Janelle Lisa Cruz

She was a poet, a warrior. A representation of all that is good in the world. She was a young woman who was struck down well before her time. But first, to us, she was just Janelle. :)

Her sense of life, fun and humor was infectious. The kind of girl where if she laughed, you laughed. And if she smiled, your heart just sore knowing she thought well of you.

Janelle loved her family, adored Marilyn Monroe and despite several hardships, graduated high school . She had tremendous ambition and looked forward to her bright future.

But all that changed on May 5, 1986.

Janelle came face to face with The Golden State Killer; California's most prolific serial killer/sex offender, in her own home. Unfortunately, the wrong person ended up walking away from that encounter.

Five long years had occurred since this madman claimed a victim and there would be no other murder after Janelle. The Golden State Killer came out of hiding for her--and then stopped. Why?

If you have any information about Janelle's murder (or the 100+ other crimes he committed), please get in touch with the authorities of Irvine, Sacramento and Santa Barbara, Ca. This case needs closure, for all the victims.

One thing though this monster can never take away from us is our love for Janelle. She will always be remembered throughout her family and friends, and live on in our hearts and minds.

Janelle MUST NEVER be forgotten.

I look forward to the day when The E.A.R./O.N.S. now known as The Golden State Killer is punished for all his crimes. Arrested on April 25, 2018. Sacramento will hold the trial.

Everyday I wake up with the hope that a miracle will come. That miracle was answered and we have the monster responsible for the destruction of so many lives. Thank you to every single person responsible for this capture and staying the course for 40 years.

**A film is currently being planned to be made about Janelle and these series of crimes. It's called, "Bird with a Broken Wing" and we need your help in getting it made.

Remember, every dollar counts. And please, tell everyone you know about this film and how they can help. Thank you.

And last but not least, here is Elton John singing, "Candle in the Wind." This song could be just as much about our beautiful angel, Janelle, as it is about Marilyn Monroe.

Special thanks to Cameron Cloutier for all his support and
for making Janelle's memorial a special place for us to come and share our heartfelt comments and cherish Janelle.

****Thank you to "Tracker" for sponsoring Janelle's memorial.
****Thank you to "With All My Love" who created Janelle's graveside memorial.
