Castro Killer Expands His Range. Teens found Dead in Bernal Heights

Police found the bodies of Stacy Smith, age seventeen, and Davie Jones, age eighteen, this morning between Bocanna & Bennington Streets in Bernal Heights. The pair had been seen earlier in the night drinking at the Stray Bar, a neighborhood hangout.

Both were in possession of fake driver’s licenses.

Both, according to witnesses, had been seen leaving the bar at around 1:00 am.

The bodies had been drained of blood.

“This is very disturbing,” said Officer Johnson of SFPD. “These kids appear to have been murdered in the same way as the Castro Street killings, but these kids were not gay.”

Could this be a copycat killer, or has the Castro Killer expanded his range?
