EAST COUNTY
About 200 people who live on or near Mount Helix gathered Tuesday night to voice their opposition to the placement of at least one sexually violent predator in a nearby home.
Authorities announced last week the proposed placement of 78-year-old Douglas Badger at the home on Horizon Hills Drive off Avocado Boulevard.
Neighbors also fear authorities will soon propose housing a second sexually violent predator at the location based on what looks to be a draft press release discovered on the San Diego County District Attorney’s website. It lists the home at 10957 Horizon Hills Drive as the proposed placement location for 63-year-old Merle Wade Wakefield.
