On Sept 17th, 2006, Fourpeaked Mountain in Alaska erupts marking the first eruption for the long-dormant volcano in at least 10,00 years.  Also an audio tape of a private speech by Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány is leaked to the public in which he confessed that his Hungarian Socialist Party had lied to win the 2006 election sparking widespread protests across the country. 
But in the evening on this date, in a small unincorporated community of riverside county, three people lost their lives to what looked at first to be a fire of accidental nature.  Upon further investigation we see a horrendous triple homicide that would not have full closure until twelve years later.  Join us in this week's episode of California True Crime as we discuss the first Part of The Pinyon Pine Murders

For many, the Thanksgiving Holiday is a time to be with loved ones and indulge in an abundance of food while relaxing in California’s Autumn weather. But for those in Costa Mesa in 1991, the holiday would take on a sinister tone and would come to represent the brutal slaying of William Nelson by his wife Omaima Nelson. Join California True Crime as we explore the crime, the courtroom drama, and the media frenzy that surrounded the case of the Model, the Smuggler, and Thanksgiving dinner.

This is the story of an often overlooked part of California History and the man that ruled the streets of Chinatown with an ironfist and was cut down by an assassin's bullet. Fong “Little Pete” Ching was one of the most powerful and famous men in late 1800’s California that you probably have never heard of. He ruled a criminal empire that affected the lives of not only the tens of thousands of people that were living in Chinatown, San Francisco at this time, but had its hooks throughout the rest of California and into other parts of the United States of America.
