Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, your host on Pushing Up Lilies. This week, we’re kicking off a two-part deep dive into one of the most chilling cases in true crime history—the terrifying story of Richard Chase, better known as the Sacramento Vampire.
In Part 1, we’re taking a close look at his early years, from childhood to young adulthood. I’ll walk you through how Chase’s twisted motives and disturbed mind led him to commit unspeakable acts. What factors led to his disturbing descent into madness? Were there warning signs that were ignored? Join me as we dig into the events that shaped one of the most infamous killers in history, setting the stage for the horror that was yet to come.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll explore his gruesome crimes and the investigation that brought his reign of terror to an end.
