Vampire: The Richard Chase Murders
Author: Kevin M. Sullivan
Desc: By the time Richard Trenton Chase graduated high school everyone knew he was strange. But no one had any idea how bizarre he'd become or what dark impulses were flowing through his troubled brain. The transformation from the outwardly strange young man to the diabolical killer he ultimately became was gradual and would not become known until it was too late. First it was the killing of small animals and birds and the drinking of their blood. However when these sacrifices failed to satiate his needs Richard Chase would seek out the highest form of life and the city of Sacramento California would react in horror to the hideous murders and mutilations committed by his hands. For those living in the quiet neighborhoods where the murders occurred it was nothing less than a time of terror until the fiend was captured. Vampire: The Richard Chase Murders (with 23 photos) is an in-depth look into the life and disturbed mind of a killer his family and his many victims the living as well as the dead. Within these pages you'll discover what it was like for the police and what a difficult job they had finding a killer they knew wouldn't stop until he was apprehended. It was a race against time in a series of murders that would stun even the most hardened investigators. It is the story of a city under siege held captive by the man whose appetite for blood could not be satiated.
