Police suspected a crime lab technician of murder. Their mistake led him to hang himself, his widow says.


For months, Brown’s mental health spiraled, until finally the pressure overtook him, Rebecca Brown says in the lawsuit. Attorneys for San Diego and Lambert did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night. Now he believes it’s possible he could have grabbed Brown’s semen from the fridge instead of his own, he said. The headlines screamed, “San Diego police solve 1984 killing of teen at Torrey Pines State Beach,” as the Los Angeles Times wrote, and “Ex-crime lab tech dies before cops close in,” in the San Diego Union-Tribune. Tatro was on parole in San Diego County at the time of the killing after his release from prison in Hot Springs, Ark., on a first-degree rape conviction, the San Diego Reader reported.
