SAN RAFAEL, Calif. —
Naso had asked Judge Andrew Sweet to drop the charges, but on Monday that request was denied. However, Sweet did grant Naso – who is asking as his own attorney – a delay in his preliminary hearing. The hearing had been scheduled for July 11th but now will begin on Sept. 9.
The 77-year-old Reno man is in Marin County jail being held in the murders of Roxene Roggasch, Carmen Colon, Pamela Parsons and Tracey Tafoya. He was pleaded innocent to the charges.
Roggasch’s body was found on Jan. 10, 1977, on White's Hill near Fairfax while Colon was found dead near Port Costa in Contra Costa County in 1978.
Meanwhile, Parsons and Tafoya were killed in Yuba County in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
According to the arrest documents released earlier this month, items seized during a parole violation search of Naso’s Reno home and a bank safety deposit box in April 2010 implicated him in the killings. Among the items seized was a list of 10 girls/women in 10 locations and “numerous photos of women nude or wearing lingerie/panty hose or in bondage poses. Some of these women appear passed out or deceased.”
In the case of Roggasch, the arrest documents reveal that Naso was tied to her murder by the connotation “Girl near Laganitas” on his handwritten list. Roggasch’s body was found 4 miles east of Lagunitas and she was strangled and bond with panty hose.
Testing has revealed that the DNA of Naso’s then wife was found on the panty hose used in the murder.
In the Colon murder case, the arrest documents show that Naso was linked to the murder by the connotation of “Girl near Port Costa” on the list.
In the Tafoya case, investigators discovered that the last entry made reference to a “girl from Marysville” and a search of his safety deposit box uncovered articles and photos on the young lady’s murder.
Evidence tying Naso to the Parsons murder was found at Naso’s home, according to the documents. Naso also told police he had taken pictures of Parsons. Logs and a calendar from 1993 detailing his daily activity with Parsons were also found.
Naso admitted to police he was at a flea market in Marysville on the day Parsons body was discovered. The flea market is located a mere 1.5 miles from where Parsons remains were found.
