ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Ill-fated Family

John and Marisa Perkins had three children together, Joe, Amy and Jade.

Unfortunately, the family did not have good luck staying alive. John died from injuries he got during the 1984 earthquake, Joe was killed by the Carnation Killer (a.k.a. Peter Flint) and Amy died in a fire. In 1985, both Marisa and Jade simply disappeared without explanation.

Joe's best friend was Cruz Castillo. They knew each other since high school. Cruz was a couple of years ahead, but they played football together in the same team and later had the same job during summer time.

Joe spent five years of his life in San Quentin Prison for the murder of Channing Capwell Jr., a crime he didn't commit. Joe married his true love, Kelly Capwell, in February 1985.
