The Sickle Slasher and the Reverend

Send us a Text Message.

In 1971, deep in the Sierra Nevada, near the tiny village of Weimar, California, 17 campers experienced an event that changed their lives. By the next morning, Sheriff Wayne Brown and his deputies found three folks seriously injured and two dead. A manhunt that took them to Mexico ensued.

Clarence Otis Smith was accused of the horrific event and rightfully so. However, he had demons along with a mail-order preacher in his ear the whole time.  Find out what happened and what led up to the Sickle Slayings at the Bear River Campground.

Who was Reverend Everett T Richardson? Where did he come from? And could he of possibly been the Zodiac Killer?
