Murder of Arlis Perry Biography

Murder of Arlis Perry is one of the most popular and richest Receptionist who was born on February 22, 1955 in Linton Township, North Dakota, United States. Arlis Kay Perry, 19 years old, was killed in Stanford Memorial Church in Stanford (within Stanford University’s grounds) on October 12, 1974. For more than 40 years, the murder went unsolved. After DNA testing in 2018, police identified Stephen Blake Crawford as the murderer. Crawford, a Stanford security guard who claimed to have discovered the body, committed suicide just before he was arrested.

Arlis Kay Dykema was born in Bismarck (North Dakota), where she met Bruce D. Perry, her high school sweetheart. Six weeks before her death, Perry, a sophomore premed student, married Dykema. She was a receptionist for a local law firm at the time of her death and they had been living together in Quillen House in Escondido Village.

The case remained open and active for many years and was never officially closed nor treated as a cold case, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department. In 2018, however, Crawford was definitively linked to the murder following a more advanced DNA test. On June 28, as police arrived at Crawford’s residence with a search warrant, Crawford locked his door and committed suicide with a pistol before he could be arrested.

Terry interviewed Perry’s friends in Bismarck, discovering that someone on the Stanford campus had taken a telephone listing under Bruce Perry’s name. The resultant confusion when Perry’s best friend and Bruce Perry’s mother attempted to reach the Perrys at the fraudulent phone number apparently led Perry to call the number herself and speak to someone in residence there.

The Perrys got into an argument about their car’s pressure at 11:30 p.m. on the night of October 12, 1974. Perry informed her husband that Perry wanted to pray in the church alone. They parted. Bruce Perry was concerned that his wife had not returned home by 3:00 a.m. He called Stanford Police to report her missing. Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office officers went to the church and found that all the doors outside were locked.

Perry wrote this letter to her friend on September 27, 1974:

Serial killer David Berkowitz mentioned the Perry murder in a few letters, suggesting that he heard details of the crime from “Manson II”, the alleged culprit. In the San Jose Mercury News, Jessie Seyfer noted that “investigators interviewed Berkowitz in prison and now believe he has nothing of value to offer” regarding the Perry case. However, investigative reporter Maury Terry noted that Berkowitz had volunteered information about the case without being prompted, writing in 1979: “ARLISS [sic] PERRY, HUNTED, STALKED AND SLAIN. FOLLOWED TO CALIFORNIA. STANFORD UNIV.”
