    THE SEX SLAVE MURDERS
    The True Story of Serial Killers Gerald &
Charlene Gallego
    By R. Barri Flowers
     
    It began as a fairly quiet early Sunday
morning on November 2, 1980 in California's capitol city. By the
end of the day, two lives would be lost forever and many others
changed indelibly.
    A gateway between the bustle of the San
Francisco Bay area, the idyllic beauty of the Sierra Nevada and the
gambling meccas of Lake Tahoe and Reno, Sacramento offered perhaps
the best of all worlds. It retained much of its cultural and rural
past while steadily becoming an urban and suburban center with an
eye on the future.
    Arden Fair was an indication of Sacramento
catering to its middle class and modernization with nice homes,
popular stores, and new businesses popping up. On this tepid
Saturday night, the Arden Fair shopping center was the place to be,
particularly if you happened to be a fraternity or sorority member
at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). The Carousel
restaurant, located on the east end of the shopping center, had
been transformed for the night/morning into a Founder's Day
dinner-dance celebration, courtesy of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
    Among those attending were CSUS seniors Craig
Miller, twenty-two, and Mary Elizabeth Sowers, twenty-one. The
attractive, All-American couple was engaged to be married on New
Year's Eve 1981. For Sowers and Miller, hope seemed eternal.
    Mary Beth Sowers fit all the adjectives of
admiration or envy: beautiful, bright, outgoing, ambitious, warm,
sensitive, in love with the world around her and the man she
planned to marry. "She was somebody that had a lot of bubble and a
lot of sparkle in the way she talked," said a close friend and
fellow member of Alpha Chi Omega, the sorority Sowers joined in
1979. "You got more than just words when she talked. You got her
feelings and her thoughts."
    Mary Beth graduated from Sequoia High School
in Redwood City in 1978. Her father was a nuclear physicist at ITEL
Corporation in Palo Alto. Following graduation, she moved to
Redding, California to attend junior college. There she won the
title of runner-up in the Miss Shasta County contest.
    Sowers began her junior year at CSUS,
majoring in finance. Despite a full course load, she worked during
the week at Arco Financial Services and on weekends at J.C. Penney
to support herself. Later, she worked as a ski instructor on
weekends at Boreal Ridge, a ski area east of Sacramento. Her
talents also included being an expert seamstress, one weekend
tailoring three suits.
    Mary Beth began dating Craig Miller in late
fall of 1979. Theirs was described by friends as a relationship of
equals. Noted one friend: "It's so hard to find two people in the
same relationship who are that much alike. So dynamic, outgoing,
and personable."
    Craig Miller graduated from La Sierra High
School in 1976. Two years later, he graduated from American
