After four decades, Dorothy ‘Toby’ Tate murder solved

San Luis Obispo County detectives, working with renowned genetic genealogist CeCe Moore, identified two suspects in the 1983 Highway 1 killing

SAN LUIS OBISPO

COUNTY — A family received some resolution in a question they have had for over four decades — who murdered Dorothy “Toby” Tate?

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office announced on Tuesday, Jan. 20, that they have finally solved the Nov. 15, 1983, murder of Toby. Back in 1983, deputies responded to a report of a suspicious van parked at a turn-

out along Highway 1, approximately 3 miles north of Hearst Castle. Inside the van, detectives discovered the body of Toby, who had been fatally shot. The case initially yielded no known suspects and quickly became an unsolved, cold, “whodunit” case.

The Detectives

The detectives assigned to work on the case included San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Detectives Clint Cole and Jeff Robasciotti. About two years following Cole’s retire-

ment in 2023, he returned to the department to help with some of the county’s still unsolved and cold cases. One of which included Toby’s murder, a case he and Robasciotti decided to work on in 2018.

Cole is known for his work on solving the Nancy Woodrum and Kristin Smart cases. Robasciotti has been with the department for nearly 40 years. After retiring in 2018, he shortly returned to work as a reserve detective, assigned to the county’s sexual assault felony enforce-

ment unit, where he supervises the 290 registered sex offenders within the county.

Basically, you can’t keep these two from working to solve crime mysteries.

They have a long history of working together in the department. While Cole was pulled into working on the Smart case, Rabosciotti had his nose to the ground searching for who killed Toby.

“It’s nice to have somebody to bounce things off of each other,” Cole told Atascadero News.

Back in 1983, detectives leaned into theft as the motive for Toby’s murder. Toby, who was travelling through the Central Coast with her two dogs, was shot while seated in the driver’s seat through the window. The suspects then pulled her into the back of the van. An autopsy showed no signs of sexual assault, so with some items missing, robbery was left as the motive.

Toby’s brand new Nikon camera was missing, along with her purse and other belongings.

ATASCADERO — After hearing concerns about the Atascadero Unified School District’s special education programs over the first few months of his tenure, Superintendent Dr. Tom Bennett brought in a colleague to assess the programs. At the district’s Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20, the first after AUSD’s winter break, the trustees received the first feedback from that assessment.

Student Intervention Services (SIS) Consultant Mary Ellen Nest, with whom Bennett worked during his time in San Diego County, gave her report during the Study Session segment of the meeting.

“The intent of this item is to help us improve,” Bennett said in introducing Nest. “We should not be afraid of the things that

PASO ROBLES — When a national television producer called last summer, Camille DeVaul did not immediately think of spotlights or studio lights. She thought of Nancy Woodrum.

The third episode, “No Sign of Nancy,” which aired Wednesday, Jan. 21, centers on the 2018 murder of Woodrum, a Paso Robles hairdresser, mother, grandmother and friend who was killed in her home on Cinco de Mayo (May 5).

For DeVaul, the opportunity marked a full-circle moment — from community member who followed the crime in local headlines, to journalist who

Last July, DeVaul, content editor for the Paso Robles Press, was interviewed by CBS Documentaries for a new true crime series created by No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben. The series, “Harlan Coben’s Final Twist,” premiered Jan. 7 on the CBS Television Network and is streaming on Paramount+.

revisited the case years later, to a contributor helping tell Woodrum’s story on a national stage.

“I was first introduced to Nancy’s case just as a resident in the community,” DeVaul said.

“I remember seeing it on the news and online, but it didn’t really grab my attention until I started working in local journalism.”

That changed in 2023, when the fifth anniversary of Woodrum’s murder approached.

Around the same time, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s

ATASCADERO — The City of Atascadero and A-town Park celebrated recent improvements to the park’s outdoor skate area with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that drew a large crowd of community members, city leaders, and riders of all ages.

Traditionally known as an indoor skate park, A-town Park has long partnered with the city to

enhance its outdoor facilities. The latest upgrades focus on improving safety, accessibility, and versatility for both skateboarders and scooter riders, reflecting the park’s growing and diverse user base.

Terrie Banish, director of community services and promotions for the City of Atascadero, said the project was the result of ongoing collaboration between the city and the park’s operators.

TATE MURDER

CONTINUED FROM A1

Her sister Priscilla recalls being told at the time of the crime that Toby may have been seen by the suspects cashing a $400 check nearby, though that information was not within the case files.

Initially, no suspects came up for detectives for many years. According to Cole, some local men were checked out, but still no hits.

Two years later, Toby’s camera was found at a pawn shop in Bakersfield after the family was able to provide the camera’s serial number. This led to some people of interest, men who at

one time possessed the camera. Still, no one fit the bill. By the mid 1980s, the case was considered cold. Despite the cold temp of the case, not all was lost for detectives. Found at the scene was a Coca-Cola can with fingerprints and drops of blood not belonging to Toby. The evidence was kept in great condition, most likely in hopes of using the blood evidence for blood typing — a method commonly used before DNA to rule suspects out by comparing blood types. “In a homicide, you collect everything,” Cole explained. “They were just collecting everything. The coke can was far

The case, over 40 years later, is now considered closed.

