In the late 1970s, a series of murders shocked the city of Sacramento, California. The victims were found with their blood drained


 In the late 1970s, a series of murders shocked the city of Sacramento, California. The victims were found with their blood drained, and some had even been mutilated. The police had no leads until they noticed a pattern: all of the victims had their front doors unlocked. This led them to believe that the killer was entering the homes through unlocked doors. And they were right.


After studying the crime scenes, the police realized that the killer was leaving clues behind. They found bite marks on the victims’ bodies, and strange symbols were drawn in blood. They also found a book of poetry by a 19th-century French author named Charles Baudelaire. The killer seemed to be obsessed with Baudelaire’s work, and it gave the police a clue about his mental state. They began to suspect that the killer was suffering from a severe mental illness. 


The police began to focus their investigation on local mental health facilities, and they found a patient named Richard Chase. Chase had a long history of mental illness and had been hospitalized several times. The police questioned Chase, and he eventually confessed to the murders. He said that he believed that he needed to drink human blood in order to stay alive. He also said that he believed that Baudelaire was communicating with him through the poetry. This was clearly a case of severe mental illness, and it made the murders even more disturbing. 


After his confession, Richard Chase was found to be legally insane and was sent to a psychiatric hospital. However, that didn’t stop the public from feeling angry and afraid. People were afraid to leave their homes at night, and there was a lot of fear and paranoia in the city. But despite the fear, the people of Sacramento came together to support each other. They started a neighborhood watch program and made sure that all of their doors were locked at night. They proved that even in the face of tragedy, community is more powerful than fear.

Michael Morrison and his girlfriend, Debbie Means, were brutally murdered on prom night in 1980. After attending the dance, the couple was run off the road and forced at gunpoint to get into another car. Debbie was raped, strangled to death, and then Mike was shot execution-style. After attending the dance, Mike and Debbie got dinner at the Carriage House Restaurant in Belleville, and then attended a small party at the abandoned Peabody strip pits. They left about 2:30 a.m. but never made it home. It’s believed that Mike’s 1963 Plymouth Belvedere was run off the road before the couple was forced at gunpoint to get into someone else’s car.  They were then driven three miles away to an isolated spot near Funk School Road and Jack’s Run Road where Mike was locked in the trunk while Debbie was bound, raped and strangled to death. Mike was then removed from the trunk and shot point-blank in the back of the head three times and left face-down in a ditch. Investigators soon zeroed in on M...

 In 2009, a woman named Charla Nash was severely mauled by her friend's pet chimpanzee named Travis. Travis had been raised like a human and could even perform basic tasks like using the toilet, making coffee, and riding in a car. However, on the day of the attack, something seemed to trigger the chimpanzee, and he viciously attacked Nash, biting her face, hands, and feet. Nash survived the attack, but she suffered severe injuries and had to undergo multiple surgeries. This case raised questions about the safety of keeping chimpanzees as pets and whether people truly understand the dangers of owning a wild animal. After the attack, there was a renewed debate about whether chimpanzees should be allowed as pets, and whether stronger regulations should be put in place to protect people and animals. Do you think that people should be allowed to keep chimpanzees and other wild animals as pets?

 In March of 2017, 14-year-old Bobby was reported missing from his home in Phoenix, Arizona. His mother, Sarah Linhart, told police that she had last seen him at their home the previous evening. She said that Bobby had taken a shower and gone to bed, and she assumed he was still in his room when she woke up the next morning. But when she went to check on him, he was nowhere to be found.  After Sarah reported Bobby missing, police searched the neighborhood and interviewed family and friends, but they found no sign of the boy. Two days after Bobby went missing, police received a tip that he had been seen at a nearby bus station. However, surveillance footage from the station showed no sign of Bobby. The case went cold, and Bobby’s family began to fear the worst. Then, in May of 2017, police received a tip that Bobby had been seen near a highway about 100 miles from Phoenix. Police and volunteers scoured the area near the highway, and they eventually found Bobby’s body in a shall...
