In the winter of 1977, Sacramento became the setting of a nightmare. A series of brutal murders left the city paralyzed with fear — and behind it all was a man the media would come to call The Vampire Killer, Richard Chase.

But this episode isn't just about the darkness that consumed him. It's about the innocent lives he destroyed — Teresa Wallin, Evelyn Miroth, and others whose names deserve to be remembered far more than his. We explore Chase's unraveling mind, the chilling details that earned him his nickname, and the lasting impact his crimes had on a community that never forgot.

Because true crime should never just be about the killer — it's about remembering those who never got the chance to live their next day.

🕯️ This October, we're celebrating a full month of spine-chilling cases and urban legends! From unsolved mysteries to real-life horror stories, each week brings a new reason to sleep with the lights on. Tune in, lock your doors, and get ready for our Month of Spooky Episodes.
