Beverly Bryant, 24, was found dead on December 25, 1985, at an elementary school in the Oakland hills. Authorities determined she died of severe head injuries and investigators later confirmed she had been sexually assaulted. Bryant was one of five women linked to a string of violent attacks in the East Bay in late 1985.

The murders went unsolved for years. Advances in DNA testing eventually tied evidence from Bryant and other victims to Anthony McKnight, a former Navy sailor who had been convicted previously of multiple rapes and attempted murders. Prosecutors said the attacks on the victims involved stabbing, bludgeoning, and sexual assault over a roughly three-month period; McKnight was charged and tried in connection with these cases.

If anyone knew Beverly, her routines in Oakland, or remembers anything from that winter of 1985, please share information that might still help investigators or the families.
