Gloria Jean Fravel, a 24-year-old woman from San Francisco, was murdered in early February 1983. She had been connected to a local escort agency and reportedly owed $500 to its owner, Tina Livingston. After an attempt to flee, Gloria was found by Livingston and another sex worker, Keli Angel Burns, and taken to a Burlingame warehouse owned by Anthony John Sully, a former Millbrae police officer turned electrical contractor.

At the warehouse Sully offered to pay Gloria for sex; she refused. According to accounts, Sully beat, handcuffed and suspended her from the ceiling, then over about two days tortured and sexually assaulted her while Livingston and Burns stayed elsewhere in the building. She was reportedly drugged with cocaine, gagged and at one point freed herself and screamed, whereupon Sully strangled her with a rope. While attempting to dispose of the body, Gloria briefly regained consciousness in a car; Sully then stopped the vehicle and fatally struck her in the head with an axe. Her body was found near State Route 35 on February 7, 1983.

Sully was later linked to five additional murders and arrested August 25, 1983. The case involved multiple defendants; some were convicted and received reduced or life sentences. Does anyone have further details about Gloria’s life or the movements that led her to Burlingame?
