OCEANSIDE The families of eight Marines and one Stockton sailor who died when their amphibious assault vehicle sank off the Southern California coast last summer plan to sue the manufacturer of the vehicle that resembles an armored seafaring tank, their lawyers announced Thursday, a day before the anniversary of the accident.
BAE Systems knew for a decade or more about a design defect that makes it nearly impossible for troops to open the cargo hatches and escape the 26-ton amphibious vehicles when they sink, attorney Eric Dubin said at a news conference in Oceanside, the city bordering Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base, where most of the troops were based.
At 6-feet-1-inch tall, she was beautiful and energetic but also, friends said, could be quite reserved.
She s been missing for almost 25 years.
She was last seen around 2 a.m. on May 25, 1996, by Cal Poly students. She walked home from a party somewhere in Mustang Circle, a dense neighborhood of apartment buildings and fraternity houses.
She left behind her wallet, containing identification and her ATM card. The wallet was sitting on a table in her room when friends called university police to report her missing, according to an article by The Stockton Record.
The last person known to have seen her alive was Paul Flores, who witnesses said accompanied her on the walk home from the party.
