Episode 423: The Vampire of Sacramento Part Two of Spooktacular 2023

Show Notes Episode 422: The Vampire of Sacramento
Part Two of Spooktacular 2023 “Gavin St James, Vampyre Hunter”

This week Host Dave Bledsoe remembered that time when he got drunk in Sacramento and realized Sacramento was a really boring place to get drunk. (Even drunk, Sacramento is really boring) On the show this week we continue Spooktacular 2023 with one of the vilest serial killers in American crime history, Richard Chase, the Vampire of Sacramento.

Along the way Dave takes you on an audio tour of the Big Tomato (That really IS what they call Sacramento) it only takes thirty seconds because there is so little to see. Then we dive right into why Sacramento has SO MANY serial killers. (See the part about how boring it is) After that it is straight into the backstory of Richard Trenton Chase, a regular kid growing up in regular life in the 1950s with regular 1950’s kid hobbies, like torturing and killing small animals. (You want a trigger warning? On a show about a serial killer? You didn't infer that from the topic?) We will meet Richard's family, who were not loving, in fact they had a LOT to do with what Richard became. (Well that and Richard’s peep being on the fritz) We learn how Richard mixed his own smoothies at home with all natural farm fresh ingredients. (Seriously, this is a sick dude and this is a SICK topic!) Then we discover how Richard moved from small furry creatures to hairless hominids in order to replenish his delusion blood problem. (We TRIED to keep the WORST of the detail out, but what we left in fucking horrifying!) Finally, we pin the blame on the real villain responsible for Richard’s crimes and so many other California killers in the 70’s and 80’s (It is exactly who you think it is!)
 
Our Sponsor this week is the Blood Bank of Sacramento, who need you to know they are not a cafeteria and you are not a real vampire. We open with some people who knew Richard Chase and close with the Middle of Road singing the praises of Sacramento.
