KTVU recently reported on the murder of a woman by a man living with her for over ten years:
Their records show officers had been called to this house in the past. Jennings said that the killing is Orinda’s first homicide since 2002.
The murder that took place in 2002 was the infamous Susan Polk case in which she murdered her husband at their Orinda home. I found out about this when their house came up for sale at a steep discount sometime later. I remember thinking the pricing to be quite low, and sure enough, that’s what happens when a murder happens on a property. I imagine the same will happen with this house in the future.
