Santa Ana Register, Feb. 9, 1976

The following article concerns unsolved murders in Orange County in 1975, and also mentions some from 1974 and 1976. One such case is the murder of Beverly D. Stapp.

Other 1975 cases mentioned here that I intend to investigate further, including determining the case status, are those of Maria Guadalupe McClelland, Junior Kelly Alvarez, Luis Jimenez Garcia, Lawrence Wheelock, Donna Rae Gooddell, James R. Perry, and an unidentified murder victim found in Laguna Hills in October 1975. Those of 1974 are Shirley Ann Grillet, Gary Thomas Ratzlaff, Adela Dorothy Bonilla, Marc Thomas Dewdney, and Charlene Robertson. 

The murder of Patricia Ann Ross has since been solved, as have those of four young men also mentioned in the article: John Williams Leras, Mark Howard Hall, James Dale Reeves, and Roger Dickerson (unnamed in article, instead only referred to as an "18-year-old Camp Pendleton Marine [...] found near Laguna Beach"), as well as the other victims found in Orange, LA, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties since 1972 alluded to on the first page of the article, were victims of serial killer Randy Kraft.
