-2293 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477.
