It seems like there's some confusion as to when the body was found, but most sources are saying the victim was killed in '73 but not found until '74.UP10587
Should the title of the thread be changed? Or is this two different victims? One in 73 and one in 74? I’m not familiar with these murders.
Ahhh ok. Thanks for clarifying. I wasn’t prepared to go down that rabbit hole just yet.It seems like there's some confusion as to when the body was found, but most sources are saying the victim was killed in '73 but not found until '74.
He was also found in Pacifica, California. It sounds like he was murdered in San Francisco, but his body wasn't actually found there.
Some of the savagery that came out of the Black Self-Help Moving Company rivaled the baroque barbarity of the Spanish Inquisition. One night a young white man was kidnapped near Ghirardelli Square and taken back to the warehouse loft, where he was stripped naked, tied to a chair, and gagged with a dirty cloth. A line of devil slayers then took turns on him while he screamed into his gag. Using a hideous assortment of instruments - including knives, meat cleavers, and metal cutters - they clipped off parts of his body, starting with his fingers and toes, until he was disassembled like a hog in a butcher's shop.
Anthony Harris, who by then was feeling estranged from his blood mad Black Muslim brothers, was summoned to participate in the depraved ceremony, but he arrived after it was over. "You too late," said Larry Green - a former Berkeley High School basketball star who once dreamed of playing in the NBA, a young man who had kissed his mother every day when he was growing up. "All the fun done though. " Green and the others ordered Harris to dispose of the body, or at least a large chunk of it, which was wrapped in canvas and plastic. Harris drove the grisly package out to Sutro Heights, where he lugged it to the edge of the cliff and heaved it into the sea. It washed up nearby on Ocean Beach on a foggy Christmas Eve morning, where it was discovered by a woman whose dog picked up the deep biological scent.
Once again Earl Sanders had the duty of inspecting the body. The odor hit him first, and then he saw the bundle: it reminded him of the frozen turkeys the department handed out each Christmas. "It was like a fever hit me. I felt dizzy. Like there was no up or down, just gray everywhere I looked - clouds, sea, fog, everything. And right in the middle was this thing that had once been a man."
The body's head, hands, and feet had been chopped off, even its penis and scrotum. A deep hole had been gouged in the stomach, from which spilled ribbons of intestine as the plastic was pealed away. Sanders knew immediately that the same zealous rage that had taken the life of Quita Hague was responsible for the butchery before him. The police had no way of identifying the deconstructed human on the beach. They simply labeled him Unknown Body #169. Some cops called him the Christmas Turkey.
