Biography[]
Neil was a teenage boy in the early 1980s. He lived in Los Angeles, California and attended school at Stanford High School. He was best friends with another boy named Jeff.
In May, 1981, Neil and Jeff learned about a slumber party in Mar Vista hosted by their classmate Trish Devereaux. Decided to crash the party, they grabbed a couple of beers and sneaked about outside the living room window at Trish's house. They enjoyed watching Trish and her friends remove their tops to change out of their night clothes.
Eventually, they ended up coming inside the house and joining the festivities. During this time, escaped serial killer Russ Thorn raided Trish's house and began taking fresh victims. Neil went out the front door, but Russ caught up with him, stabbing him multiple times in the chest and abdomen. [3]
