KCSO Packet #2 of CA Victims, c.July 1974

These summaries of Californian female homicides were sent to the King County Sheriff's Office likely around July 1974. This file was sourced from pg.s 111-136 of Box 25, Folder 11, "924-25-11 California Criminal Intelligence" of the King County Archives' Dropbox. The original physical folder that contained these files referred to them as "Another packet," hence my naming it "Packet #2." A full explanation of the source of these files can be found here. 

Prior to being uploaded to Dropbox, these files were partially redacted by King County officials in accordance with laws regarding what can or cannot be disclosed when responding to a public records requests. This blog post contains copies I have made that have been edited from the originals, with notes regarding the contents of redacted information. I have determined the contents of said redacted information — primarily victim names — based on date, age, location, etc. All text in Helvetica/Arial/etc font is my work, and is representative of what I strongly believe to be the original contents of the files.
