Jacqueline Leah Lamp was 13 when she was abducted and murdered on September 2, 1979, in Southern California. Leah and 15-year-old Jackie Gilliam were among five teenage victims taken, assaulted, tortured and killed during a five-month crime spree by Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, who became known as the Tool Box Killers.

Investigators linked the pair to multiple kidnappings of young girls, carried out from a van the men modified and called Murder Mac. Some victims’ remains, including Leah’s, were recovered in the San Gabriel Mountains. A recording found in the van and implements used to torture victims were introduced at the subsequent prosecution.

Bittaker and Norris were arrested and charged with multiple counts including first-degree murder, kidnapping and rape.

Did anyone who knew Leah or saw her in Redondo Beach in 1979 come forward with information then or since?
