On August 7, 1977, Margo E. Compton, 24, and three members of her household were executed in Gaston, Oregon: her 6-year-old twin daughters, Sylvia and Sandra, and her boyfriend’s 19-year-old son, Gary Seslar. The killings were linked to retaliation by members of the Hells Angels Vallejo chapter after Compton testified in a prostitution trial in San Francisco. Compton had told Detective Tony Novello she felt followed and had been receiving threats prior to the murders.

Investigators identified Odis Buck Garrett, a Vallejo Hells Angels leader, as the man who ordered the hit, and Robert G. Bugeye McClure, described as a hang-around, as the triggerman. McClure and Garrett were later convicted and each received four consecutive life terms.

Are there readers who remember Gaston in 1977 or who have any information about the case that could shed further light on the events leading up to these murders?
