GALT, CA (MPG) - On July 30, John Thompson was found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2022 death of Breanna Labat following a jury trial in San Mateo County.

Labat was killed December 2, 2022, during a domestic dispute in East Palo Alto. Despite a thorough investigation, her remains have never been located.

On Dec. 4, 2022, two days after the homicide, a FLOCK automated license plate reader camera in Galt captured an image of Thompson’s Chevrolet pickup truck at East Stockton Boulevard and Twin Cities Road. Investigators with the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office believe Thompson traveled to the area in an attempt to dispose of Labat’s remains.

On July 22, Galt Police Detective Sgt. Mark Fewel provided critical testimony during the trial, offering insight into the FLOCK camera system and confirming the vehicle’s location and movement within Galt.

Galt Police Department is proud to support allied agencies and remains committed to doing its part in helping families get answers and justice.
