Victoria Bell, 41, was murdered in Oakland, California on April 3, 1988. She was last seen near 87th Avenue and International Boulevard and her body was found in an industrial area. She had been raped, bound at the hands and feet, and shot execution-style; her body was then left in a sexually explicit pose.

The case went cold for many years. In 2002 DNA evidence linked William Jennings Choyce, a convicted sex offender, to Bell’s murder and to two other women, Gwendolyn Lee and Lawanda Beck, who were killed in 1997. Choyce was charged in 2005 while already incarcerated; his trial began July 17, 2008, and he was convicted August 11, 2008. The jury recommended death on September 18, 2008, and he was sentenced to death December 15, 2008.

Does anyone have information about Victoria’s last known movements near 87th Avenue and International Boulevard that could shed more light on what happened that day?
