it is so gratifying to finally catch the s.o.b. who did this.
let's hope more murders get solved like this.

three other unsolved murders from that time period

• David Levine, 20, killed on Sept. 11, 1973. Levine was stabbed 15 times in the back with a long knife in front of the Meyer Library around 1 a.m. Some have speculated that the murder could have been the work of the “Death Angels” — a group of black Muslims who killed white people in 1973 and 1974. Others think he was a victim of the Zodiac Killer.

• Janet Ann Taylor, 21, killed on March 25, 1974. Taylor was found strangled on Sand Hill Road near Manzanita Way. She was the daughter of Stanford’s former athletic director Chuck Taylor.  The murder was strangely similar to Perlov’s: died by strangulation, not molested, missing purses and found barefoot in raincoats. Cold case.

• Edward McNeill, 25, killed around July 18, 1976. McNeill was found on July 20, 1976, strangled and bound with adhesive tape in his Menlo Park apartment on Coleman Avenue. His landlady found him on the 20th and the coroner’s office believes he had been dead for two days before being found.

That's great news - and from his record the guy was one bad man, w/a juvenile conviction for a rape/murder in Germany and an underage rape conviction in Palo Alto in 1975. I wonder if that caused them to investigate him at the time for the Perlov killing, though, so many years before any DNA analysis (let alone good analysis) I'm not sure what they could have found. 

One odd thing about the story, though: 

"Perlov was a Stanford grad and soon-to-be Princeton University law student on Feb. 13, 1973...

Any Princeton Univ President is always said to be the happiest in the US because no law school, no business school, no med school.

Princeton had a law school from 1847 to 1852, but has had none since.  In 1974, President Bowen formed a committee to study the possibility of establishing a law school, but it deemed the cost was too great, so Princeton joins Brown and Dartmouth as the only Ivies without a law school.

And for Simpsons' fans, Lionel Hutz's framed law degree is from Princeton.
