Keith Klingbeil
Est. time of death
Description:
"His destination may have been his mother's home in Chula Vista. But precisely what happened in the early hours of July 6, 1978 remains a mystery.
"Shortly before 3:30am, a motorist driving south on the San Diego (I-5) Freeway spotted a body lying on the opposite side of the freeway, three miles south of the La Paz off-ramp.
"When Thomas Wallstrom of the OCSO arrived at approximately 3:30am, paramedics told him Klingbeil had been dead only seven minutes. [...] Dr Robert Richards later determined that death was caused by an overdose of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. In the four hours before his death, Klingbeil had ingested toxic levels of that drug and a small amount of alcohol" (Last Ride, Ch.5).
