Daniel Gonzalez

Who was Daniel Gonzalez? Click over to Dr. Cole’s site The Criminal Code for the entire breakdown on Gonzalez, who was born in 1980, lived in Woking, Surrey, with his mother, Lesley Savage, 46, and her domestic partner.

On Wednesday, September 15, 2004, Gonzalez traveled thirty miles, to the isolated coastal area of Portscreek, a place popular with walkers and runners, near Hillsea Station, Portsmouth.

Though he suffered multiple stab-wounds to the chin, and a minor slashing wound to the throat, King was able to fend off his attacker. Gonzalez muttered, “Sorry, I’m a schizophrenic, I can’t help it,” then ran away….
