Jennie Vincow, a 79-year-old woman, was found murdered in her Los Angeles apartment on June 28, 1984. Her throat had been slashed so deeply she was nearly decapitated, and she sustained multiple stab wounds to the chest and neck. The apartment showed signs of forced entry, with a removed window screen and rooms ransacked. Investigators determined she had likely been sexually assaulted after death.

Fingerprints from the scene later linked Richard Ramirez to the killing. Ramirez’s attack on Vincow was later recognized as the first in a series of violent home invasions and murders that followed in California during the mid-1980s.

Does anyone have information about Vincow’s life or movements in Los Angeles before June 28, 1984, or recall anything suspicious around her building at that time?
