Herbert Mullin was a serial killer who terrorized Santa Cruz County, California in the 1970's. He would take the lives of 13 people before eventually being caught and put behind bars for life. But not everything was as it seemed in the case of Herbert Mullin. His victims seemed to be chosen at random, and he told investigators that he was driven to kill by voices in his head telling him that he was chosen to be the one who prevented a cataclysmic earthquake from devastating Northern California. He claimed that by taking the lives of his 13 victims, he saved the lives of thousands from natural disaster. Was Herbert Mullin an insane man merely suffering the effects of a debilitating mental illness, or was he in control of his actions and knew what he was doing was wrong?

9 RecommendationsI think this giant monster needs no introduction. Join Rachel and I as we discuss the life and crimes of The Co-Ed Killer Edmund Kemper. Kemper started killing at the age of just 15 years old when he murdered his grandparents in cold blood. But this was just the beginning of the havoc he would wreak in Northern California in the 1970's where he murdered 7 women before achieving his life's mission of killing the woman he hated the most: his mother.
We also discuss the upcoming dramatization of the Johnny Depp/ Amber Heard Trial, bringing Mindhunter back, and Rachel gets confused about who Norman Bates' mother is....

29- The Freeway Killer William Bonin- Halloween Bonus Episode
4 RecommendationsHappy Halloween Everyone! We decided that since it's the spookiest day of the year, we would celebrate by giving you guys two episodes this week, starting with Part One of a truly horrifying case that left both me and Rachel with nightmares. The case isn't Halloween related, however, this is a monster that could scare you any day of the year. We hope you enjoy....
William Bonin was one of three serial killers who would be given the moniker of "The Freeway Killer". During the years of 1979 and 1980, Bonin, along with four accomplices, would savagely rape, torture and murder at least 21 young men and boys, dumping their bodies along the California freeway systems. His level of sadism is unimaginable, and it goes without saying that we issue a strong trigger warning for this episode. Join Rachel and I while we discuss Bonin's horrific childhood, his early stints in prison, and the first several murders that he committed with the help of his four friends, Vernon Butts, Greg Miley, William Pugh, and James Munroe.
