Oliver Peter Molitor was 13 when he was murdered on March 21, 1976. His body was found in Manhattan Beach, California; investigators determined he had been sexually assaulted, fatally shot, and dismembered after death. The killing was later linked to Patrick Wayne Kearney, who targeted young men and boys across Southern California.

Kearney reportedly picked up male hitchhikers or young men from bars during drives he took alone. He is said to have killed quickly, typically with a gun, and to have committed sexual acts with some victims’ bodies. After his arrest, Kearney confessed to dozens of murders and was charged with multiple counts; his partner David Hill was questioned and ultimately released when no involvement was found.

Does anyone have memories of Oliver or information about his last known movements in Redondo Beach that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
