Who killed Evelyn Okubo?

One of Caroline Fujimori's natori students June's sister Evelyn Okubo was one of the California delegates to the Japanese American League Convention at the Palmer House Hilton, Chicago in 1970. Julia Yamaoka Thorn was the oratorical winner representing the West Coast and Hawaii. The event was interrupted when Evelyn and her hotel mate Carol Yamada's throats were slit. Carol survived. Evelyn's mother owned Mabel's Market on Madison Street in Stockton. Evelyn had devised the clever idea of listing the Sunday School girls so that everyone would have to take a turn in sitting next to the boys at the Stockton Buddhist Church.
