Frederick Elmer Capin, aged 32, was discovered on May 12, 1975 in San Francisco.[13] He had been stabbed, like the other victims, dying from strikes to his aorta. It is believed his body had been moved approximately 20 feet as disturbances in the nearby sand indicated. Capin was identified through fingerprints when these were matched to those taken "by the state" due to his occupation as a nurse.[14] He also had served in the United States Navy, earning medals while serving in the Vietnam War.[3]
