Sandra Ann Lee Neary was 32 when she left her Costa Mesa home on October 11, 1986 to withdraw cash from an ATM and never returned. Her husband Stephan and their young daughter waited at home; her body was found by hikers on October 24, 1986 in Corona, Riverside County.

Investigators determined Sandra had been abducted and murdered. James Gregory Marlow and Cynthia Lynn Coffman were arrested, tried and found guilty for Sandra’s murder and other killings. On August 30, 1989, both were convicted in Sandra’s case and sentenced to death; later proceedings in 1992 produced additional convictions against them.

Sandra’s death devastated her family and became part of the wider investigation into the killing spree that claimed at least four young women within a month. If anyone knew Sandra, her routine, or saw her on October 11, 1986, please share what might help clarify her last movements.
