James and Essie Effron owned and operated a store in San Diego, CA that had become an institution. They were known for their kindness, their integrity and their concern for their customers as individuals.
In 1977, Essie was diagnosed with cancer and had to have abdominal surgery. Not knowing what the future state of her health would be, she and James made a decision to close down the store so that they could spend all of their time together.
They then began a going-out-of business sale. To help with the sale, an individual named Jose Gonzalez was hired as a salesman.
After the store closed for the day on November 21, 1977, and in a matter of minutes, all of the dreams which James and Essie shared of spending their retirement years together were shattered by Jose Gonzalez.
Along with an accomplice, Gonzalez tied up the Effrons in the basement of their store and bludgeoned them to death.
Jose Gonzalez was convicted of the murders and was sentenced to life in prison. Gonzalez's accomplices in the crime were never brought to trial. This will be parole number 8 for killer Gonzalez.
Please write to the Board of Parole hearings and ask that Gonzalez be denied parole, and required to serve out his full term.
