LAST DAY TO PREORDER: a signed copy of With Foundation https://withfoundationbook.com

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we kick off our series on the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders! Starting in early 1972, young women and girls around Santa Rosa, California started disappearing, most of them last seen hitchhiking, and turning up dead along back roads out in Sonoma County. In Part 1, we'll go through each of them in order, starting with two middle school girls who left a skating rink one night and never made it home. Then we'll get into the investigators who couldn't agree on whether they were looking for one killer or more than one.

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another installment of Necro Overtime! First, we're going to take a victory lap. A new documentary called Capturing Bigfoot turned up 1966 footage of Roger Patterson filming a test run different guy in a different suit, a year before the famous Patterson-Gimlin film, and his son and widow are on camera saying the whole thing was a hoax. Then a dark one out of Licking County, Ohio, where deputies found nine kids living in a trailer and a shed, and two adults are charged with child endangerment. And finally, for the PP, Palantir’s CTO says some AI researchers have started smoking to show how sure they are that AI is going to cure cancer. Sounds really dumb, but its for real.

In Part 2, we’ll pick it up in 1975, when the sheriff’s office went public with the idea that a witchcraft group might be behind the killings. Then the decades of suspects from the Zodiac to Ted Bundy. From there, we’ll get into the case getting reopened, and the DNA testing.
