Sonja Johnson was a 14-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered on November 13, 1977. She and a friend, Dolly Cepeda, were taken while walking home from school by two men who posed as police officers. Their bodies were found about a week later and showed signs of strangulation.

The killings were part of a string of murders in Los Angeles carried out between October 1977 and February 1978 by Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, known as the Hillside Stranglers. The pair targeted young women, used the false identity of law enforcement to gain trust, and were later apprehended and convicted of multiple counts of kidnapping, rape, and murder.

Does anyone have memories of Sonja, Dolly, or the neighborhood where they were taken that could add detail to what happened that day?
