Roxene Roggasch was 18 when her body was found January 11, 1977, off Sir Francis Drake Boulevard on the east side of White’s Hill near Fairfax, California. She had been strangled with pantyhose around her neck and had her feet bound; investigators estimated she’d been dead less than a day. Early inquiries examined a possible connection to prostitution, which her family denied. Her former boyfriend, described as an alleged pimp, said he last saw her on January 4 or 5, 1977.

Decades later forensic testing linked the pantyhose used in the killing to the case against Joseph Naso through DNA belonging to his former wife, Judith Naso, placing him in the investigative picture. Records also showed property ownership and other ties to the area where Roggasch had been seen soliciting clients.

If anyone knew Roxene, her movements in early January 1977, or has information about her interactions near MacArthur BART or Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, please come forward.
