Seems odd that someone didn't report their child missing ? The only reason I can think of, is the killer was that child's parent. Why wouldn't the child's grand parents come forward and ask where their grandchild was ? So sad to think about how any people can't have a child and then there are people who would rather kill them than raise them. There is no punishment good enough for people like that.

Golf course and mimics a movie... hmmm.

On January 8, 1976, the body of 18-year-old Veronica Cascio was discovered in a creek on the grounds of the Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacifica. She had been stabbed 30 times. A transient was arrested but was released for lack of evidence.

A few weeks later, 14-year-old Tatiana Blackwell was reported missing after leaving her home in Pacifica to run an errand. A body, later identified as hers, was discovered off Sharp Park Road in the Gypsy Hills section of the city on June 6. She had also been stabbed multiple times.

Rodney Halbower was charged in the Cascio murder a couple years ago.
