This week, Gage is going to be telling us about Sacramento’s very own vampire, Richard Chase. In the span of just one month, from December of 1977 to January of 1978, Richard brutally murdered 6 people including 2 young children. He earned his title of “Vampire” due to the savagery of his crimes. Richard would drink the blood of, and even cannibalize his victims. But another aspect to this story that (in our opinion) isn’t taken into account enough, is Richard’s mental health. Richard suffered from delusions from the time he was a child. And unfortunately, his symptoms of mental illness were never taken seriously by any of the adults or doctors in his life. So he was left unchecked. Either way you cut the cake, this story is still unbelievably sad and beyond horrid. A true tragedy all around if you ask us. Listen to this one with caution you guys!
