A 73-year-old Oregon man received a 20-year prison sentence after pleading guilty in the killing of his 27-year-old girlfriend in 1983. Authorities identified the defendant as 73-year-old Mark Sanfratello and the victim as 27-year-old Teresa Peroni. Peroni was last seen walking into the woods with Sanfratello after a house party in Selma, Oregon, in July 1983. Her skull was found on nearby private property in 1997, and no other remains were recovered. Investigators reopened the cold case in 2024, reinterviewed witnesses and collected new DNA evidence before arresting Sanfratello in July 2025 in Chico, California. He was extradited to Oregon, indicted on first-degree manslaughter and pleaded guilty under a plea agreement that carried a 20-year sentence with a minimum of 10 years to serve.
