The Chilling Mysteries of the Santa Rosa...

Horror Stories
About this episode
Horror in the shadowy corners of Sonoma County, the spirit of the '60s and '70s thrived on trust and spontaneous adventures. Hitchhiking was a common, if risky, mode of travel for young dreamers seeking freedom. But amidst this culture of camaraderie, a sinister presence lurked. Between 1972 and 1973, a series of gruesome murders shattered the idyllic facade, targeting young female hitchhikers. Their mysterious deaths, marked by eerie patterns and chilling discoveries, left a trail of fear and unanswered questions. Join me as I dive into the chilling accounts of the Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders, a haunting tale that continues to baffle and terrify decades later.
