27 - Death Angels Cult: The San Francisco 'Zebra Killings' (Larry Green, Manuel Moore, Jessie L. Cooks, J. C. Simon)
*Warning! Graphic Content!*
California's 'Death Angels' were a group of black Muslim extremists that took the lives of at least 15 people. Some believe the death toll may have been as high as 80. They operated during the mid 70's in San Francisco, but it may have crossed state lines. To climb the hierarchy of their group, members gained 'points' by killing white people. The more brutal, the better. This is also the story of two black investigators (SFPD's first) and the discrimination they faced in their department while working on the case.
