Investigating Bill Sink's Murder

All of us were shocked by the senseless murder of classmate Bill Sink in San Francisco.  Although many of you might have known about it, it was first called to the attention of your editor by Sandi Bauman. Our team has been trying to get information on this crime, and we can now provide some details as found in the article below.  It focuses on the killing of the person who was in prison for committing Bill's murder.  We will continue looking for more details we expect to find in the original article and court records. From the San Francisco Chronicle. Sat,  16 Mar 1985      SAN QUENTIN LIFER IS FOUND SLAIN        A 23-year-old San Quentin inmate serving a life sentence for the brutal 1981 murder of a San Francisco bank executive was found slain yesterday.     San Quentin prison officials said Dana B. Holley of South San Francisco was discovered near the prison furniture shop, his skull apparently fractured by a blow from a blunt instrument.      Holley was convicted in July of 1983 of the stabbing murder of Wells Fargo Bank Vice President William Sink, 40, in Sink's San Francisco apartment.     Holley was linked to the crime when credit cards belonging to the victim were found in his possession.    Prison spokesman Fred Everly said yesterday's killing apparently was not related to race or gang troubles. No weapon was found. He said two other inmates have been identified as possible suspects.
