About this episode

Richard Trenton Chase was a troubled youth who grew up to be a troubled man. He was obsessed with blood and would routinely kill innocent animals to satisfy his sick obsession. But at some point the killing of animals was not enough for Richard Chase. He would become a serial killer, turn his murderous attention to humans, and ultimately earn the ominous nickname "The Vampire of Sacramento".

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the details of serial killer Richard Chase. And these details are not for the faint of heart. Chase was given his nickname due to his propensity for drinking his victims' blood. He also engaged in necrophilia and cannibalism. This guy was as bad as it gets.
