The street numbers of the section of La Osa that is around the corner from the Pocito Place address associated with Judi Spencer/Hartley/Encila are 1800’s - specifically, 1837 W La Osa Street backs up to the property on Pocito Pl. Additionally, I was incorrect when I referred to the property as a townhome; it backs up to some townhomes but it is a SFR.

This is a little over a mile from the 1200 block of La Osa where Diana’s car was found. It is NOT even remotely a direct shot, either - this is not a situation where the car could have been driven straight down La Osa and just dumped. You would have to drive out to Romero Road, up to Wetmore and then go a mile east before you hooked back in on a residential street and turned down La Osa again to get the car to the spot where it was found.

Interesting fact: the house on Pocito Pl. is about 6 houses away from where Vicki Lynne Hoskinson’s bicycle was found by her sister the day she was kidnapped in 1984. She was visiting her friend Jennifer SPENCER at her home on Pocito. 

Looks like the man who killed Vicki was executed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Vicki_Lynne_Hoskinson

Finally found it - clipping from the newspaper showing her car being towed away. It does say that she worked at the Eegee’s at Broadway and Kolb, but more interesting to me is the car’s location. This is definitely the La Osa that is further east, between Fairview and Flowing Wells. Where Encila’s MIL owned a townhouse was west of Romero. I would think that the cops would have said “Romero and Wetmore” not Flowing Wells when describing the location where the car was found.

I checked the copy of the police record I ordered years ago. The car was parked on the southside facing eastbound in front of 1253 W La Osa Dr as if she drove down El Tovar on Wetmore.  This is 3 houses down from the 1231 W La Osa. There was on N. El Burrito Thursday evening. A witness  saw Diana's car parked there around 9:30 on 10-23-1992 (Saturday). Because there was a party this would make sense why she was parked down from the house connected to Encila. I will try and post more clips of this. This site is not designed to upload huge files so I need to screenshot stuff and see if I can get under upload limits. Please note the number in the upper right corner is the Tuscon PD report number for this case 9210240588 and you can use that as a reference if you call in to Tuscon PD with any tips.

This is how the arms were described. Cuts and bruises with cactus spikes on them. This indicates Diana could have struggled with a suspect. A google maps search of houses in that area show cactus in multiple front yards. Multiple people have brought this up over the years in the forum and that was true. 

So Diana's path that night to the best of what we know is she left Encila's class at Palo Verde High around 9:30. Return to her apartment. Went to New Orleans/The Rock. Went to Tuscon Community Center (last sighted at midnight) and finally parked eastbound on La Osa indicating she turned on El Tovar off of Wetmore. Sometime after midnight she had to have been ambushed by someone or somebody which likely involved her falling/being thrown into a cactus. From there we know she was killed and dismembered. 

 

We need to find out the who killed her, the why she was killed, the how did it happen and the where the rest of her remains are.

Screenshot of entire article d99 found that confirmed Eegees location which was across from Greg Hatton's Chevron.

Newspaper photo of what Greg Hatton looked like at court in 1994. This is from the child abuse charges he and Angela Leeman faced for abusing Leeman's son. Greg was arrested in June 1993, sentenced to 45 years in June 1994. According to Angela Vicari, Greg and Diana knew each other and Diana worked at Eegees on Broadway and Kolb across from where Greg worked at Chevron (now an Exxon). Greg was never on trail or charged in Diana's case but many think hes a possible suspect.

This is a January 23rd 1999 article. Prion's defense counters Troy Olson testimony using New Orleans Lounge employee Eric Cooper as a witness.

Here is a 1994 article that is a bio on Robert Encila. Looks like this guy was teaching elementary school in addition to the classes at Pima CC.

[Lucas North-justiceseeker]

Was that recording studio the same one near where the arms were found? The fact Prion had been to that studio was considered part of the prosecutions case against him.

Here is a map of the distance between Tucson Convention Center where Diana was last seen alive by witness Raymond Scott Hall at around 12am on 10-23-92,  Encila's fiance's mom's house where Diana's car was parked at and the dumpster where her arms were found in the alleyway near Ferro and 7th streets. 

Diana lived at 3200 E Seneca in an apartment. The drama class was at Palo Verde High that Thursday night (10-22). 

New Orleans was on west side of Oracle between Wetmore and Limberlost. 

Hoping the map, the articles and clips from PD reports can help jog memories. We can't give up on the push to get this case solved.

It is not - Jim Brady’s studio is at Glenn and Stone. I checked to see if maybe it had been there and then moved, but found this: http://las-solanas.com/kwfm/personnel_jbrady.php

[D99]

Just for reference, this is the map of La Osa where her car was found and Encila’s wife’s property. The walking map looks the same and there is no alternate route. I will try and SS the map from Prion’s former residence to the 1253 W. La Osa next.

[D99]

OK, here’s Prion’s address on Schafer to the 1250 block of La Osa. Would also love to find the address of Mazur’s new apartment.

I’m sorry, HANDCUFFS?!?!? They found handcuffs in her car? I sincerely hope those are still in evidence. Maybe touch DNA could find something on them?

