Holly Suzanne Tarr, an 18-year-old from Okemos, Michigan, was murdered on April 3, 1990, while visiting her brother in San Diego. She had been staying at the Buena Vista Gardens apartments in the Clairemont neighborhood for spring break and had been swimming at the complex pool shortly before the attack. Witnesses heard a scream and some saw a man fleeing; a bloodstained butcher knife recovered in an alley behind the complex was believed to be the murder weapon. Holly suffered a fatal stab wound to the chest.

Authorities quickly noted similarities between Tarr’s killing and the earlier murders of Tiffany Schultz and Janene Marie Weinhold in the same neighborhood and investigated the possibility of a serial killer. Cleophus Prince Jr., who had lived at Buena Vista Gardens at the time, was later arrested and charged in multiple murders, including Tarr’s; witnesses placed him near the scene and investigators reported finding evidence linking him to the crimes. He was convicted and sentenced to death.

Did anyone in the Clairemont area at that time have information about suspicious people or vehicles near Buena Vista Gardens the night Holly was killed?
