Janell Charlotte Jarvis was 14 when she and her mother, Donna Eckard, were found shot to death in their Mountain Gate home just off Interstate 5 on February 3, 1981. Both victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds described as execution-style killings.

Investigators linked the scene to a series of killings, robberies and assaults along a 500-mile stretch of highway in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. Bullets recovered from Janell and Donna’s home were reportedly fired from the same .22-caliber gun tied to those crimes. Attention focused on Randall Brent Woodfield, a former college football player who became a suspect in the I-5 cases and was later charged with multiple crimes including murder, attempted murder and sodomy; he maintained his innocence.

The killing of a 14-year-old girl in her own home shocked the community. Does anyone have information about Janell, Donna, or the Mountain Gate area around February 1981 that could help clarify what happened?
