This is an interesting unsolved triple-homicide in Oakland reported the same time as the Brenda Kaye Merchant murder (RG’s #45).
I found a link via the Albert Brown Mortuary where the murder took place (I used to live a block from here):

The article is from the Lodi News Sentinel on Feb 2, 1974:
Michael Steven Jackson was convicted and sentenced in California State Prison, (he) mentioned that he had the intention to steal formaldehyde vials (presumably to produce LSD?)
