The two girls walked to the Auburn Green Complex, where Collier had lived and knew was home to many elderly residents. After idling next to the swimming pool, they began knocking on doors; after a few unsuccessful attempts, they found the home of Brackett. They complained of thirst, and Brackett invited the young women into her home and sat chatting with them for more than an hour. Then, Collier went to the kitchen and grabbed a butcher knife, according to multiple published reports.
Wolf immediately stabbed Brackett about 28 times, while Brackett screamed and begged for her life. On the way to Roseville, riding in the back of a car, Wolf wrote the following sentence in her diary:. It was lots of fun. Meanwhile, the police investigated the crime scene, and due to their previous experience with Collier she had been in trouble for various petty juvenile crimes , they went to her house the following morning.
Detective George Coelho separated the two girls and began questioning them, Merriam said. Early on in the interview, Wolf admitted to killing Brackett. The two girls were arrested, tried and sentenced to imprisonment into different California Youth Authority facilities. She was released early from the Youth Authority on good behavior.
Wolf, on the other hand, was sentenced to additional time in prison after attempting to stab a guard in the face with a sharpened pencil, Merriam said. The last Merriam heard, Wolf was a free woman, but had been in trouble for drug-related crimes and prostitution. Wolf was sexually abused from the time she was 2 years old. Her father, Louis Wolf, subjected all his children Shirley had three brothers to brutal and sadistic physical and sexual abuse throughout the course of their childhoods, Merriam said.
Merriam interviewed Louis Wolf at his acre property, and many of the stories he shared with her about his own children are not fit to print in a newspaper.
In , Louis Wolf was convicted of misdemeanor child molestation and served days in the El Dorado County jail. Collier also had a difficult upbringing. Her mother had four children with four different fathers, none of whom she married. While it may be convenient to label the two murderers as sick or evil, Merriam said their difficult upbringing and their exposure to violent sexual abuse created the capacity to murder.
Merriam said this is not an attempt to provide a convenient excuse or dismiss the brutal murder of a peaceable elderly female.
