Former Muir teacher recalls attack on mother by accused serial killer
OMG This victim was the mother of my daughter and my husband’s former school teacher. Read it all….
” PASADENA - Gary Stellern arrived at his mother’s home 31 years ago to find the 78-year-old woman sitting on the floor, her foot nearly torn off at the ankle.
“I will never forget seeing the white tibia and fibula sticking out,” he said. “He raped her and damn near ripped her foot off.”
Stellern’s mother said she had been raped and attacked that night by an intruder waiting inside her home. The intruder, jurors later decided, was John Floyd Thomas Jr., whom authorities now suspect may have killed up to 30 older women in Southern California. Stellern never found out how his mother’s ankle was so badly injured.”
