Daniel Lynn Burns, 42, known as Doc, lived in the 7700 block of Nightingale Way in the University Heights area and worked in the supply department at Naval Ocean Systems Center. An alumnus of San Jose State University, many who knew him remembered him as a sports fanatic and an avid supporter of the San Jose State football team.

On Monday April 14, 1980 a co-worker checked on Daniel after he failed to show up for work and received no answer. Officers who entered his condo found him strangled to death and the residence ransacked. He had been last seen alive the night before, Sunday April 13, 1980, at the Monte Carlo Club.

Does anyone who knew Daniel or was in University Heights on April 13–14, 1980 have information that could help clarify what happened?
