Information About

Penny Bjorkland




Bjorkland awoke on February 1 , 1959 and told herself, "today is the day I will kill someone." She took a .38 and wandered the hills of San Francisco . She came across Norry, who gave her a lift. She thanked him, took out her pistol, and shot him several times at point-blank range.

The police traced the bullets to a local gun shop because they were unusual, "wadcutters", used primarily for target practice. Bjorkland was found because the owner of the gun shop had said that he had sold the bullets to her.

She confessed and was given a life sentence.
