We’re still in the dog days of Summer, but Murder, My Dude is already thinking Fall with an episode that’d be fitting for Halloween season!

Richard Chase, best known as The Vampire of Sacramento, was a tortured soul for sure. Mental illness, drug abuse, and awful parenting combined to create a bona fide monster that Bram Stoker himself couldn’t have thought up. This week, we go over his horrendous crime spree.

But first, This Week In Murder takes a look at an arrest finally made in a case we’d covered in one of our first ten episodes. We also explore the heartbreaking - and oft politicized - murder that has turned a North Carolina Neighborhood (and, in all likelihood, your Facebook feed) upside down.

And, as always, we close with Who Died The Worst!
