Mary Ann Pesce was 18 when she was killed on May 7, 1972. She and a friend, Anita Luchessa, were hitchhiking when Edmund Kemper offered them a ride. Instead of delivering them to their destination, he drove them to a remote area and murdered them. Pesce was stabbed and strangled to death in the backseat of Kemper’s car; Luchessa was killed in the trunk in a similar manner.

Kemper later dismembered their bodies, kept parts for a period, and then disposed of them. Pesce’s remains were eventually found and identified; Luchessa’s body was never recovered. Kemper was arrested in April 1973 after confessing to multiple murders, including those of Pesce and Luchessa, and was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Does anyone have memories or information about Mary Ann Pesce, where she was headed that day, or the area where she and Anita were picked up?
