Janene Marie Weinhold, a 21-year-old White woman, was murdered on February 16, 1990, in the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego. Her killing was one of several brutal attacks on young women around the Buena Vista Gardens apartment complex in early 1990. The assaults shared a violent pattern: frenzied stabbings that often included wounds to the victims’ breasts.

Cleophus Prince Jr., who had moved into the Buena Vista Gardens complex in December 1989 and worked late shifts at Expo Builder Supplies, was later tied to Weinhold’s murder by forensic evidence, including DNA. The series of attacks continued after Weinhold was killed, contributing to widespread fear among local residents.

If anyone knew Janene, lived near Buena Vista Gardens in early 1990, or has information about that period, please share what you know with investigators.
