Does anyone know if this case was ever solved?
On Tuesday, September 5, 1972, the bludgeoned body of Joan Alexandra Gery was found in a van parked in the basement parking area of an office building located at 3344 MacArthur Boulevard, Oakland. The van was described in an article as a 1961 model. When found, her body was on the cab floor of the vehicle. Gery was nude, on her back, bands bound behind her body with a cloth belt. Her face and head showed evidence of having been repeatedly struck with a blunt object. She was covered by an Indian blanket. Cause of death was reported by the local press as "shock and hemorage [sic] due to a blunt trauma." Gery was described as a "part-time student, part-time cocktail waitress" who had recently moved to Oakland. Her residence was listed as 216 Frisbie Street, Oakland.
Robert Graysmith lists Joan Alexandra Gery (surname misspelled as Clery in book) as the #30 victim in his first Zodiac book. (modsnip)
