Judith Hakari, Nancy Bennallack, Carol Hilburn
All killed in 1970 within a couple of hours or so of San Francisco.I'm pretty sure the man convicted of killing Betty Cloer is a suspect in at least one of the above cases.

Richard Chase went on a murder spree in late 1977 in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael. I remember the case vividly because my girlfriend lived in a neighborhood very close to the killings. The only...

It's hard to believe that Chase would be a suspect in Bennallack's murder more than seven years earlier. What was he doing in the interim? Serial killers generally don't stop once they...

The Bennellack murder seems to be different in nature than the murders of Hikari, Hillburn or Cloer (IMHO). Bennellack was murdered in her apartment and the body was left there, while the others were...

It turns out that Hilburn's case is being investigated by the Sacramento Police Department, not the County Sheriffs. Her body was discovered in an unincorporated area of the county, but she was last...

Thanks for the follow up and update! Thompson looked good to me, too, for the Hilburn murder given that they both spent their high school years in Sebastopol and were not that far apart in age.

Interesting. Makes me want to look at the R.T.C. case some more. That was one freaky guy. Thanks Dr. Doogie.

Sounds like your wife was a wise lady! I wouldn't doubt if there were other murders not attributed to him. I checked on the book: "The Dracula Killer". Quite spendy. I will keep my eyes open.

I have the Bennallack reports. I don't see how that detective can say Richard Chase killed Nancy ! No MO match either: http://criminalminds.wikia.com/wiki/Richard_Chase
