She had a boyfriend. He was actually going to the school in Utah. So they looked at the handle, but... When they did the follow-up investigation, he was in Utah at school and during the time of this incident.
There were numerous reported individuals by general public. Anybody that seemed strange or out of place were reported to the sheriff's office and they did investigate or at least follow up with those tips.
They weren't able to link any one person. to being in the area at the time Leslie was up in the hills or any reason for anybody to hurt her.
They continued to work it through the year, but as time went on, the tips just became lesser and lesser and the case became cold.
March 24th of 1974, a young lady named Janet Taylor was visiting friends at Stanford University. Janet was the daughter of Chuck Taylor, who was associated to Stanford as the football coach, athletic director.
The following morning on March 25th, 1974, a driver located a body at about 10.30 in the morning on the side of Sand Hill Road, which is actually San Mateo County. It's about a couple exits north of Santa Clara County.
Janet Taylor, it seemed that had similar sexual assault indications. Her pants were ripped. She also appeared that she struggled with the perpetrator. And it was also determined that she was strangled to death. Her shoes were also removed and they were a distance away from her body.
When the Santa Clara County detectives learned of this case, they immediately contacted the San Mateo County detectives, and they both agreed that the cases were similar, and they believed that it was the same perpetrator. And they started to work on the case together.
Arliss Ferry was the wife of a student at Stanford. She got in an argument with her husband late one evening and went to church. She was very religious, went to the memorial church on the campus.
Ultimately, the next morning, the security guard found her deceased inside the church.
I opened up the case and started to read it. There was hundreds of pages of police reports, numerous pages of evidence.
When I reviewed the reports and I looked at the evidence, there was evidence that was collected from her person, from her body. The pubic hair, fingernail clippings, scalp hair, the scarf. Those items of evidence I determined could be tested for DNA since the technology with DNA was much improved in 2016. And so that's when I decided to send all those items to the Santa Clara County Crime Lab.
There's a criminalist at the Santa Clara County Crime Lab, Kevin Kellogg, whose assignment is to work on evidence on cold cases. So I met with him and we determined these items should be tested.
I believe it was in 2018 that he told me that we located an unknown DNA profile from the fingernail clippings.
And so the DNA profile went into the CODIS database. The purpose is to see if there was an individual who had ever been arrested where their DNA profile was collected from the CODIS database. to see if there'd be a match.
There was no connection to any DNA profile in the CODIS database.
With Parabon Nanolabs, they take the DNA evidence and they enter it into the ancestry databases that are available, where the public, they put their DNA into these databases to see if there's a connection with other individuals to locate distant relatives and start a family tree.
That person actually lived in Palo Alto at the time of the murder of Leslie Perlov. Not only that, he lived three and a half miles away from the crime scene. His name was John Arthur Getrue.
They provided a lot of information about this person. One of the things that they did provide in the report, this person, John Getrue, was associated to a homicide in Germany in 1963.
His father was in the army. They traveled a lot as a family in the army. They ended up in Germany in 1963, where John Getrue was going to high school.
