The cabin in which Wheeler's blood was also found in(owned by Shermantine),has been proven that Herzog also owned a key to the cabin,thus placing theory that Herzog may have been the one whom murdered Wheeler

 

Another cold case file that was opened due-to Herzog's confession was of a woman in 1994 whom was murdered and found burned in inside a barrel

It only took 3 weeks for Herzog and Shermantine to be taken to trial

 

Due-to both Herzog and Shermantine being convicted of murders in the 1980's,these are the first cases in Stockton history to be solved after a 13 year delay

 

The reason Shermantine wasn't charged with the murder of Howell was due-to lack of evidence
