Robyn Whitehead was 37 when she was murdered in California sometime between May 1 and June 30, 2000. The cause of death is listed as strangulation and bludgeoning.

Her killing is attributed to Samuel Jefferson Dixon, born in 1941, who is named as a serial killer responsible for multiple murders in California between 2000 and 2001. Dixon’s confirmed victims include an unidentified San Diego Jane Doe killed in May 2000, Robyn Whitehead, Salvadore Reyes (killed between June 1 and June 30, 2000), and Gary Lynn Boothe (bludgeoned to death on April 30, 2001). Dixon’s assaults were described as involving torture, strangulation, and bludgeoning and appeared opportunistic with victims of both genders.

Dixon was apprehended on May 17, 2001, and is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County.

If anyone knew Robyn or has information about her life or last movements in spring 2000, please come forward.
