San Francisco Examiner, Jan. 23, 1980

The following article details every murder in San Francisco in 1979 that had not been solved by the end of that year.

Relevant cases mentioned here are those of Andy Drath (#15 in the list, identified in 2015) and Idella Wilson. Others that I plan to look into are those of John Stringer, George Wright, Trevor Daly & William Kruth, Walter Swift, Jennifer Collins, Billy Forzetting, Joe Perez, Chris Pirsig, Roy Ledford, Linda Harmon, and Terry Metz.

The murder of Laura Ellen Wright Stanton was solved in 2004. Furthermore, in 2010 the murder of Mary Frances Bennett was conclusively linked through DNA to David Carpenter, the Trailside Killer.
