New article on Kimberly Pandilios - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I came across this recent article that gives a lot of additional info about her case. As most of you probably know David Rademaker was convicted of her murder and was just recently sentenced to life without parole.

Thanks for the article. I recall that case and was glad that there was closure to it. What a heartbreaker.

Yes and no. Yes, Kimberly Pandelios was mentioned a few times in an episode of Forensic Files; no, there was never an episode about the case per se.

Early in the show's run, Forensic Files did an episode about the 1995 murder of Linda Sobek. The name of the episode is "Photo Finish." Because of speculation that Kimberly's murder was connected to Linda's murder (as both women were models), the former was mentioned in the episode. However, the murder of Kimberly Pandelios was an unsolved case when "Photo Finish" originally aired.

I'm relieved that they caught the guy.

In the segment, a witness named Brad Leon claimed that there was 3 individuals when he had his chance encounter with a woman he's convinced was Kimberly. According to this article, this incident was unrelated to the case.

This case is so depressing. Adds another chapter to the big book of cautionary tales.

Truly depressing.

What did the article say? It's no longer active.
So the incident that UM re-enacted was no related? It sounds too close, the 3 men, the blond. That is so bizarre if it was un-related. How would they know?
That pig-faced guy (from the composite) gave me nightmares! I couldn't get up and go to bathroom alone...my husband thought it was funny!

Here's another article about it from early 2006:

Jury Hears Secretly Taped Conversations With Model's Alleged Killer
Burbank Man Could Be Sentenced To Death

POSTED: 6:32 pm PST January 26, 2006
UPDATED: 7:10 pm PST January 26, 2006

LOS ANGELES -- A jury Thursday heard secretly taped conversations in which a Burbank man repeatedly denied that he was responsible for the 1992 sexual assault and drowning death of a 20-year-old Northridge model.

Cindy Haddon, the ex-girlfriend of David Rademaker, confirmed on the witness stand that the voices on the tapes belonged to her and the defendant.

Rademaker, 41, could be sentenced to death by lethal injection if convicted of first-degree murder with one or both special circumstance allegations of kidnapping and sodomy.

The victim, Kimberly Pandelios, disappeared on Feb. 27, 1992. Her remains were found a year later in the Angeles National Forest.

She had moved with her husband, Peter, from Florida to the Southland the year before she disappeared to pursue a modeling career.

In her testimony, Haddon said she agreed to cooperate with sheriff's homicide investigators who were looking at Rademaker as a possible suspect in Pandelios' death.

She said she used a special cellular telephone that taped her conversations with Rademaker onto a data bank accessible to investigators.

"I didn't kill her; that's ridiculous," Rademaker told the woman during one conversation in which she implored him to tell her the truth.

In the same conversation, Rademaker suggested he might kill himself if charged in Pandelios' death.

"I'm not spending the rest of my life in prison," Rademaker said.

Rademaker also said he did not like police officers.

"I don't trust cops; they lie," Rademaker said. "I think they need someone to blame, and they're going to blame me."

In a face-to-face conversation with Haddon at a Lakewood restaurant, Rademaker told the woman, "They've been trying to hang me for this thing for 14 years."

Rademaker also advised Haddon not to talk to investigators.

"When it comes to talking to the cops, don't say anything," Rademaker said.

The prosecution contends that the incident described on the UM segment was unrelated.

Yup. The composite kinda looks like Aileen Wuornos' cousin, which is never reassuring.

I have an update to the UM Linda Sobek case, or at least I did at one time, but neither CD or I can remember seeing the original case. Does anyone recall seeing the Linda Sobek case?

I've seen the Linda Sobek case on an A&E show (it was eirie--showed a pic of her arm sticking out of the sand!), but never on UM. Was it on there?

Yes UM did air it but it seem to have a limited run. One of those I've been searching for. I do have the Linda Sobek update from UM that I believe mentioned they think Charles Rathburn could have been responsible for Kimberly Pandilios' murder as well. Of course they turned out not to be the case.

Was it ever determined if Jeff's eyewitness account of seeing Kim with three men was verified?

"What's your problem, man?"

Seriously one of the creepiest re-enactments UM has ever put together.

He must have just run across some hippies who thought he was getting too close to their lady.

Unless he is lying, this is by far the oddest coincidence ever.
