They Weren’t Satisfied
❖After raping and killing Cindy, Bittaker said it wasn’t very fun
❖He didn’t get the satisfaction from it he was expecting
❖He figured this was probably just the pressure of never having done it before
❖Obviously he’s decided he isn’t done and wants to give it another shot

They didn’t wait long before Norris attacked her

❖They then raped her
➢Bittaker twice, Norris once (see notes for why)

❖He then made her pose for pictures that he took on his Polaroid camera
❖They then took her even further and Bittaker made her walk up another hill
❖During this walk, Norris went to buy alcohol
❖When he came back Andrea was gone but Bittaker had two very disturbing Polaroids

Jackie Doris Gilliam (Source: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6681948/jacqueline-doris-gilliam)
September 3, 1979
❖Jackie and Leah were at a bus stop near Hermosa Beach hitchhiking
❖They were only about a block away from the beach, so it’s unclear why the were hitchhiking
❖Bittaker and Norris offered them a ride and they accepted
❖Once in the van, Norris offered them marijuana which they both accepted
❖They noticed that they were starting to veer off course from the beach but were headed towards the mountains
Jackie and Leah Put Up a Fight
❖Once they realized this was happening, they stood up to the men
❖Bittaker and Norris tried to come up with excuses, but the girls weren’t falling for it
❖Leah (13) tried to open the sliding door, but Norris hit her in the head with a bag filled with lead weights
❖This knocked her unconscious and gave him a chance to overpower and bind Jackie
❖While he was doing this, Leah regained consciousness and tried to get out again
2 Days of Torture
❖Like the two before them, the men drove them to the San Gabriel Mountains
❖They were repeatedly abused both sexually and physically
❖Bittaker decided to audio record himself raping Jackie after he found out that she was a virgin
❖He really seemed to focus on Jackie
❖They also took Polaroid pictures of Leah
❖This torture lasted two days
❖They took turns sleeping in the van with Jackie and Leah
➢One would sleep in the van with them while the other would keep a lookout
Double Murder
❖After they decided they were done with the girls they discussed how they were going to kill them
❖Norris apparently suggested Jackie get a quick death as she had been mostly cooperative, but Bittaker said “No, they only die once anyway.”
❖He then stabbed her in both ears with an ice pick and strangled her
➢The handle broke off so the ice pick was embedded in her skull
❖He then took Leah out of the van and yelled at her, “You wanted to stay a virgin; now you can die a virgin”
❖Norris then hit her over the head with a sledgehammer before Bittaker strangled her
❖He thought she was dead but she opened her eyes, so Norris began bludgeoning her over the head with the sledgehammer repeatedly again while Bittaker continued to strangle her
❖They were both thrown over an embankment down a steep ravine
❖Unlike the previous two victims, they were found and partial remains were recovered
