Anita Mary Luchessa was an 18-year-old Fresno State student who disappeared from Berkeley, California on May 7, 1972. She and a friend, Mary Anne Pesce, were hitchhiking to Stanford when they were picked up by Edmund Emil Kemper III. Both women were driven to a remote wooded area near Alameda; Pesce’s skull was later found on Loma Prieta Mountain, but no trace of Luchessa has ever been recovered.

Luchessa was described as a Caucasian female, brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 1 inch tall, wearing gold-rimmed eyeglasses, a red shirt and white bib overalls when last seen. Reports say she was killed in the trunk of Kemper’s car and that their bodies were dismembered and disposed of near Loma Prieta Mountain. Kemper later confessed to their murders along with other victims.

Does anyone have information about Luchessa’s whereabouts after May 7, 1972, or recall sightings that could help complete her timeline?
