SAN DIEGO — On the evening of September 1, 1979 was a typical, warm Saturday in Pacific Beach.
Hazel Sullivant, 55, took a bath and was putting lotion on when her husband called her into the living room.
Fred Sullivant, 65, was sitting against the couch. Standing just behind his left shoulder was a man with a handgun, according to her witness statement.
Investigators believe two suspects, a man and a woman in their late twenties, entered the Sullivant's home to rob them.
That robbery turned into a "brutal" beating, killing Fred.
According to the witness statement, the couple was bound, hog-tied, and had their eyes taped shut.
Hazel eventually escaped after the suspects left.