The Sheriff’s office said in a press release: Given the totality of the evidence, the Sheriff’s Office has requested and received review by the District Attorney’s Office, confirming that sufficient probable cause exists to support prosecution

are going wrong. We should understand where we’re at and what we should do.”

In beginning her presentation, Nest praised the board for their work.

“Atascadero is lucky to have such a supportive board. You’re doing a great job,” she said. “I would like to focus on some systems we can improve in.”

First, Nest pointed out that the district as a whole needs to be more consistent with the Multi-System Tiers of Support to identifying and helping those who need special attention.

“I see that in some schools the MTSS is there, but I don’t see the consistent implementation in all schools,” Nest said. “We have to take a look at our universal instructional strategies at every school.”

EDITOR INTERVIEWED

Nest said the next system to improve on is the general ed interventions for struggling students; she again asked for more consistency in deciding whether to have a student moved to a special instruction plan (IEP) or remaining in GE while removing barriers to help them excel (504 Plan).

Trustee Rebekah Koznek asked what data educators need to concentrate on to reach their goal. Assistant Superintendent EJ Rossi mentioned curricular testing as one part of the data, while Koznek herself listed behaviorial data, with Nest mentioned social-emotional learning (SEL) interventions as another tool.

“I wouldn’t say it’s not robust enough,” Nest said. “It’s not reviewed and monitored as frequently as it

Detective Clint Cole, the lead investigator on the case, retired. DeVaul saw an opportunity to revisit the investigation through the eyes of the detective who led it.

She spent weeks reviewing press releases, court records and public information, building notes before sitting down with Cole for an in-depth interview. The resulting article reflected on the case five years later, tracing the investigation from its earliest days through the arrest and conviction of Carlo Flores, a contractor who had worked at Woodrum’s home.

Cole’s candor stood out to DeVaul. During their conversation, he openly reflected on decisions he wished he had handled differently — including an early phone interview with Flores, whom he initially contacted as a potential witness rather than a suspect.

“That honesty is not something you usually get from law enforcement,” DeVaul said. “He talked about missteps and how, in his mind, the case

had the suspects been alive. The case has now been officially closed as “exceptionally cleared.”

Moore encourages members of the public to upload their DNA profiles to sites such as GEDMatch, FamilyTreeDNA, and DNA Justice to help create more genetic connections in unsolved cases. Cole says the Sheriff’s office is looking forward to working with Moore to close more cases using forensic genealogy to help solve them.

“The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s detective division solved his case, because without the work of the investigators back in ‘83, collecting the blood evidence, collecting the

should be. That is difficult, but we have the data.”

Koznek asked whether the focus should be helping the student under intervention programs should be served within that program or whether the goal should be to get them to improve to where they don’t need the program anymore. Nest answered that it’s best to improve to where they don’t need the special instruction, and used her granddaughter’s experience as an example.

“My granddaughter had a 504 Plan for text anxiety and they were able to make changes to the way she took her tests,” she recalled. “This year, my daughter shared with me ‘I don’t think we’re extending this plan,’ which meant she was going back to GE status, and when my granddaughter found out, she had a proud look on her face, she saw it as a real accomplishment.

could have been solved even faster.”

The investigation ultimately hinged on geofencing data, which placed Flores near Woodrum’s home at the time of her murder.

Without that digital evidence, Cole acknowledged, Flores might never have returned to the center of the investigation.

That detail, DeVaul said, underscores the broader significance of the case.

“Nancy’s case shows the importance of geofencing and how critical it can be, especially in cases where DNA isn’t what solves it,” she said.

CBS producers later told DeVaul that her fiveyear anniversary article helped draw their attention to Woodrum’s story. They were researching local coverage nationwide when they came across the Paso Robles Press reporting.

“They told me that having that article accessible online and in print helped push them to want to tell Nancy’s story,” DeVaul said. “That meant a lot, because sometimes it feels like local journalism just disappears into the atmosphere.”

For DeVaul, the interview process itself was a

coke can, they had to do their job right to allow technology to catch up 43 years later. So it’s really a team effort,” Robasciotti explained.

Both detectives expressed how thankful they are to have Sheriff Ian Parkinson support their efforts.

“Sheriff [Ian] Parkinson is amazing in his support of what Clint does ... We talk to other cold case units and they can’t get funding,” Robasciotti says. “They can’t get this, they can’t do that. They can’t do a lot of the tests that we’re able to get done.”

“It’s truly not an exaggeration,” Cole added. “Sheriff Parkinson has never said

“So yes, the goal is to show improvement so they don’t need it anymore.”

Nest also mentioned the shortage of qualified special ed instructors and para-educators to help at-need students.

“It’s difficult to find people in field, and those who are well qualified. This is a statewide issue,” she said. “Which then mean contracting, which is expensive. And that goes back with consistency and the interventions. If we get the system stronger, we can bring down cost with less special ed referrals.”

