And within a week of meeting, they had fallen for each other hard. And they started rearranging their schedules so they could spend more time together outside of school. Just young love. Oh, I love it. Now, Betty's parents had always forbidden her from dating. They really wanted her to focus on school instead. But that December, she did manage to convince them to let her go out with David.

But that December, she did manage to convince them to let her go out with David.

And she and David made plans for Friday, December 20th, which was going to be Betty's first ever date. So this was a big deal. And it's literally less than a week before Christmas. So when the day finally arrived, David picked Betty up from school. They spent a few hours together just kind of like hanging out before their official date that night. But David dropped her off at home around 6 p.m.

and then came back to pick her up a few hours later, a little bit after 8 p.m. Betty invited him inside. Of course, he had to go meet the parents. And the four of them chatted briefly for about 20 minutes. And then David and Betty left the house.

They told Betty's parents that they were going to the Hogan High Christmas concert and then to a party at a friend's house and that they'd definitely be back in time to make Betty's 11 p.m. curfew. It turns out they didn't really have any plans of going to the school concert. Oh. They actually went to visit one of Betty's friends and they left that friend's home around 9 p.m. Okay.

Then where they went from there is unknown, but some speculated that maybe they visited another friend along the way or stopped at like a fast food restaurant. But whatever the case, by 11 p.m., David's station wagon was seen parked at the entrance to Benica Pumping Station on Lake Herman Road, which was a very popular lover's lane area in Vallejo.

But whatever the case, by 11 p.m., David's station wagon was seen parked at the entrance to Benica Pumping Station on Lake Herman Road, which was a very popular lover's lane area in Vallejo.

They parked right at the start of a shift change at the pumping station, too. So a lot of people remembered seeing the car and saw the two of them inside. Okay. Many, many witnesses. Yeah. Now, around 11.20 p.m., a local mom, Stella Borges, was driving past the pumping station on her way to pick her son up from a local movie theater.

And when she rounded the corner by the entrance to the station, her headlight swept across the lover's lane, where she and the other passengers in her car could clearly see two bodies lying on the ground outside of the station wagon. Oh.

Now, Captain Dan Pitta's arrival at the scene was followed very quickly by members of the Benica and Vallejo police departments and also deputies from the Solano County Sheriff's Department. It was the latter department who did have jurisdiction over the entire area that night. Betty was declared dead at the scene. But when paramedics checked on David, he was still breathing.

He was just barely conscious. Oh, wow. Holy shit. Weirdly, that happens a lot in this case. Really? And it doesn't seem to be intentional. It's just a strange thing that happens with a lot of these killings. That's interesting. Yeah. So David was rushed to Vallejo General Hospital, but unfortunately it was too late. He did end up being pronounced dead at the hospital at 12.05 a.m. Aww.
