Murder suspect kept separate safe deposit boxes

Published July 26, 2011
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — Prosecutors say serial killing suspect Joseph Naso kept a safety deposit box to store items related to victims he is charged with killing, and another he used for money.
Marin County prosecutor Rosemary Slote said during a hearing Tuesday that the separate boxes are significant evidence in this case. Authorities say one of the boxes contained news clippings related to the killings connected to Naso.
The 77-year-old Naso is charged with the murders of four Northern California prostitutes with matching initials in the 1970s and 1990s: Roxene Roggasch, Carmen Colon, Pamela Parsons and Tracy Tafoya.
Marin County prosecutor Rosemary Slote said during a pretrial hearing that the safety deposit boxes are key evidence in the case against Joseph Naso. Slote was seeking to subpoena bank records to confirm the box belonged solely to Naso.
“He had two boxes, one with items related to victims of this case and a second with monies,” Slote said. “The fact that there are two safe deposit boxes is significant in this case.”

Authorities in other states are also looking at Naso in connection with unsolved killings.

Ondrell Harding, 21, is a suspect in the beating death of a 50-year-old man Saturday in Seattle, San Francisco police said. The killing occurred one week after Harding’s brother Kenneth Wade Harding, 19, died in a shootout with police on Third Street in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood.
Police believe Kenneth Harding accidentally shot himself to death as he tried to fire a round at officers, who had wounded him in the leg. The bullet that entered his neck and lodged in his head was from a .380-caliber handgun, authorities said. The gun has not been found, but San Francisco police do not use .38o-caliber weapons.
Harding allegedly fired at officers who tried to stop him for Muni fare evasion, police said. At the time, he was being sought as a person of interest in the July 13 shooting death of Tanaya Gilbert, 19, in south Seattle. He was also on parole for trying to prostitute a 14-year-old girl.

DA: Naso had bank box of items related to murders
By JASON DEAREN, Associated Press – 5 hours ago
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors say a man charged with killing four Northern California women kept a safety deposit box to store items related to the victims separate from one he used for money.
Marin County prosecutor Rosemary Slote said during a pretrial hearing Tuesday the contents of that box are significant evidence in the case against Joseph Naso. Slote was seeking to subpoena bank records to confirm the box belonged solely to Naso.
The 77-year-old Naso is charged with the murders in the 1970s and 1990s of four prostitutes with matching initials: Roxene Roggasch, Carmen Colon, Pamela Parsons and Tracy Tafoya.
Prosecutors say Naso also kept a list in his Reno, Nev., home that described 10 women, including the four victims. Authorities have not said if the remaining six have been located.

Chatman, who lives in Seattle, spoke at the office of civil rights attorney John Burris, whose firm is looking into the shooting for her family. Burris’ associate, attorney Adante Pointer, said he and the family have not decided if 19-year-old Kenneth Wade Harding was wrongfully killed in the Bayview on July 16.
Because of “shifting stories, changing allegations and retractions” by police, “the truth seems to be far from at hand,” Pointer said. “I call upon the Police Department to make available to me and to the family the fruits of their investigation.”
He said he wants to review all the evidence police are examining, including surveillance video, dispatcher calls, gun tests and witness accounts.
“This is a young man who was loved by his family,” Pointer said. So far, police accounts of what happened consist mainly of “knee-jerk speculation,” he said.
Harding was wanted for questioning by Seattle police in connection with a July 13 killing there and was on parole for trying to pimp a 14-year-old girl.
