Richard C. Tully is an inmate on death
row in the state of California..
Crime
Tully broke into the house of a
59-year-old nurse, Shirley Olsson raped her and stabbed her 23 times, killing her.
In July 1986, Sandy Olsson worked as a registered nurse at the
Veterans Administration medical center in Livermore. Her specialty was
ostomony—caring for people who had colostomies—and she also worked as a
charge or supervising nurse. Typically, she worked Monday through
Friday, arriving sometime between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m. and leaving at 4:00
p.m. Olsson was 59 years old and divorced with two adult children, a
daughter, Sandra Walters, and a son, Elbert “Tripp” Walters III. For
much of the year she lived alone at 1556 Hollyhock Street, except from
October through March when her father, Clifford Sandberg, came from
Kansas and stayed with her. Olsson's residence backed up against the
Springtown Golf Course.The portrait of Olsson that emerged from the testimony of various witnesses was of a person of fairly set habits. When she arrived home from work, she locked the front door with a chain lock. After changing her top, she poured herself a glass of Coca–Cola and added a little bourbon to it. When her father visited, he and Olsson ate dinner together and watched television. She usually rejected his suggestions that they do something in the evenings because she was tired from work. Instead, she went into her bedroom with her drink to read her mail, magazines, and the newspaper. Olsson's daughter testified that Olsson went to bed sometime between 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. She first went through her house and made sure all the windows and doors were locked. Olsson was a modest woman who slept in a pair of men's flannel pajamas.
Olsson's father testified that during his annual visits to his daughter, she never had any male visitors. Her social life apparently consisted of occasionally going out to dinner with work friends.
