In
the waning days of April, 2000, Vadim Mieseges hacked his landlady
to death at this apartment building, 4302 Fulton Street, across from Golden
Gate Park. Mieseges, 27, was a San Francisco State University student who
rented a room from Ella Wong, 47. After Wong reportedly nagged Mieseges,
the clean cut computer science student killed Wong then skinned her, dismembered
the body, and dumped parts of the landlady in the garbage. Mieseges was
brought to the attention of police after security personnel at the Stonestown
Macy's saw Mieseges take a wooden rod from a mannequin and behave as if
it were a sword. During the ensuing confrontation, Mieseges announced he
had killed his landlady. Police found a knife, marijuana, and methamphetamines
on Mieseges, who was ranting as he was taken out of the mall. The torso
of Wong, a Laguna Honda Hospital secretary, was found in a park dumpster
later that day, May 3. Mieseges is a Swiss national who was institutionalized
in Geneva prior to coming to the U.S. |
