Prosecutors say he also extended a string of bizarre killings of women with alliterative names, with the bodies of two Yuba County women dumped in rural areas in 1993 and 1994.

Overview

  • Naso, 91, was sentenced to death in 2013 for four California murders of women whose first and last initials matched.
  • Fellow inmate Bill Noguera reports Naso privately claimed responsibility for 26 killings and maintained a "Greatest Hits" list, describing staged photo sessions with some women.
  • Noguera says Naso admitted murdering 19-year-old Pamela Lambson after posing as an Oakland A's photographer, challenging earlier suspicions that pointed to Rodney Alcala.
  • The FBI and multiple California agencies say they are reviewing the new information, and no additional charges have been announced.
  • Oxygen will premiere Death Row Confidential: Secrets of a Serial Killer on September 13, featuring interviews with inmates and journalists about the allegations.
