Text: Sometime after sunrise on August 16, a body was seen floating in the bay. Berkeley Police Detective Fred Eihl arrived at the Berkeley Dump landfill area shortly after 11 a.m. Other police officers, as well as a number of civilians, were already at the scene. Detective Eihl testified that he was standing about 30 feet from the body, which was floating facedown. Some white of the upper clothing was visible, but neither the face nor the legs could be seen. Defendant was standing about 15 feet behind Eihl, or about 45 feet from the body. As personnel from the coroner's office began to remove the body from the water, while the face was still not visible and before Eihl could tell whether the body was male or female, defendant said, That's Mary. On August 17, police divers recovered Greg's body from the bottom of the bay at a point 30 feet from the shore.
