Kimberly Pandelios murder on A Current Affair - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just happened to tune into A Current Affair when I caught the last few minutes of a segment about the murder of Kimberly Pandelios. She was the California woman who disappeared in 1992, after answering to an ad for a modeling job. Her remains were found within a year.

In the UM episode (which aired during the 1994-95 season), a man was interviewed because he was convinced that he saw Kimberly in a camping area, only to be scared off by three men.

As you may know, the Kimberly Pandelios case was later believed to have been connected to the November 1995 murder of model Linda Sobek (whose killer, Charles Rathbun, is doing life in prison without parole). However, there was never any hard evidence to support that claim.

In any case, the Current Affair segment mentioned the fact that a suspect was arrested and charged with Kimberly's murder in April 2004. It also said that his trial begins next month.

The Current Affair segment is listed at the show's archive section (see the link below). The segment is titled "A Mother's Resolve".

Thanks Kane. I'm in the West so I should be able to catch the show out here tonight.

If this is the right guy, more evidence to discount eyewitness speculation or to assume one murder is linked to another simply based on locale. I'd love to wager this Rademaker wasn't at the camping area, and neither was Kimberly. And that guy who killed Linda Sobek made so many stupid mistakes it screamed he didn't have any prior experience.
