I just read about the Speed Freak Killers (Herzog and Shermantine) that were recently in the news. These are/were two guys from Northern California that went around kidnapping and killing people for 20 years. Most of their kidnapping victims were woman. Shermantine claims that they killed about 70 people. One of their supposed victims was a 9 year old girl named Michaela Garecht who was kidnapped in 1988 from Hayward California.
I grew up in Hayward and had friends that lived about 200 yards from where the girl was abducted. I remember going out after work and looking around the empty fields and along the bay (water) to see if I could find something even though I knew I wouldn't find anything. There hasn't been any confirmations yet that her remains were found.
In the mid 1980, a girl disappeared from Linden California; the home town of Herzog and Shermantine. Her parents said the last time they saw her was when she said she was going to Shermantine's parent cabin. She was never seen again. There was another girl missing from Linden a few years later, but the police never questioned Shermantine. It seems that the local police/sheriffs department is incompetant.
Shermantine told the police were they could find the remains of some of the people he killed. The police found bone fragments but didn't have them analyzed for DNA. The mother of one of the missing girls thought something was wrong with the bones and paid to have her daughters remains checked to see if the DNA of her daughters really matched the DNA of the bones. The DNA test showed that there were 2 other girls' bone fragments mixed in with her daughters bone fragments.
I hope they find out what happened to Michaela Garecht. They really need to take a look at the competence of the Police and Sheriffs department of Linden California.
P.S. Those two guys look like two psychopathic Jirks I worked with.
