California was just swarming with serial killers in the 70’s and early 80’s. The whole country was, but it’s safe to say that Cali had more than their fair share. There was Ed Kemper, the toolbox killers Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, they had Rodney Alcala, Joseph DeAngelo AKA the Original Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez, and the list goes on.

When Zachary’s mother, Cheri Lynne Brooks, offered for Vera to move in, she jumped at the opportunity. Vera just couldn’t see that these were terrible, evil people; they had been kind to her in the beginning, but they’d had ulterior motives…

Ed Kemper had been having fantasies of death since early in his childhood. He has always been sadistic, even in childhood. His mother was afraid he’d hurt his sister, so he was locked in the basement at night. Leaving the boy alone in a cold, dark basement with his violent fantasies made the situation so…
This is Anne Faber, and the selfie of her standing in the rain was taken just before she was kidnapped and brutally murdered. Anne was a beautiful young woman with her entire life ahead of her; she was heavily involved in the arts, theater, and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who had disliked…
