Sometime after closing on the night of Sunday February 11, 1973, the week-end children's sanctuary that was the Rolling Hills Theater in Torrance, CA, was robbed. The four employees still there when the perpetrator(s) arrived, were brutally murdered Execution-Style. The senseless and vicious slaughter of the four beloved victims at a place where parents regularly left their children for hours unsupervised, shattered the innocence of the era forever.
