Case[]

Details: Sally Charlene Garrity and her sister, Sheri, were raised by their aunt, Lydia Henry, in San Francisco. Sally was a bookkeeper, but she also made money making and selling Native American crafts. In February 1985, she met a young man named Sal Guardado at a neighborhood bar and they soon began dating. A few days later, she took Sheri and Lydia to meet him at his job at a pizza parlor.
Just a week after they began dating, Sal proposed marriage and took out a loan for a diamond ring. However, the relationship soon began to deteriorate. He lost his job, and his car was repossessed, so they were forced to move in with Lydia. He did little to aid her in housekeeping, nor did he make much effort seeking new employment; he was spending much of his free time watching television or bowling.
Three weeks later, while visiting a Native American festival thirty miles away, Sally opened up to Sheri. She told her that she no longer liked Sal and did not want to be in a relationship with him anymore. As they left, he tried to take Sheri's van from her, but she did not let him do so because she needed to return it to a friend.
On May 23, 1985, Sally was given a ride home by a male friend of hers. When Sal noticed this, he became enraged. Lydia returned home in the middle of their argument. He asked her to get him some cigarettes and wanted her to leave immediately. Thirty minutes later, she returned from the market and found the television on. Thinking he was watching it, she casually announced she acquired the cigarettes. He came from behind and struck her on the head repeatedly with his bowling ball, knocking her unconscious.
Forty-five minutes later, Lydia awoke and found Sally dead. She had been strangled to death, possibly with a pet leash or telephone cord. Police and paramedics were on the scene within minutes; fortunately, Lydia survived the brutal attack. Sal fled and has been wanted by the police ever since. Lydia and Sheri asked the viewers for help on this case, not only due to of Sally's murder and the brutal attack on Lydia, but also out of respect for their traditional beliefs. According to their beliefs, tribal members who are victims of homicide or other horrible acts, such as drunk driving, become restless in spirit until the wrongdoer is brought to justice.
Investigators discovered that Sal was a convicted felon. He had previously served five years in prison for arson and attempted murder. The intended victim of the earlier crime was another ex-girlfriend. They also received reports that he may have fled to Mexico. However, three months after the murder, a witness reported seeing him at a fast-food restaurant in San Francisco. Police believe he is most likely in hiding in Mexico, however other places he may favor are Puerto Rico, Florida, and Hawaii. He is 5'10", 210 pounds, has brown eyes, black hair, and a tattoo of a heart and arrow with the name "Rachel" on his upper right arm. His birth date is July 25, 1951; he would now be seventy-two years old.
