Brian Erickson, 28, was found dead on August 13, 1979, in Daly City, California. His body was discovered inside his own white station wagon on King Drive and the death was ruled a homicide from blunt force trauma. Erickson had been described as a drifter who had most recently stayed briefly in Berkeley.

The body had remained in the vehicle for several weeks before being found, delaying discovery. About a month before the vehicle was checked, Erickson’s wallet was recovered from a storm drain in a South San Francisco neighborhood, a detail that raises questions about the timeline and where he was between the wallet recovery and the discovery of the car. The case remains unsolved; investigators noted a lack of witnesses and limited evidence, and the delayed discovery complicated establishing the exact circumstances of his death.

Did anyone who knew Erickson’s movements in the weeks before August 13, 1979, see him or remember the white station wagon on King Drive?
