Barbara Lea Searcy, 22, was murdered on August 19, 1983, in Burlingame, California. She went to a warehouse rented by Anthony Jack Sully with her landlord, Raleigh Hill, to collect money Sully reportedly owed her and never returned. Sully, a former Peninsula police officer who later worked as an electrical contractor, lured several victims to that warehouse; many were connected to an escort service and Sully’s drug involvement.

Investigators found that Sully subjected multiple victims to extreme violence—beating, stabbing, and shooting—and some bodies were discovered stuffed into barrels and dumped in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Sully was arrested and convicted of multiple counts of first-degree murder, including Searcy’s. The case exposed a pattern of predation tied to Sully’s double life.

Does anyone have memories of the Burlingame area or knew Barbara Lea Searcy who could add details about her life or the events of August 1983?
