Theresa Knorr – 5 Facts About Her, Her Wife and Her Children
Theresa Knorr (née Cross), born March 14, 1946 grew up in California; she spent her childhood in a family that included her mother, father, and older sister. At the age of sixteen, she ceased her studies in high school and decided to marry a man called Clifford Clyde Sanders in 1962; the exact date of their marriage is September 29.
Clyde was her first husband with whom she had Howard, who was born on July 16, 1963, the following year after their marriage. As their marriage progressed, Clyde discovered that Therese was a possessive woman, who refused to trust her husband and constantly accused him of cheating on her.
These accusations always resulted in a big fight, and two years after their marriage, Theresa killed Clyde. Her weapon of choice was a shotgun which she fired in the back as he walked away from an argument after telling her he was breaking up.
During the court proceedings for the murder, people testified to Clyde’s kindness that rebutted Knorr’s testimony, which insisted that she shoot in self-defense; One of those people was Knorr’s older sister. The case ended on September 22 with Knorr’s acquittal. She gave birth to her second child on March 16 the following year.

The marriage ended within a year, and in 1966 she remarried; this time to a man named Robert Knorr. Their marriage produced four children, the first being Suesan, followed by William Robert, then Robert Wallace and finally Theresa Marie.
The couple also divorced, a divorce that occurred in 1972 because of Therese’s distrust of her husband. She prevented him from seeing one of their four children.
She married two other men after her marriage to Robert ended. The first of the two was Ronald Pullman, whom she married in 1973, a year after her second divorce. The same issues that troubled his marriage to Estelle Lee Thornsberry also ended that marriage. Her last attempted marriage was to Sacramento Union editor Chester Harris, who married in August 1976 and divorced in November of that year.
