Jon Charles Hellyar, 30, was murdered on January 12, 1983, in Santa Rosa, California. During the trip Suzan Carson allegedly accused Hellyar of being a witch; the vehicle was forced to stop on U.S. Route 101 and both attackers assaulted him. Suzan reportedly stabbed Hellyar and Michael shot him twice in the head; a passing motorist witnessed the attack and alerted police, triggering a high-speed chase that ended in the Carsons’ arrest.

The Carsons later admitted to Hellyar’s murder along with two other killings, saying they believed their victims were witches. They were charged and convicted in separate trials and received lengthy prison terms. Michael Carson was denied parole in 2020 and Suzan Carson was denied parole in 2015.

Did anyone who knew Jon Hellyar or who was driving U.S. Route 101 that day see or hear anything that could add detail to the timeline?
