Ennis Crosby

Ennis Cosby was someone who said "Hello, friend" to the people he met--sometimes even to strangers. He said it to his friend Phillip Caputo, the man Ennis played basketball with in the last hours of his life. He said it to his friend Stephanie Crane, the woman Ennis saw in the last minutes of his life. He might even have said it to the person who murdered him. When his parents' green Mercedes blew a tire at 1 o'clock in the morning, Cosby was driving by himself.

William Goble, 71, was in his San Joaquin Valley home in 1996 when four assailants savagely murdered him and brutalized his wife. Fresno County Sheriff Richard Pierce had no suspects. Hoping that money would induce a witness to speak up, Pierce persuaded Gov. Gray Davis to offer a $50,000 reward. Candelario Madueno's body was found in a Modesto alley last September.
