1.5 million high school students in the U.S. experience hazing every year. 47% of college students have already experienced hazing before their freshman year. 55% of college students involved in fraternities, sororities, teams, and other student organizations experienced hazing - but only 1 in 10 labeled it as hazing.

This is the case of Sam Martinez.

We covered this case almost 3 years ago on our Patreon. At the time, the case was unsolved and there wasn’t a lot of information available to the public. Since then, there have been multiple arrests and a trial. This is the case of the Careaga family murders.

TW: SEXUAL ASSAULT/RAPE

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness month. According to the Center for Disease Control, sexual violence affects millions of people every year in the United States. According to RAINN, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds. 1 in 4 women have experienced either a completed or attempted rape.

Besides April being National Sexual Assault Awareness month, there are a few other reasons I wanted to discuss the cases in today’s episode. First, the rapes and sexual assaults covered in this episode actually took place near where I grew up in SE Portland, several years before I was born. And second, this episode is a warning to all listeners who live in Oregon because the asshole I’m going to talk about today is out amongst you and could actually be living in your neighborhood - and the state isn’t required to tell you that he lives there.
