Welcome back to postmortem. I'm your host Anne Marie Green, and today we are speaking with 48 hours correspondent Aaron Moriarty about the case of Katina Rose Salerno. In 1979, Katina was shot on campus at the University of the Pacific in California. It was the first day of her freshman year, and the assailant was her high school boyfriend, Stephen Burns.

Katina was just 18 years old at the time. Now, Burns was convicted of second-degree murder in 1980,

and he's been in prison for four decades.

Katina's family wants to keep it that way.

They have attended every single parole board hearing, 13 in total, to advocate against his release.

So, Erin, is joining us now.

Erin, thank you so much. Well, I'm very happy to be here. Thank you,

Amory, because this case, as you're going to hear, was eye opening on so many different levels. I've seen

it all, but I hadn't seen this. And so I want to talk about it. Yeah, we don't talk often about this

sort of component of the criminal justice system,

the parole system. So I'm looking forward to digging into it. I do want to remind everyone that if you

haven't already listened to this episode of 48 hours, you can find it in your podcast stream

just above this one. Go ahead, go listen, and then come on back. Katina Salerno and Stephen Burns,

they were high school sweethearts. They lived across the street from each other, but when

Katina tried to break up with him, Burns threatened to kill her. She left and she went to college,

and she was absolutely shocked when he turned up at the same college as her. They had discussed this before and he was supposed to be going to another college. They go off to their separate norms to settle in, but he asks to speak with her and she agrees to do so. She tells her roommate, I'll be back.

She never comes back.
