Tiffany Paige Schultz, a 20-year-old student at San Diego State University who also worked as a nude dancer, was murdered on January 12, 1990, in San Diego. She lived in Clairemont and shared an apartment with her fiancé, Christopher Jon Burns, and a male roommate. Burns left for work that morning and returned in the late afternoon; the roommate came home around 8:45 p.m. and discovered Tiffany’s body. She had been stabbed more than 50 times in a killing described by investigators as the most brutal in a series of attacks that began that year.

Tiffany’s murder was the first of six homicides that targeted women in the University City and Clairemont neighborhoods. The victims were attacked in their homes, often during daytime hours, and in several cases the assailant used the victims’ own kitchen knives.

A man named Cleophus Prince Jr., 24 and originally from Alabama, was later arrested and charged in the string of murders. He had moved into the Buena Vista Gardens complex shortly before the killings and was linked to the crimes by circumstantial evidence, eyewitness accounts, forensic findings including DNA in another murder, and possession of stolen items. The killings were charged as multiple first-degree murders with special circumstances. Does anyone who lived in University City or Clairemont in 1990 recall unusual activity, suspicious people, or relevant details from the days around January 12?
