Herbert Mullin had everything going for him - he was smart, popular, and athletic. But when his best friend was killed in a car accident the summer after graduating high school, Mullin began to spiral. This traumatic incident is what many believe triggered his schizophrenia, which was then exacerbated by LSD and marijuana use. Mullin began hearing voices, including one from his father, telling him to kill because human sacrifices would be the only way to prevent a massive earthquake from devastating California. He would murder 13 people before he was eventually caught.
