Almost 50 years after a Bay Area high school teacher was stabbed to death while cleaning her classroom for the summer break, her killer has been named. On June 16, 1978, Diane Peterson, a 26-year-old English teacher at Branham High School in San Jose, was stabbed in the chest in the school corridor. Peterson ran, screaming, across the campus after the attack, as her assailant fled.
