Michael Naker was 16 when he was abducted and killed on July 5, 1978, in Mira Mesa, San Diego. He and a 16-year-old friend, John Mayeski, were taken from a parking lot by Robert Alton Harris, who intended to steal their car. Harris was armed with a 9mm Luger pistol and shot both boys to death during the kidnapping.

Authorities arrested Harris the same day. He was convicted of the murders and sentenced to death; his case produced lengthy appeals, including Pulley v. Harris, which reached the Supreme Court and resulted in the death sentence being upheld. Harris was executed in California by asphyxiation-gas on April 21, 1992.

The killings were part of a larger crime spree that also involved robbery and kidnapping. Does anyone have memories of the victims or information about the events in Mira Mesa on July 5, 1978?