When Bennett asked Nest what the No. 1 priority is for educators, Nest answered that it was to “empower leader to empower people below them; make sure they have the information they need.

“Teachers I’ve talked with, they want to do the best they can,” she concluded. “They just need knowledge, guidance, and support.”

shift in perspective. Accustomed to asking questions, she found herself on the other side of the camera, recounting the case not only as a reporter but as a resident who lived through its aftermath.

“It was surreal,” she said. “There was a lot of pressure to do right by Nancy — to tell her story accurately, but also with heart. She was a real person who mattered deeply to people here.”

The episode places Woodrum’s murder alongside other complex cases featured in the series.

The premiere episode, “Billy & Billie Jean,” explores a double homicide tied to cyberbullying and a bizarre neighborhood conflict, while the second episode, “Gambler’s Debt,” follows the killing of a successful businesswoman amid tangled financial motives.

Coben’s series aims to peel back layers in cases that initially seemed straightforward but revealed unexpected twists — a framework that producers felt fit the Woodrum investigation.

DeVaul has previously contributed to national coverage, including appearances on Court TV during the Paul Flores trial for the murder of Kristin Smart. Still, she said, telling a story

no. These cases are expensive ... I don’t have to worry about it, because Sheriff Parkinson supports these cases. We don’t hear that much.”

The Sheriff’s Office wishes to thank Parabon Nanolabs and Head Geanologist CeCe Moore, Othram Labs, Shelby Liddell with the Sheriff’s Crime Lab, and Dominick Rostenberg from the Phoenix Police Department.

“This case demonstrates the power of modern forensic science and the commitment of Detective Cole, who never stopped working to bring justice to victims and their families,” said Sheriff Ian Parkinson.

Earlier in the meeting, after the board has approved the Annual Financial Statements (Audit Report) for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2025, Kendyl Darnell, the assistant supertintendent for business services, announced that the district has established a 90-Day Budget Task Force in response to significant and ongoing financial deficits across AUSD.

Darnell said the Task Force would take place over a 90-day period and would be made up of people on the district staff.

“We would like to respond with framework with transparency and a proactive process,” Darnell said. “Intent is not to make decisions, but to give recommendations.”

Darnell said the recommendations would be presented in March.

The Board of Trustees will next meet on Tuesday, Feb. 3, with open session starting at 7 p.m.

rooted in her hometown carries particular weight.

“This is a story about one of our own,” she said. “Something horrific happened to her, and that’s not something we should forget just because time has passed or because the case was solved.” She also sees the moment as a reminder of the role local newspapers play in preserving community history.

“All national stories start locally,” DeVaul said. “Without reporters on the ground, these stories don’t get told. We’re historians in a way — documenting what happens day to day, even when it doesn’t seem significant in the moment.”

As Woodrum’s story reaches a national audience, DeVaul hopes viewers remember not just the crime, but the person at its center — and the importance of supporting local journalism that keeps such stories alive.

“Every word matters,” she said. “Years from now, these articles become the record. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to local news and support it — because once it’s gone, people realize how much they needed it.”

As part of the project, the city completed a mill and overlay of the outdoor skating surface, a rehabilitation process typically performed every five years. The new surface provides smoother riding conditions and improved durability. In addition, ramps were relocated and new rails were added, resulting in a reconfigured layout that offers larger, more fluid skate areas while maintaining dedicated features for scooter riders.

Both the paint and awning were due for replacement and now give the facility a refreshed and welcoming appearance.

who work closely with the city to maintain a safe, supervised, and inclusive environment.

Funding for the mill and overlay was provided through the city’s General Fund. Additional exterior improvements, including new paint and a bright orange canvas awning displaying the city logo and skate park name, were funded through the Building Maintenance and Replacement Funds.

The ribbon-cutting event was held at A-town Park, George C. Beatie Skate Park, located at 5493 Traffic Way, and included members of the Atascadero City Council, city staff, and local families. Attendees toured the upgraded facility and celebrated the city’s investment in recreational infrastructure for local youth.

A-town Park has been operated for the past 17 years by Kevin and Andrea Campion,

The park offers youth classes, camps, and family-oriented evening events, making it a hub for local recreation.

The facility includes 8,000 square feet of indoor skating space and 7,000 square feet of outdoor areas. A-town Park also offers full equipment rentals and a fully stocked pro shop. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 2 to 6 p.m., Saturday from noon to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Free

skate is available for students on weekdays from 2 to 4 p.m., with additional skating available for $5 using a punch pass.

A-town Park has also played a role in developing elite talent. The park has been involved with the Monster SK8 program and has served as a starting point for several professional riders. Among them is professional scooter champion Chris Farris, who has earned multiple international titles and ranked No. 1 in the United States. Claire Parks, a two-time world champion, recently returned from Tokyo

after earning a silver medal at a world competition.

City officials and the Campions hope the upgrades will encourage greater community participation and attract more visitors to the park.

“These improvements encourage increased participation in the programs offered and attract more visitors to enjoy both skateboarding and scooter riding at the park,” Banish said.
