5h 15min, jun 19, 1978 y - MARINE CARSON Richard Keith Body found

Description:

"Discovered lying on the shoulder of Moulton Parkway north of La Paz Road at approximately 5:_0 a.m. today [6/19/78] by a passing motorist. [...] The cause and time of death were not immediately known, although a spokesman said the body appeared to have been dumped on the paved shoulder sometime between 3 and 5:__ a.m." (OCR 6/19/78).
Note: this clipping is incredibly blurry and difficult to read. The underscores represent pieces of text that I was unable to make out. I am unsure whether the first time listed here is supposed to be7:_0 am or 5:_0 am; it most resembles a 7 to me, but given the context I think it is more likely to be a 5.

"[His] nude body was discovered at 5:15 am Monday [6/19/78] by a motorist. The body was lying on the shoulder of Moulton Parkway a half mile north of La Paz Road. Investigators said it appeared [he] had been thrown from a moving car" (OCR 6/23/78).

"The victim was apparently dumped from a car [...]. He was found by a fireman about 5 am [6/19/78]" (NCT 6/23/78).

"June 19, 1978, [...] found nude on Moulton Parkway in the Laguna Hills area. He had been strangled and was last seen hitchhiking after leaving his girlfriend in Carson" (SDUT 12/23/79 Map).
