"On Monday, Aug. 9, 1982, a group of fisherman found a naked body wrapped in a sleeping bag drifting under the San Mateo Bridge. The woman's body was tied to a cinder block and bound at the ankles; her cause of death was strangulation. The body was soon identified as Nancy Galvani, a social worker who had recently moved to a women's shelter in the Tenderloin with her 5-year-old daughter Alison, after leaving her husband."
"An 81-year-old man was arrested in San Francisco on Monday on suspicion of killing his wife and dumping her body in the bay in 1982. Former computer programmer Patrick Vincent Galvani has been charged with the murder of Nancy Galvani, who was a 36-year-old social worker at the time of her death. The arrest comes after a yearslong campaign by the Galvanis' daughter, celebrated Yale professor Alison Galvani, to convince prosecutors to bring charges against her father."
Police arrested an 81-year-old man in San Francisco on suspicion of killing his wife and dumping her body in the bay in 1982. Patrick Vincent Galvani, a former computer programmer, has been charged with the murder of Nancy Galvani, a 36-year-old social worker. On Aug. 9, 1982, fishermen found Nancy's naked body wrapped in a sleeping bag under the San Mateo Bridge; she was tied to a cinder block, bound at the ankles, and strangled. Nancy had moved with her 5-year-old daughter to a women's shelter after leaving her husband and had filed a restraining order accusing Patrick of attempted suffocation and assault. The couple had a temporary custody arrangement for their daughter, and their daughter Alison later led a yearslong effort to persuade prosecutors to bring charges. Investigators obtained a warrant and found Nancy's 1973 Buick Apollo in the family garage.
