Carlo Grant Troiani was a 37-year-old Marine Staff Sergeant who was murdered on August 10, 1984, in Oceanside, California. Carlo was lured to a remote spot off North River Road, ambushed by five U.S. Marines reportedly recruited by Laura, shot twice (once in the back and once in the neck) and then run over, leaving tire marks on his lower legs.

Investigators say Laura had made two earlier failed attempts on his life — an alleged plan to stab him and an alleged attempt to blow up his car — and that she reported him missing in an apparent cover-up. Laura Troiani was convicted of first-degree murder with special circumstances of murder for hire and lying in wait and was sentenced to life without parole. The case drew attention because of the involvement of multiple Marines and the alleged financial motive.

Does anyone have further information about Carlo’s life or about the remote North River Road area on August 10, 1984?
