Something that's always haunted me about Sam Bonafiede's story is how his name and supposed last day—May 6, 1971—were etched into Corona's ledger. It's eerie to think about that being his mark on history, a single line in a green notebook linking him to one of California's most notorious serial killers. I can't imagine how it feels for his family to know that for years, their loved one was just "Sam Bonafiede May 6" in some killer's records. While it's good that there's clarity and closure with the convictions, it's still chilling that Bonafiede's fate was reduced to those few words. Even when justice is served, stories like his remain a stark reminder of the human cost behind these tragic events. Let's remember Sam not just as a name in a ledger but as a person who deserves to be honored and remembered.
