The State - News from Oct. 3, 1989

A 13-year-old San Joaquin Valley girl facing a murder charge in the killing of her father was also charged with soliciting two teen-age boyfriends to commit the slaying. Michelle Say was accused of letting Berto Talaveras, 15, and his cousin, Juan Valdez, 13, into her Manteca home to kill Ronnie Edward Say, 47, who was strangled, stabbed and beaten on the head with a fireplace poker in March. The two youths were found guilty of premediated murder and face possible detention by the California Youth Authority until they are 25 years old. Say, who was divorced shortly before his death, had moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to avoid urban crime.
