48 Hours -- “The Boy Across the Street”

The Legacy that started CVU…

Catina Rose Salarno left her San Francisco home in 1979 with dreams of studying at Stockton's University of the Pacific to become a dentist, plans that did not include her high school boyfriend, Steven John Burns.

On the eve of her first day of classes, the two met on a dark corner of Pacific's campus, where Burns pulled a gun and fired a bullet into the back of Salarno's head. They were both 18 at the time. Burns was convicted of Second Degree Murder and sentenced to 17 years to life. Thanks to the tenacity and dedication of the Salarno family and Crime Victims United, Burns has now been denied Parole thirteen times.
