Her grandfather was Lyman Jones Senior, the father of murder victims in Ventura, CA, Lyman Robert and Charlene Smith. Anne had a personal interest in trying to get the word out to the people who were in Sacramento in the 1970’s because she knew the suspect was arrogant and was still in Sacramento right under everyone’s nose. Anne Penn aka Laurie was born at Mather Air Force Base and grew up in this serial killers hunting grounds.
