Suzanne Camille Jacobs, 31, was murdered on May 4, 1979, in her home in Normal Heights, San Diego. She was found slain alongside her 3-year-old son, Colin Jacobs. Both victims had their throats slashed, a method later linked to other killings in the area.

On the morning of May 4 Suzanne’s husband, Michael Jacobs, left for work at about 6:00 AM. A neighbor, Margaret Harris, reported seeing a dark maroon sports car with a black top pull up between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. Around 11:00 AM Harris tried to call Suzanne and got no answer. Investigators determined the killer entered the home and committed the murders during that time frame.

David Allen Lucas was identified as the perpetrator; he was later convicted on June 21, 1989, for the murders of Suzanne and Colin Jacobs and other related crimes. Lucas was sentenced to death. Does anyone have memories of Normal Heights in 1979 or information about the days leading up to May 4 that could shed light on this case?
