Epilogues |
|
|
|
Yvonne was survived by her mother and stepfather, her
father, her brother and |
|
a
half-brother. Her mother was pregnant with her
sister at the time of her |
|
disappearance. She was born before Yvonne's
remains were found. |
|
|
|
Since that time her mother and stepfather have divorced
and live in different |
|
states
outside of California. Yvonne's birth father has
died. |
|
|
|
Update |
|
Her older brother, Mark, was unable to come to grips
with his sister’s murder. |
|
He felt,
as an older brother, that he should have been able to
protect her. He eventually |
|
became homeless and struggled with addiction issues. I
have learned that Mark passed away in |
|
August of 2009. He died in his car, homeless and alone.
People who commit murders have no idea |
|
how many people are affected by their actions and how
long those effects can last. |

Maureen was survived by her mother, an older sister and
her grandparents. |
|
Maureen's father died before she was born. A
schoolmate of Maureen has said |
|
that
she had a very strong presence and could be a bit of an
anti-authoritarian. |
|
She
would have fought hard to protect both herself and
Yvonne. |

This
is a vintage photo of Montgomery Village, a shopping
center on Farmers Lane in Santa Rosa. Victim Maureen
Sterling |
|
lived 3 or 4 blocks from where
this photo was taken. I imagine she spent a lot of time
there meeting friends, window |
|
shopping,
having a soda
or ice cream —
just like most young people do today when going to the
mall. |
