At about 9:30PM, Wednesday, June 11th, Monica Dalto was headed home from LAX in a car driven Northbound on the 101 by her husband, Brian.  At that time a rock the size of a softball crashed through the vehicle`s sunroof striking Monica in the head.  CHP investigators determined that the rock had been thrown from the Wendy Drive overcrossing at Newbury Park.  Monica underwent brain surgery where surgeons had to remove fragments of bone from her brain and to insert a titanium plate in her skull.  She is expected to survive.

Russ Whitmeyer, Monica`s uncle, along with other relatives, has offered a $6,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who threw the rock.  To provide a tip, call Mr. Whitmeyer on his cell phone at 805-432-0054.  You may remain anonymous.  A code will be given, much like a PIN, through which the reward can be collected.  Or, you can simply submit the tip via Crime Stoppers through our phone line, text message or the web.  As with Mr. Whitmeyer, you`d be assigned a tip number.  Crime Stoppers will coordinate with Mr. Whitmeyer and will add to his reward in an amount up to $1,000.  Ensure that you include the words "Crime of the Week" when you give your tip.
