Geoffrey Alan Nelson was 18 when he was killed on February 12, 1983, in Cypress, Orange County, California. He was last seen in the early hours of that day; his nude body was found on the Euclid on-ramp to the Garden Grove Freeway after being thrown from a moving vehicle. The cause of death was strangulation and toxicology found propranolol and diazepam in his system. His body showed sexual mutilation and emasculation.

Nelson, from Buena Park, was friends with Roger DeVaul, another victim identified in the same investigation. Prosecutors linked Nelson and DeVaul to the coded phrase 2 IN 1 BEACH on Randy Kraft’s scorecard. Kraft, later convicted of multiple counts of first-degree murder and mayhem in May 1989, was associated with a pattern of young Caucasian males found strangled and dumped from moving vehicles.

Did anyone who knew Geoffrey or his circle in Buena Park have information about his movements in February 1983?
