unsolved murder of Michelle Matteucci
Michelle Matteucci, 13, was walking to her Daly City home after school and was just steps from her front door when she vanished. About seven hours later her father and police discovered her beaten, lifeless body in a neighbor's back yard.
Thursday marks the 24th year since her still unsolved killing. Her family and police hold out hope that this act of horror will not go unpunished and that they will at last know why she was killed. Without new evidence, the odds of that happening are narrow at best.
It's hard to understand that someone didn't see what happened -- her disappearance was as much in plain sight as it was traumatic. The Alta Loma Junior High eighth-grader was walking west toward the 100 block of Morton Drive about 3:20 p.m. with a friend as her father waited for her at the family home a half block away. Yet minutes after waving goodbye to her friend she was gone.
Daly City police Detective Gregg Oglesby said a group of kids walking behind Michelle and her friend watched her go between two houses halfway up the 100 block of Morton. She then reemerged, headed back toward the group and continued on alone. The detective says someone must have lured her in between the homes.
What happened next can be pieced together only through crime scene photos and autopsy reports. She was beaten, strangled and sexually assaulted.
Police, aided by the girl's father, spent the evening hours combing the neighborhood. Toward 10 p.m. they found her knapsack, purse, clarinet case and finally her corpse in the back yard of a house on the 100 block of Morton.
Michelle's brother Marc Matteucci, 40, was 16 when he came home from El Camino High School and learned that his sister was missing. He too helped look for the sister he described as smart, good and a little bit spunky. She had once helped him hide their uncle's shoes in the sand on an Italian beach during a family vacation. It was their giggles, that grew louder as he searched for his shoes, that finally gave away their prank.
"But she was just a little girl," The San Mateo resident said. "She never really had a chance to develop."
Oglesby said a profile of the killer points to someone who targeted the girl because she was such a good kid. He also believes the assailant knew her, something he bases on the person's apparent knowledge of the neighborhood and its residents. Somebody wanted her, he said.
Michelle's absence blasted a hole in the family. Marc Matteucci said his parents were racked by grief. He credits them with having the strength eventually to move on with living but said the impact of the loss is permanent, especially for his father.please contact Lt.
