On July 15, 1986, 19-year-old Scott Sterger of Sacramento was killed during a violent attack at a rural home in Wilton, southern Sacramento County. Scott was at the home of his father, Ray Sterger, where Ray’s girlfriend, 26-year-old Vikki Hahne, was also present. The assailant, 36-year-old Ronnie Solida of Hutchinson, Kansas, entered the residence armed with three semiautomatic weapons and fatally shot Scott and Hahne. Ray Sterger was wounded in the lung, face, and knee.

Solida had a prior criminal record that included convictions for burglary, arson, and weapons possession, and was a suspect in other killings in multiple states. Detectives later found blasting caps in a Stockton motel room where Solida had stayed; guns, ammunition, explosives, cash, and a bomb-making manual were recovered from his car near the Sterger home. The attack ended when Ray Sterger’s 14-year-old son, Jeremy, shot and killed Solida while defending the family. No charges were filed against Jeremy or Ray Sterger on the basis that their actions were considered self-defense.

Was anyone in the Wilton or Sacramento area aware of prior threats against Hahne or the Sterger family before July 15, 1986?
