Sonya Higginbotham was 19 when she was murdered in her Oakland home in June 1975. She was found sexually assaulted and stabbed to death.

Jackson is said to have been responsible for multiple murders in the San Francisco Bay area between 1975 and 1982; he was convicted of a single murder and died in prison in 2002. The narrative ties Sonya’s killing to other victims from that period, including Ann Johnson and Cynthia Waxman, and says later DNA work connected Jackson to additional murders.
