The day after she had been murdered near the University of Nevada, Reno on 2-24-1976. Found very little of use at the huge U of MN Law Library from 1986-1991.
They "solved" the Michelle Mitchell murder around 1979 but rushed to judgment because a mentally ill woman made a false confession to get a better room in her mental hospital in Louisiana. They finally got the right person in Rodney Halbower in 2014 following a DNA test on a cigarette that they had bagged back in 1976 at the scene of the crime. What a mess. Getting the wrong person allows the real criminal to keep on doing his or her dirty work. Halbower is a serial killer connected to the San Francisco Bay area and other places. Paula Zahn did a pretty good program on the events. Season 21. Episode 1. On the Case. "Crime and Injustice". And not for Nothing.
