A young man pleaded guilty to a murder charge against him for the stabbing death of Lisa Thorborg at a hiking trail in Carlsbad. He was 17 at the time of the murder. He is slated to be sentenced Sept. 1 in San Diego Juvenile Court.
During a hearing held in late 2020, a detective testified that the boy's DNA was found on Thorborg's shorts, and that surveillance footage from the nearby area captured a boy resembling the defendant running away from the park about 15 minutes after police believe Thorborg was killed.Surveillance footage and license-plate reader data also showed that the boy's grandmother dropped him off near the park about an hour before the attack.
Police set up a camera in the park following Thorborg's death that they alleged shows the boy venturing along the trail on multiple occasions after Nov. 23, often barefoot and carrying flip-flops. He was contacted by police in early December and ran from officers, who took him into custody, at which point his DNA was taken, according to police.
Police and prosecutors have not disclosed a suspected motive for the killing, but testimony indicated the victim was not robbed or sexually assaulted.
