Murders of Barbara Nantais
On the night of August 13, 1978, 15-year-old Barbra Nantais and her boyfriend went to Torrey Pines State Beach in California. When they were sleeping in their sleeping bags together on the beach they were attacked. On the morning of August 13, 1978, someone walking on the beach found Barbra's body. Police would come and find her boyfriend semi-conscious with a severe head injury and no memory of the night.
Her boyfriend's head was beaten with a rock and a log from the fire near them. Barbara's death had been so much more brutal. She had been beaten and strangled and sexually assaulted. The sand was found in her mouth. Her body would be mutilated as one of her breasts had been severed. The killer would then drag her nude body near the lifeguard tower and positioned her to spread eagle.
In 1984 there was an extremely similar murder of 14-year-old Claire Hough on the same beach. It's likely that the two were murdered by the same person.

The Murder of Terry Sutter
On the day of September 1st, 1973 15 year old Terry Sutter spent the day mowing the lawns. His mother had forgotten to pick him up, so he walked home. He had wanted to spend that night at the movies and bowling alley with his friends. So his mother brought him to town, and dropped him off in Frankfort, Michigan. He was to stay with his Grandmother and his curfew was at 11 pm.
His parent's were shocked to hear that Terry didn't stay the night let alone arrive at his grandmothers house. He wasn't a difficult type of kid. He was the type who understood curfews and never broke them. This worried his family and they went out to search for him. The police did not take the family seriously as they believed he was hiding out so he didn't have to go to school.
That afternoon though Terry's body was found on the beach of Lake Michigan by a tourist. It was initially believed he had maybe died from a fall from a cliff and into Lake Michigan. It was found that his lungs were not filled with water, but instead with sand. Pointing towards being murdered. It's possible that his face was held down in sand and he suffocated to death. His neck and head were covered in bruises and his eyes were filled with sand.
Somebody had begun to vandalize the poor 15 year olds grave. His head stone would get vandalized, flower pots put there for flowers were broken and even the bush planted there by an older sister was ripped out. Eventually it was decide Terry would lie in an unmarked grave as they removed the head stone.
