She was found murdered 33 years ago on Feb. 6, 1989. She remains the only cold case homicide for the town of Palm Beach.
“I remember her telling me stories about when I was a baby in Finland. She wanted to have a good, happy home for us,” said Patricia O’Neal, who is known as Tricia.
She also was known to hitchhike along Dixie Highway and frequent John Prince Park near Lake Worth, police said. Last month, on the anniversary of her death, the department sent out an appeal for help. Teinila was a good student but felt like she didn’t fit in. “I don’t know that she ever had a lot of friends at any time,” O’Neal says.
The couple had married on June 17, 1965. They met in New Zealand where Joan, a native of Great Britain, was working as a pharmacist at a hospital and Kivi was on a special mission following a 13-month tour in Antarctica, according to a wedding announcement in The Palm Beach Post. Teinila was a bridesmaid at their wedding.
His parents told The Post that what Kivi did was mistaken but that “they are positive he was up to no wrong.” He had been in the Gainesville area for only three days, The Post reported.Kivi had no criminal record. His widow sued the Marion County sheriff and the deputy who fired the fatal shot. saying the shooting was not necessary to catch him. The case was dismissed.
Teinila went on to graduate from John I. Leonard High and took some classes at Palm Beach Junior College , but she never finished, despite some notable work.O’Neal recalls her mother reminiscing about a college paper she did on the Emily Brontë novel “Wuthering Heights.”O’Neal says her grandparents told her that after Stephen died, Teinila “was inconsolable and distracted. So that’s why they sent her to Finland as a graduation present, to help get her mind off of it.
“According to my dad, my mother’s behavior became increasingly erratic and she was too difficult to live with. She said she threw him out.”O’Neal remembers when he left. He stayed in Florida before moving back to Finland around 1980. “I saw him one time after he had moved out.” When O’Neal started kindergarten, she moved in with her grandparents, but her mother held on to Andrew.“She kept my brother a little longer. She actually took him hitchhiking with her. And so eventually my grandparents convinced her to let them take Andrew also because she wasn’t able to take care of him.”
“She didn’t leave the house a lot … When I got home she would want to talk about everything. But it wasn’t really a discussion. It was a one-way speech — sometimes referred to as pressured speech.”“I remember at one point she told me the CIA was listening to her through some kind of dental implant. So she thought she had special knowledge that the CIA was trying to get a hold of … it was a constant quicksand of conspiracy and paranoia all mixed in together.
After a couple of weeks, she persuaded the staff to release her because she was missing too many classes. A week later, she acknowledged to herself that “I wasn’t doing well.” “It was very healing because I had thought that he just didn’t care,” she said. “Because he never tried to contact my brother and I thought he had abandoned his kids.”
“I kind of avoided conversations about mom’s parents when I talked to my friends or other families,” he says. When asked directly about them, he would say her dad was out of the picture and her mom had been murdered. “I think it’s easy,” O’Neal says, to dismiss, ignore or get frustrated with people suffering from mental illness, “but the thing is, when you’re dealing with people with mental illness it’s almost like you’re fighting shadows because their ideas are always jumping around. I have the benefit of time to understand her better and show more compassion.