Yeah and according to these old articles and what we know it seems like the DNA evidence that could be tested include...

3 unidentified fingerprints on trashbags that could be swabbed and also prints can be compared to suspects. Those prints didn't belong to Prion.

The unidentified "brown hair" that "didnt belong" to Prion or Vicari.

Diana's fingernails which had scrapings. 

And in addition, the cactus spikes in her arms if they still exist could theoretically be tested to determine the type of cactus. 

With modern tech there is a LOT they can do. 

 

On a side note, according to court records and a newspaper article I found on Newspapers.com Gregory Hatton and a woman named Susan Finlay had a baby girl together in April of 1990 and in 1993 seemed be filing a marriage license with a Kelli Jo Lyon.  From what I found Greg did not start dating Angela Leeman until February 1993 or 4 months after Diana. It also seems John Mazur was married and divorced  several women. I found a Debbie Mazur, Tawni Mazur, Tatiana Mazur and Kristi Mazur. The women these guys were involved in could tell us some things I bet.

Today makes the 32nd anniversary. Hopefully Tucson PD can reopen this case soon. There has to be someone who can speak up. We have several prime suspects in Encila and Judi and John Mazur and Greg Hatton. What about witnesses at the drama class, the concert, the New Orleans bar? People to come forward in this case. Its not too late.

@avicari i remember Diana. She was friends with my older sister as well as myself. i was living with my sister when this ungodly act occurred. First of all, i am so sorry to hear about your family deaths and unclosure. Second, i remember my dad calling me asking if we had heard what happened to Di. Of course, i had no idea at the time. What i remember is i was at the moshtoberfest party and she was walking up to the door when i was leaving. She said to tell my sister that she would be back and that her car broke down down the way and that this guy was giving her a ride real quick. She never said where she was going. I asked if she was ok and she said smiled and said "i will be". I said ok and she turned to walk back to a truck. I had never seen this truck before and it was extremely dark so honestly i cannot remember anything about the description of it other than it was an old pick up, going off of todays styles, it was an 80s model. The man driving was in the shadows in the drivers seat. I couldnt see anything about him. My dad told me her arms were found in the dumpster behind my parents music store. I dont know if the truck detail will help but thats all i seen and know. Good luck in your matter and i wish you the very best.

I did not see this in the version of police report I ordered a few years ago. If you are out there you need to come forward and let the police know this.

@purplepants I am sorry if I sounded rude by my comment about the speculation. Thank you for wanting to help, I do appreciate it. This is still very hard for me, and I am barely able to deal with it but I am forcing myself to. I hope you understand.

I just had a big post written out and then clicked a few wrong keys by mistake and deleted it all. Sometimes I think it is more than a coincidence when i do that. Perhaps I was saying too much.

I do want to repeat that Greg Hatton really is a Major suspect on my list. If not the actual person then one involved or having more knowledge than he is admitting to. I always suspected him but did not vocalize it much until after he sent me a message through his old roommate Sheldon ( I think that was his name) asking if i still thought he did it. I don't know why he thought that. From the day her arms were found he would ask me "You know it wasn't me right?" and i would answer him that of course I knew he didn't do it. It made me more and more suspicious every time and since nobody would investigate him I made it a point to go over to his place even more and "hang out" with him. Soon after he got his new girlfriend Angela and wanted people around less and less. Then he didn't want anyone over and said Angela wanted to be alone. Seemed to strange for me so after 2 weeks of him not letting anyone go to his place I decided to go over there with a friend of mine and walk in without knocking, just to find 10 month old baby Stephen laying on the ground on his back. Just laying there, and as I walked in he started screaming. Still not getting up. Not moving. He had a large burn on his leg and was pale as a ghost. Angela was afraid to take him to the Hospital becasue CPS would get on her ass. I told her her baby could die and she needed to take him! I called CPS myself but because i did not have the address they did not go check on the baby. I gave them directions, and I gave them a phone number, as well as Greg's full name. So they could have gone, but again the authorities did not investigate Greg. I should have called the police to check on the baby but I was 17 and confused. I thought CPS would do their job. After a few days Angela took the baby to the hospital where they fond he was sodomized and his arms and legs had various breaks from pushing and pulling. He had cigarette burns and herpes lesions on his testicles. Does this sound like someone that could have possibly murdered and cut off my sisters arms? I think so.

Oh, and Greg was one of the last to see her that day before she went to the Moshtober Fest. She stopped by to see if he wanted to go with her. He told me this, and that he said no and was at home alone, reading. She had a crush on him. On my birthday 2 weeks before she was killed she asked me if I liked him and if I would mind if she went for him. I told her he was just a friend and i didn't mind but that I really thought he was not for her, and she shouldn't but that it was her choice.

Angela and Greg need to be questioned again. Was Angela afraid of Greg? How could she almost let her baby die due to the abuse? Did he threaten her? Is she still afraid?

I remember Greg telling me about a bar called the Hideout where he used to like to go. May not be significant, but it just stays in my mind. He spoke of it as if it was a real Bad Ass place for Bad Ass people.

