The body of a woman found on the side of Highway 152, sexually assaulted, near Gilroy in 1993 has been identified as Patricia Skiple of Oregon.
San Francisco police have doubled the reward to find the 1970s serial killer targeting the gay community known as "The Doodler" to $200,000.Her sister said Patricia was arguing with her husband and left in the middle of the night. She would have been approximately 45-years-old at the time she was killed.In 2006, Keith Hunter Jesperson, known as the"Happy Face Killer," sent a letter to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office admitting to the crime.
In 2007, he pleaded guilty to"killing an unknown female subject along a dirt turnout on Highway 152," per Santa Clara County Sheriff Office. The victim hadn't been identified until this year. "When we first looked at it we thought, 'it's going to be too hard to solve this one, we might not be able to make it happen.' But then thanks to the partnership of that law enforcement agency , they were so helpful and encouraging people to upload to GEDmatch, and that helped us get one step closer and once step closer until we finally found the candidate," said Cairenn Binder, forensic genealogist with the DNA Doe Project.
