![]() He is currently serving several life sentences in Oregon for multiple homicides. Jesperson pled guilty to the Jane Doe’s murder in 2007. He also submitted a letter to the Santa Clara County District Attorney in 2006 admitting to sexually assaulting and killing Blue Pacheco. He would later confess to other Happy Face murders - more than 100, but only eight confirmed in California, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Nebraska, and Wyoming. One year later, Keith Hunter Jesperson turned himself into authorities for murdering his girlfriend, Julie Winningham. The author signed each letter with a happy face. In 1994, an anonymous letter-writer began sending confessions to the Oregonian claiming to have committed nearly five murders along the west coast. Skiple’s identification comes three years after the Sheriff’s Office of Cold Case Detectives first partnered with a genealogy company to uncover her identity and 15 years after her killer pled guilty to her murder. Skiple, who was only known to detectives for years as Blue Pacheco because of what she was wearing at the time of her death, was the victim of a serial murderer known as the Happy Face Killer. Some 29 years after the body of an unknown homicide victim turned up on California State Route 152 in unincorporated Gilroy, the County of Santa Clara Office of the Sheriff has identified the Jane Doe as Patricia “Patsy” Skiple of Colton, Ore.
