ROUGH SKETCH OF A SERIAL KILLER
On the morning of January 27, 1974, at approximately 1:25 a.m., police dispatch received a phone call reporting the discovery of a corpse at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach.
“I believe there might be a dead person,” the caller said in a calm, male-sounding voice before declining to give their name and hanging up.
When officers arrived on the scene 30 minutes later, they found the body of 50-year-old Gerald Cavanaugh. He’d been stabbed 16 times.
