Victim: Georgia Haggai

Date: March 31, 1986

Address: 9900 Dichondra Court

Synopsis: Georgia Haggai was shot to death when she answered her front door just before dawn on March 31, 1986.

Neighbors phoned police after they were awakened by gunshots at about 5 a.m.  Officers arrived to find Haggai lying in her entryway, clad in a robe and dead from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and upper body.  Haggai’s front door was standing open and the screen door was shut but unlocked.  There were no signs of forced entry into the house and no signs of a struggle.

A neighbor saw a single suspect running away from Haggai’s residence immediately after the gunfire.  The suspect disappeared down the street, and another neighbor then heard the screeching tires of a car speeding away.  The suspect was never identified.

Detectives believe that Haggai must have known her assailant because she was very security conscious.

Haggai was a prominent and successful San Diego businesswoman.  She was the owner and president of Georgia’s Inc., a temporary personnel service for bookkeepers and accountants.  She was also a physical fitness enthusiast and was actively involved in her community, particularly as a member of the Soroptimists.

Victim: Ed LeDuc

Date: May 14, 1986

Address: 3131 Berger Avenue

Synopsis: In 1985 and 1986, a series of commercial burglaries kept law enforcement officials busy throughout the San Diego area.  The burglars worked in groups, breaking windows with rocks to gain entry to office buildings and taking valuable office equipment such as IBM Selectric typewriters. 

On May 14, 1986 at about 6:10 a.m., Ed LeDuc, an unarmed Sharp Hospital security officer, was checking the corporate office building at 3131 Berger Avenue when he apparently interrupted one of these burglaries in progress.  The suspects attacked LeDuc and clubbed him to death with an antique rifle removed from one of the offices.  The suspects then fled, leaving behind several IBM Selectric typewriters stacked just inside a door leading to the parking lot.

Victim: Linda Younger

Date: June 27, 1986

Address: 1900 San Diego Avenue

Synopsis: Linda Younger worked as a cab driver for Yellow Cab.  On June 27, 1986, shortly after midnight, a supervisor for the Yellow Cab Company responded to an address in Old Town to check a citizen’s complaint of an unattended cab parked at the curb with its lights shining into a window.  The supervisor arrived there and found Younger, who had been shot to death while sitting in the front seat of her cab.  The motive for the shooting was presumed to be either robbery or attempted robbery.  Detectives noted that Younger was shot while sitting in the front passenger seat of her cab, not in the driver’s seat where she would normally sit to operate the cab. This case may be related to the murder of cab driver Sharyn Kamrath which occurred one month later on July 29, 1986.

Synopsis: Gonzalo Herrera Montañez is wanted for the murder of Maria Hanbury that occurred at 1804 Lonja Way on March 22, 1990.  There is an outstanding felony arrest warrant charging Montañez with murder.

Victims: Castro Estoban & Rafael Sanchez

Date: June 12, 1990

Address: State Highway 78, West of Marker # 27

Synopsis: On June 12, 1990, at about 10 p.m., a park ranger driving along State Route 78 enroute to his job at the Wild Animal Park noticed what he believed to be a woman walking along the side of the roadway in an apparent “dazed” state.  The ranger continued on and reported to work, but about four hours later he had an opportunity to return to the area to check on the woman, at which time he found her again in the same location as before, but this time sitting slumped on the edge of the highway unresponsive and bleeding from a head wound.  The guard summoned help and the woman was taken via ambulance to Palomar Medical Center, where it was discovered that the woman was actually a man dressed in female attire, and that he had suffered a single gunshot wound to the head.  The victim never regained consciousness and died later in the day.  Relatives identified the deceased man as Rafael Sanchez.

Meanwhile, that same morning at about 7 a.m., a truck driver traveling along the same area of Highway 78 spotted a second victim; the body of what appeared to be a woman on the shoulder of the road, about 50 yards away from where the first victim had been found.  The truck driver flagged down a passing San Diego Sheriff’s Department unit who checked and determined the victim was in fact deceased, having been killed by a single gunshot wound to the head.  This victim, like the first one, was actually a man dressed in female attire.  He was later identified as Castro Estoban.

Estoban and Sanchez were transvestites who worked as prostitutes.  Sanchez frequented several bars in Escondido, in particular the Pastime Club on West Grand Avenue, where he was known as “Blanca.”  Estoban, aka “Cinthia,” had recently arrived in the Escondido area. Each had been killed with a single gunshot (.22 long rifle bullets) to the head.  Detectives believe the victims were shot somewhere else, possibly in a vehicle, and their bodies dumped at the location.  The motive for the slayings is unknown.

Sanchez was last been seen alive at about 9:00 p.m. when he stopped by a friend’s house on Lincoln Avenue to borrow twenty dollars.  Sanchez intended to walk over the bridge across Highway 78 to the Lucky Advantage Supermarket to buy some fruits and sandwiches.

No motive for these slayings has ever been determined.
