Like 1975, around that?
You know, I did a little bit of research. I tried some of these.
Yeah, yeah. I obtained the police reports from the Palo Alto Police Department about that rape. And something that stood out about that was when he was sexually assaulting this young girl. He said, I have my hand around your neck, and if you scream, I'll do you in.
Eventually, I told him when I got to the investigation for Leslie Perlov's murder, I told him that I was investigating a death in the hills. that west of Stanford University. And I showed him a picture of Leslie Perloff. And this picture was the picture that was used back in 1973 by the sheriff's office as a flyer for any tips and leads. And he looked at the picture and he said, Stanford graduate.
Why do you say she's a Stanford graduate?
I never mentioned to him that Leslie Perloff had graduated from Stanford or that she even attended Stanford. And at that point, I realized that he recognized her because at the time it was on the media that she was a Stanford graduate and that she was associated to Stanford University.
He denied ever going up into the hills in that area. He denied hiking those hills or ever going up there. He was a Boy Scout leader, and he said that he would frequently hike in the hills, in the Santa Cruz hills, which would be further west of the location where Leslie was murdered.
Yeah, yeah. Or killing a young woman? In this investigation, if your DNA was on this young lady, why would you think your DNA was on her?
Your DNA is on her. Yeah. Okay? I'm not trying to find out who did it. Mm-hmm. What I'm trying to find out is why you did it. Mm-hmm. And I think you know more than you're telling me.
And I'm going to ask you, I mean, did you hurt this young girl?
My job is merely to find the truth in every investigation. And there's a lot of factors in that. A lot of it now, of course, is evidence. And the evidence that we have points to you. And the reason I wanted to talk to you is to give you the opportunity to tell me what happened.
Yeah. And I was hoping that, you know, looking at these photographs, talking about your past, talking about the events of your past, learning, I learned a lot about you, the type of person you were growing up, becoming an adult, living your life. You know, I was hoping that you could help me out by just giving closure to this family who lost this young lady. Nope. No?
Can you give me an explanation of why your DNA is on her?
No. Okay.
Straight denied that he did not know her. When I asked him, how would your DNA get there? He's like, well, I don't know. It's got to be a mistake. My DNA wouldn't be there. He just denied any connection to Leslie Provel.
So after the interview concludes, we booked him into the jail for the murder of Leslie Perloff. I immediately contact Leslie's brother and sister. I think Leslie's brother, Craig, was shocked. And Diane Perloff was ecstatic about the arrest. And she wanted to know when the next court date was going to be because she wasn't going to be there.
Both victims, there was an attempted sexual assault. They were killed by strangulation and both of them had their shoes removed and the shoes were quite a bit away from their bodies. And so I contacted the cold case detectives from San Mateo County and I informed them of the arrest.
I asked them, you know, can you look at your evidence to see if there's any connection with John Getrue and the murder of Janet Taylor.
Their criminalist was able to test Janet Taylor's pants. She noticed that there was a rip in the crotch area of Janet Taylor's pants. And she tested for DNA. And sure enough, John Getrie's DNA was found on the crotch area of Janet Taylor's pants.
The investigators believe that John Getrie was trying to rip off Janet Taylor's pants during the struggle to sexually assault her. It's believed that she fought back. By all indications, she was trained as a brown belt, and her family and friends believe she fought for her life as well.
