Then i apologize to you sir.

I do find it interesting that Zodiac mentioned in his letter murdering the kids by the "golf course" and that the Gypsey Hill Murderer Rodney Halbower left one of his victims at a golf course. I suppose this is not a huge earth shaking coincidence, but it has always been stuck in the back of my head.

A friend of Ronnie Cascio’s brings up some interesting POIs, two in particular that creeped her out when she worked at the golf course:

Ronnie Cascio was my friend. I have been haunted by her death pretty much my whole life. And now I have found your overview of the Gypsy Hill Murders. My gosh, I didn’t know so many had died. And I lived right in the middle of it all.

I so would like to tell you about myself and what I know. I was 16 years old when Ronnie was killed. We went to Thornton High School in Daly City together. I had everything in common with all the girls killed. I had long brown hair parted in the middle. I started off working at the golf course as a waitress in the coffee shop there. One day, two men came into the shop. One was very good looking with brown hair sort of feathered on the sides. He was wearing a long brown or black leather coat and what I call a "disco danny" sort of shirt opened down a few buttons with a couple of gold chains around his neck. The other man was older maybe and had a very stocky build. They did not fit in at all with the golf crowd. The younger man came up to me at the counter and asked for change to make a phone call. He looked at me like he wanted to eat me for lunch. I thought he was flirting with me. (What did I know at 16) I gave him the change, probably blushing. And they left.

I never told anyone about this because I didn’t connect it to Ronnie’s death. I was pretty clueless at 16. But for years I have thought back about that encounter with these men and have even tried to call the Pacifica police and the newspaper to tell someone. The Pacifica police have never called me back and even though I did hear back from a Ms. Larsen from the Pacifica Tribune nothing ever came of it.

The scary thing is I went on to work at Serramonte Shopping Center where one of the other girls was found. I lived right around the corner from the 7-11 store on Mannor drive for most of my young years where Tanya Blackwell disappeared from. All us kids hung out in the golf course having bon fires there and partying. And I always went to Kaiser Permanente Hospital for healthcare. When I was 20 I moved to Santa Rosa.

During those early years I didn’t drive and walked everywhere. I had been approached by men in cars that flashed me several times and I started carrying a large butcher knife with me. I remember the last time I had this happen near Pacifica I was walking to work to Serramonte Shopping Center through the skyline area and a man pulled over next to me. I was so used to this happening that before he could do anything I pulled out this big butcher knife and showed it to him and he took off! That was the last time this happened to me until I moved to Santa Rosa.

I thought I was safer there in Santa Rosa and stopped carrying the knife. Wouldn’t you know some guy pulled over in his car in Santa Rosa and tried to get me to approach his car to ask for a cigarette with his window down and I said I didn’t smoke he took off and then within a week the same guy pulled over next to me while I was walking and opened the car door and asked again if I had a cigarette and this time I yelled at him I DON"T SMOKE! And he took off. It was VERY ODD. I have had a feeling all these years that I dodged a very dangerous situation, more than once.

Sorry this is so long, but I see that your post has been a recent one and I’m hoping still that SOMEDAY, someone will resolve these murders. My friend Ronnie deserves that much. She was a beautiful person, and loved by her family as was the other girls. If anyone knows where she is buried please let me know. I would like to bring flowers to her grave. And if anyone knows where any of her family might be please let me know as I would like to invite them to contact me so I can offer a personal condolence. My e-mail address is myjoyinparadise@live.com

And if anyone knows where her best friend Linda Baird might be, please contact me as well.

Thank you for reading this.
