A Virginia woman searching for her biological mother assisted detectives in solving a 40-year-old cold case slaying.
Christine Salley “always knew she had been adopted,” according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office. This month, Salley, 41, discovered her mother was positively identified as one of the victims of a mysterious double murder dating back decades, authorities said.
The remains of Salley’s mother, Pamela Duffey, were found by an archeologist in a “shallow grave” in the California desert in 1980. Her body was found alongside William Everette Lane. Autopsies revealed they’d been beaten and shot. Both victims were naked.