Is there any clues to the identity of this Sheldon guy? Anyone know who he is?

@ Lucas North I do not know where John Mazure is. I didn't even know he existed until after Diana was murdered and he was already MIA. I most likely met him when Diana took me to her work at Bazil's but I don't remember. I did know about Diana's affair with her teacher, which is how I knew about him. I never did meet him. He and his at the time fiance had alibis. Hatton on the other hand, I knew very well and saw pretty regularly. He was foolishly dismissed as a suspect early on, until he was charged with sodomizing his girlfriend's 10 month old baby boy. He did not have an alibi. He was at home alone reading!! He did not read. Ever see a tweaker sit down and read a book? He was all wasted on meth which was his sudden preference switched from cocaine right when Diana was killed. He may have known Mazure. He knew a lot of people.

I see so much speculation about why her arms were cut off on this thread. Touching, the piano. I think it was because the person was crazy. Or perhaps people.

Hi Angela, if you are out there can you or anyone else for that matter shed more light on Encila and Diana's relationship?

Looks like Greg Hatton went to Santa Rita high, graduated 1981. In the 79 pic he looks like an angry child. In 81 looks more predatory like his mugshots from prison. I found these on Ancestry.com.

I'm Robert Encila. Let me help you sift through the forest of conspiracies. I have been aware of these forums for a few years now and have done my best to ignore them because I deemed it a huge waste of my time. 

But I do think you deserve some input from someone privy to this case, albeit someone acutely mistreated and wrongly accused.

Diana Vicari was a theater student of mine in the fall of 1991. She was an upbeat and positive member of a college acting class blessed with fun and talented students. One evening (it was a Pima College night class held at Palo Verde High School), Diana stayed a few minutes  after class to consult me on a scene project I had assigned. I gave her a short scene from my anthology to borrow, asking for it back once she got her own copy. She left the room with a male student, who was going to accompany her to the copy center a block away.

That was the last time I saw Diana Vicari.

Because police had to trace her whereabouts, it made sense to question me first. Perhaps I was, after all, one of the last people to see her before she disappeared.

The following week I showed up at the police station along with a few other people who had contact with her that day. I agreed to a polygraph exam with the others. All of us passed. That was the end of it.

We know the details of Preon's trials, etc. so I won't repeat those. Plenty of stories to immerse your minds in. I want to offer my assurance that you can save your energy by counting me out. I implore you to access critical thinking and to research material  beyond tabloid information. 

If you are among those guilty of falling prey to pure gossip and haven't made the slightest effort to confirm or corroborate, I suggest you check out of this site because I'm here to tell you a libel suit is about to commence so I can clear my name once and for all.

Come to think of it, I've been quiet for so long that I'll actually enjoy taking this to court.

I am so sorry that Debbie passed away before she saw any kind of resolution to her sister's gruesome murder. I had tried reaching out to confront her about her absurd allegations of my involvement, but alas, she was gone. I tried so hard to find her potential motive for accusing me. I just couldn't understand her keen interest in a non-issue. Here's my only theory:

In 2004 I ran into her at a karaoke contest (she was a very good singer). I happened to beat her in that competition. I don't believe she was upset about my victory, but she did manage to come up to me and start a conversation about her sister's violent death. I found the conversation inappropriate in that setting so I deflected the subject. Rehashing a painful and gory experience in front of dozens of people was inappropriate, though I'm sure she had every right to talk about her sister anytime she damm well pleased. I'll give her that.

So the timing of her blog was more than interesting. Was I now suddenly a suspect because I didn't engage in a public conversation about her sister's death? Seriously?!?

An affair with Diana? You better have proof when I take your ass to court.

This borders on insanity. If I was all she had, I feel really sorry for her family. It must have been a terrible investigation team.

If you all must limit your research to this forum, let me at least share with you that I am an acknowledged community leader with three decades of advocacy for children and youth. I value my career as a school teacher and as a church music minister. Feel free to interview any of my colleagues and family members. I believe you would even appreciate my daughter's humorous anecdotes of her dad's awkward attempt to catch a cockroach with a dust pan because he couldn't even get himself to kill a bug.

I am disgusted by this thread. This is my one and only commentary and will refuse to read any comments henceforth. I shall let my lawyer handle this from here. 

I pray for Diana. I pray for Debbie and her mother. I pray for you. May you find clarity and peace. And may you find better ways to spend your time.

 

So if Encila is telling the truth and did pass a polygraph that still doesn't mean anything. After all they are not admissible in court for a reason. I read the part of the police file where Diana's mom Kathy drove to Encila's house to look for her. Debbie and Angela confirmed the affair with their statements. I also read through that report that I ordered from TPD years ago and it has zero mention of anyone being polygraphed. Not even Lemuel Prion himself was polygraphed.

The bigger question is why is this guy allowed to teach high school after he was having an affair with his student? I think I believe Kathy, Debbie and Angela over Encila. Thats pretty interesting. You wonder who Robert Encila really is.
