Carrlene Susan Harper, aged 61, tragically lost her life on August 31, 1993, in Borrego Springs, California. She was a longtime resident of Pacific Beach, California, and was originally from Yuma, Arizona. Carrlene and her husband, Walter Harper, were both found shot to death at the home of a longtime friend in Borrego Springs.

The investigation into their deaths revealed that the Harpers were murdered, but details about the suspects or arrests related to the case remain sparse. The community was deeply affected by their loss, and nearly 500 people gathered at a La Jolla church to honor their lives and mourn their deaths.
