The first killing was a Union City woman in her home in 1980. The second was a woman whose body was found in some bushes beside Interstate 780 in Vallejo in 1996.
Officials say Bay Area CEO John Kevin Woodward is charged with the murder of his roommate's girlfriend, Laurie Houts, in Mountain View in 1992."They just came in swarms. There were trucks and sheriffs. They were in full suits and it was very scary," Siders said."This is a family household and I have a lot of children. They frequently play in the neighborhood and wave at this man," Siders said.
But it's not just Gary's arrest that bothers Siders, but also the extent of what he's alleged to have done. Thanks to DNA evidence compiled over a series of decades, as well as modern technology, several Bay Area and state law enforcement agencies have been able to link Gary to unsolved murders and other crimes going back more than 40 years."Forensic analysis, DNA analysis, all those things were, you know, very, very premature at that time. They were in their infancy," said Union City Police Sergeant Brandon Hayward.
