Cheri Domingo, 35, was murdered on July 27, 1981, in Goleta, California, during a nighttime home invasion at a relative’s house where she was staying with companion Gregory Sanchez. An intruder later identified as the Golden State Killer bound Domingo and shot Sanchez before beating both victims to death. Reports say Sanchez was shot in the face, which temporarily subdued him, and that Domingo’s death resulted from a particularly forceful blow to the head while her hands and feet had been tightly bound.

For decades the case remained cold. Years later genetic analysis linked the murders of Domingo and Sanchez to the man known then as the East Area Rapist and later called the Golden State Killer. Domingo’s daughter, Debbi Domingo, is named as an advocate for justice in the aftermath.

Does anyone have memories of the Goleta community in 1981 or information about Cheri Domingo or Gregory Sanchez that could help fill gaps in this case?
