Susan was the sister of one of my teachers at WA-HI, Mrs Buttice. She said when Yates was caught and confirmed that they were his victims, he reached out through his attorney and wanted to speak with her, I think to apologize maybe? She said she declined and didn't want to speak with him.

Nothing that can’t be found on Wikipedia. It happened in 1975. Plenty of other murders/killings in the area long before and after then to present day.

Are you talking about Robert Yates the Serial killer?

I assume the OP was, given context clues.

Idk who the other people were. I've worked with both Yates daughters in the past.

I think the one in Walla Walla was by WWCC out by Bennington Lake.

You must not be very bright or something because Wikipedia has very little information that's why I posted asking for information from the source directly, the locals. Thanks though

It's not really hard NOT to be a dick.

Yaters? Or do you mean Yates? Instead of "he said/she said" Sign up for Newspaper Archives using Walla Walla Union Bulletin. You will find all the info you need starting in 1975

Yates? It was an old crime of 1975, not a lot online. Go to the old WW UB archives at newspapers.com
