Cheri Jo Bates

Here is the first public viewing of the "External Examination" portion of the autopsy report of this still unsolved murder. A close count of the "lacerations" (which are technically not stab wounds) does not even come close to the Riverside Police Department count of 42!

Doreen Gaul

Note on pages 1, 2 and 3 of the report of how Doreen Gaul was struck six times with a motorcycle chain, five times in the face. (The "pattern wounds.") There had also been six trash can lids symbolically arranged in the alley where her and James Sharp's bodies were found. Bruce Davis owned a motorcycle.
