Quita Hague, a 28-year-old white woman, was murdered on October 19, 1973, in San Francisco. She and her husband, Richard Hague, were abducted at gunpoint while walking near their Telegraph Hill home. The couple were forced into a van, taken several miles away, and assaulted. Quita suffered catastrophic injuries, described as near decapitation, and her body was found on a railroad track. Richard was severely beaten, found wandering near the scene with his hands bound and his face slashed.

Her killing was linked to a series of racially motivated attacks later called the Zebra murders. Four men associated with the Death Angels — Manuel Moore, Larry Green, Jessie Lee Cooks, and J.C.X. The investigation became one of San Francisco’s largest manhunts and prompted controversial police tactics, including stop-and-question operations that led to accusations of racial profiling and civil rights violations.

Quita Hague worked as a reporter for the Industrial City Press. Does anyone have memories, documents, or leads about Quita, Richard, or the case that could add context to this attack?
