Keith Combs was my brother in law. I am also pleased to report that there has been a second person arrested in connection with the slayings. The preliminary hearing for both men is in September of 2011. My sister, myself and several other family members will be traveling to San Diego for this. This case may have been cold for a long time, but in the name of these men having a voice, and showing people that they were loved, we look forward to looking these 2 cowards in the eyes and letting them see that we NEVER gave up hope for justice and that no matter how long, we would never have stopped hunting for the killer(s). Justice has long been denied Keith and Cliff (Eugene). They died way too soon and are missed by all who knew them. I only hope once this is over, it will be the closure that they and all of us deserves. May they rest in peace.
May Keith Combs and Eugene Ellis rest in peace, there live’s where cut short by some worthless POS … thugs, and may there grieving families find peace and closure, in the name of our mighty Lord Jesus Christ.
I also believe that I served with Keith Combs as a Fireman Machinist Mate aboard the U.S.S. Vancouver LPD-2 back in the late 80s. Please correct me if Im wrong…
Respectfully,
U.S. Navy Veteran Machinist Mate

Ros,
Thanks for responding. I cannot confirm whether you served with Keith but the fact that you served, means a lot to me!
Thanks and please check back here, Vidster
@ Andrea:
i served on board the uss constellation with keith and eugene. i got a call from keiths wife at that time but i had already left the navy. i am glad that they caught those murderous sons of bitches. may keith and eugen rest in peace.
Keith was the husband of my cousin, Lisa. I only met him once- he seemed quiet, down-to-earth and gentle (like he would never hurt anyone). Did I get that right?
She is here in Southern California and the hearing is scheduled for tomorrow. Unfortunately, I can’t be there to support her, but she will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad they finally got the scum bags and hopefully there will be some closure soon.
God Bless Keith and Eugene.
Thanks for posting, Suzanne!
