Who was Arlis Perry?
Arlis Perry, a newlywed 19-year-old North Dakota native, was killed in Stanford Memorial Church on the grounds of Stanford University on October 12, 1974. Her murder remains unsolved as of late 2013.
She was found murdered with an ice pick in the church in the early morning hours of October 13, 1974. Perry was sexually assaulted with altar candles.
David Berkowitz, the notorious "Son of Sam" killer from New York City, mentioned the Perry murder in a few letters, suggesting that he heard details of the crime from "Manson II", the culprit. In the San Jose Mercury News, Jessie Seyfer noted that "investigators interviewed [Berkowitz] in prison and now believe he has nothing of value to offer" regarding the Perry case.
Arlis' surviving husband, Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D., is a clinician and researcher in children's mental health and the neurosciences, and an internationally-recognized authority on children in crisis. Dr. Perry is a prominent debunker of "Satanic Panic".
