Olga Cannon, a 23-year-old African American woman, was murdered on August 15, 1984, in Fresno County, California. Her body was found months later, on December 8, 1984, in an irrigation ditch near Easton, California. The cause of death was bludgeoning; she suffered multiple blows to the head with a blunt object.

Wilbur Lee Jennings, born in 1940, was arrested on September 13, 1984, and later convicted for Cannon’s murder along with the killings of Linda Johnson and Jacqueline Frazier in 1984 and Karen Robinson in 1983. The jury found special circumstances that Johnson, Cannon, and Frazier were killed during robberies and that Johnson and Cannon were killed during the commission of a rape. Jennings was sentenced to death by a Fresno County jury on November 20, 1986, and became known as the Ditchbank Murderer because several victims’ bodies were disposed of in irrigation ditches and canals.

Did anyone in the Fresno or Easton area remember Olga or have information about her movements in August 1984?
