Slain Morgan Hill Teen Marissa DiNapoli Was Stabbed in Back: Police

CARROLL COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUL 8 – Sarah Grace Patrick faces two murder and two aggravated assault charges after killing her mother and stepfather in February, with the case still under investigation, authorities said.

  • On July 2, 2025, the body of 18-year-old Marissa DiNapoli was discovered near the Woodchopper's Flat Picnic Area in Morgan Hill, California.
  • DiNapoli was reported missing on June 30 when she did not come back home as expected on June 29 and missed her scheduled shift at Starbucks, prompting a search that concentrated on her boyfriend, Martin Mendoza.
  • Surveillance footage showed DiNapoli and Mendoza leaving his residence on June 29 with DiNapoli visibly apprehensive, and her car was found abandoned near Mendoza's home on July 1.
  • Prosecutors allege Mendoza stabbed DiNapoli five times in the back with a deadly weapon, fled to Mexico, and was arrested on July 6 while trying to re-enter the U.S., then charged with murder on July 8.
  • Mendoza was arraigned in Santa Clara County on suspicion of murder, while the community plans events to honor DiNapoli and her family alleges police delays caused by systemic bias compromised safety.
