On December 15, 1977, 27-year-old nurse Georgia Wixted was found dead in her Malibu apartment. She had last been seen the evening before when she drove a coworker home from a bar and didn’t report to work the next day. Police who entered her apartment documented signs of forced entry and discovered her body posed naked on the bedroom floor. She had been strangled with her own nylons, sexually assaulted, suffered severe skull trauma consistent with blunt force from a nearby hammer, and her genitals had been mutilated.

Investigators later linked the crime scene to Rodney Alcala through a handprint and DNA evidence, noting similarities between Wixted’s injuries and Alcala’s pattern of posing victims and extreme sexual violence. Alcala was under scrutiny by law enforcement in the late 1970s and was arrested in July 1979 in an unrelated murder that produced further evidence connecting him to multiple killings, including this one.

Did anyone who knew Georgia in Malibu or remembers unusual activity around her apartment in December 1977 come forward with details?
