The presumably real killer, Carlos Hernandez, was a repeat violent offender who had a history of slashing women with his knife. In fact, various of Hernandez’ family members interviewed for the Columbia University report determined the pictures of the murder weapon retrieved from the gas station looked similar to the knife Hernandez habitually kept with him. The report, specifically more than 400 pages long, was turned over to the Chicago Tribune which then published a three-part series in 2006 that procured evidence suggesting that Hernandez was the true suspect. Numerous people revealed to the Tribune that Hernandez-who died in 1999 in prison of a liver disease-had confessed to the killing of that harrowing night. Essentially, negligent police work, the prosecution’s failure to pursue another suspect, and a weak defense fused to send DeLuna to death row. “There are many cases out there that nobody has ever looked at and are probably at risk of innocence,” said
Examples of his arrests are: possession, breaking and entering, theft, and grand theft auto. On June 28, 1984 the killings started. The first murder surprised the police by its brutal nature. He entered the house of 79-year-old Jennie Vincow and stabbed her as she slept as well as defile her corpse. Nine months pass and he decides to strike again. March 17, 1985 he shoots Maria Rodriguez but she escapes. Her roommate Dayle Okazaki did not survive however and neither did Tsai-Lian Yu who was killed an hour after when Ramirez took her car and left her in the road. Three days later, he raped an eight-year-old girl. March 27, 1985, shot Vincent Zazzarra and tortured and killed his wife Maxine. Maxine’s body was mutilated with a T on her left breast and eyes gouged out. May 29, 1985, killed Malvial Keller and Blanche Wolfe with a hammer. Ramirez failed to rape Keller but put a pentagram on her thigh and the wall. The next day he sodomized Ruth Wilson and locked her 12-year-old son in the closet. June 27, 1985, raped a 6-year-old girl. The following day killed Patty Higgins by throat cut. July 2, 1985, killed Mary Cannon in the same fashion.

That night, many witnesses reported having seen a man changing the tire of his van and waving any possible help away angrily while others reported seeing a woman wandering around the side of the dangerous highway. More witnesses reported that Kenneth and his wife were having many violent disputes at their home that usually resulted in Kenneth pursuing an angry Yvonne around the block. The most compelling evidence against Mathison, however, is purely scientific. Detective Paul Ferreira first noticed that the extensive blood stains inside the Mathison van. After hearing Mathison’s original account, he summoned the assistance of famed forensic expert Dr. Henry Lee to analyze what he thought was inconsistent evidence. Blood stains on the paneling and the spare tire in the cargo area reveal low-velocity blood stains meaning that the blood probably dripped from Yvonne’s head onto the floor. The stains found on the roof and steering wheel were contact transfer patterns probably caused by Mathison’s bloody hands. Blood stains on the driver’s side of the van were contact-dripping patterns which indicate that Mathison touched the inside of the van multiple times before and after moving his wife’s body. The final groups of blood stains on the instrument panel of the van were medium-velocity stains which show investigators that Mathison probably struck his wife at least once in the front seat causing the blood to fly from her open head wound. The enormous amounts of blood inside the van lead prosecutor Kurt Spohn to investigate the Mathison case as a murder instead of a misdemeanor traffic violation.

Get the other driver’s, or drivers’, name, address, telephone numbers, license number, insurance information, vehicle plate number, and vehicle make, model, and year. Also get the names and contact information from any passengers and any witnesses. When talking with anyone involved in the accident, never admit being at fault because it may not be easy to determine who was at fault. Saying you’re sorry for an accident, even if you’re not at fault, may be interpreted as admitting liability for the incident. Ask the police for the number on the police report to be filed and get the name and badge number of all the police at the scene. The police report will state who was at fault and if any citations were
