A 70-year-old serial killer on death row for the murders of a dozen women has confessed to the 1986 murder of a 19-year-old mother of two after his DNA was found on her clothing.
A serial killer convicted of the murders of 12 women has confessed to the cold case murder of a 19-year-old mother in Southern California in 1986. Cathy Small, 19, was found stabbed to death on a street in South Pasadena in February 1986, but her case went unsolved for nearly four decades. 'We believe we’re bringing a sense of long overdue justice and closure to the victim and her family,' Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said in a press conference this week.
Amongst everything else we’re talking about today, you always got to remember when we’re talking about something as significant as this, we’re talking about a victim who lost her life and the family who will never forget that. And I know we never forget that, and that’s what makes the teamwork here so amazing.' Thomas also read a letter written by Small’s younger sister, who was 10 at the time of her murder but couldn’t be at the news conference because she lives out of state.
