The killing of Diane Whipple remains one of the most emotional and indelible crimes in modern San Francisco history.
Diane Whipple, a lacrosse teacher at Saint Mary's College, was killed Jan. 26, 2001, in a dog attack in San Francisco.. Five days before her 34th birthday, Whipple returned from a grocery store run to her home at 2398 Pacific Ave. There, in the hallway outside her apartment, she was attacked by a massive Presa Canario named Bane. Bane weighed close to 130 pounds; Whipple weighed just 110.
Whipple was born and raised on the East Coast and had been an accomplished athlete her entire life. She was a lacrosse star and narrowly missed qualifying for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in the 800-meter. Her playing days over, she’d taken a job at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, gaining a reputation as an innovative and warm lacrosse coach who always kept a drawer full of candy.
Robert Noel and Marjorie Knoller wait to present their case in a vicious dog trial that determined the fate of their dog Hera on Feb. 13, 2001, in San Francisco. Hera was eventually put down.They had two Presa Canarios, a rare breed that originated in the Canary Islands. With their thick, muscular bodies and huge heads, they were sometimes bred for dogfighting in Spain.
