CRIME FLASHBACK BY MAX HAINES News of the discovery of the body spread like wildfire through San Jose. The gruesome find ignited a spark which was to burst into a thirst for revenge. T he caller turned out to be Harold Thurmond, an un- employed gas station atten- dant. Harold, who had never been in trouble in his life, was married and was respected in the community. He soon revealed his companion’s iden- tity. Jack Holmes was an unemployed oil salesman who, like his buddy Harold, had never been in trouble before.

They readily confessed to the horrible crime they had committed, not neglecting to include all the gruesome details. HAROLD THURMOND JOHN ‘JACK’ HOLMES PREMEDITATED After intercepting Brooke as he was leaving the parking lot in his car, they forced him at gunpoint to drive to the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. The callous pair struck the incredulous Brooke over the head with a brick, rendering him un- conscious. They then tied his hands and feet with some wire and weighted down his inert form with a concrete block. All of this was premeditated, as the two men had brought the wire and cement with them for the express purpose of using them on their captive. As they tossed Brooke over the side of the bridge, he re- gained consciousness and began scream- ing.
